BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2018

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2018

As the most successful supplier of large-volume touring enduros, BMW has for years been highly successful in establishing the large R 1200 GS Adventure as the ultimate long-distance touring motorbike. Building on the driving dynamics and high off-road and touring competence of the conventional R 1200 GS, the Adventure represents the maximum solution for off-road touring riders. With its bulky fairing and 30-litre tank, the 125 hp engine has more to haul, but a high degree of agility is still maintained. Nothing is spared in terms of equipment, the big Adventure offers the full programme: ABS, ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and two riding modes "Rain" and "Road" are standard.

Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro 2021

Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro 2021

The Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro is a very good touring bike, as long as you are not in a hurry. It has plenty of equipment, every conceivable electronic feature, extremely pleasant ergonomics and a well-balanced, easy-care three-cylinder engine. At the same time, it is oriented towards comfort across the board. Others are better at racing around corners, but the British lady prefers to cruise in a relaxed manner. Why overuse the soft chassis when you can instead enjoy the top wind protection and inhale the landscape around you.

Accessible, superior engine

Very comfortable ergonomics

Extensive electronics package

Good wind protection

Also very comfortable for pillion riders (seat heating!)

Top quickshifter

Chassis too soft for sporty drivers

Slight engine vibrations noticeable on the motorway
