Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2023
The big GS Adventure is and remains a great motorbike for any terrain - even for tight corners. The low centre of gravity of the boxer engine, the longitudinally mounted crankshaft, the upright seating position and the powerful but easily controllable torque from far below are simply a force. Although the Adventure version has a higher seat with more weight, which is a decisive hindrance when turning or manoeuvring, in terms of performance the engine also has so much punch in the big GS Adventure that you can let it rip. The BMW's braking system is stable and excellently controllable, and the equipment and electronics can be upgraded considerably - as long as you tick the boxes on the order list. Of course, this pushes up the price, but the many fans of the fat GS Adventure obviously don't mind.
Husqvarna FE 501 2024
Overpowered? Yes, of course! But in the saddle, this also has its advantages. In many situations, you can save yourself over difficult obstacles even with the wrong gear. The 501 can cope with the lowest revs and chugs ponderously along the track when tired. Sporty pilots will probably avoid the FE 501. They will achieve better lap times with the 350 or the 2-strokes. However, the 501 is a good choice for experienced pilots who also like to ride long passages without racing stress.
