Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1250 GS 2020
La BMW R 1250 GS est l'évolution logique de la R 1200 GS - logique surtout parce qu'on ne peut pas s'attendre à ce qu'une moto aussi populaire soit radicalement modifiée. En conséquence, le design est modifié avec précaution et les options connues sont conservées pour le châssis et l'électronique. Le nouveau nom R 1250 GS promet cependant un nouveau moteur - et il a effectivement de quoi faire ! 136 ch à 7750 tours et pas moins de 143 newtons-mètres de couple maximal à 6250 tours, c'est une véritable bombe ! BMW rénove ainsi presque parfaitement la grande GS : elle reste clairement identifiable, dispose d'un peu plus d'électronique de série, d'une liste de prix supplémentaires toujours aussi longue (que la clientèle aime cocher de A à Z) et d'un moteur encore plus performant et souverain - que peut-on demander de plus ?
