BMW R 1200 GS 2016

A GS is at home almost anywhere - but only to a limited extent on the racetrack. It's a pleasure to feel the power of the partially water-cooled boxer twin cylinder on the exit of the bend - 125 hp only seems much weaker on paper than 150 or even 160 hp on the competition. With 125 Newton metres of torque, the acceleration from the bottom is superb anyway and the GS, at 238 kilos ready to ride, does not carry too much flab despite its bulky appearance. In very tight corners, the low centre of gravity also has a positive effect - the BMW R 1200 GS is very hard to crack! Even the front telelever suspension, which suppresses the front wheel's tendency to sink in under braking, fits perfectly into the GS's overall package and only slightly detracts from its sporty character.

At Ducati, there is no series in which there is not a top model that takes precedence over at least one base model. That's good, because the Italians can afford to charge outrageously more. Outrageously more, of course, only for those who cannot afford the Ducati Hypermotard 950 SP - the normal version can do almost everything just as well. But the fine difference is made by such fine ingredients as shining gold oil equipment front and rear, forged Marchesini rims, fine carbon parts and the successful paintwork in the Ducati Corse look.
