BMW R 1300 GS 2025 vs. Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 ST 2026

Powerful engine with very sporty reponsiveness

Very good traction

Stable riding performance - yet the bike is agile and cornering-friendly

Handguards offer good wind protection

With minimal features, the bike looks more compact and sportier than before

Well-integrated radar cruise control

Comprehensible operating concept

easy-to-read display

wide range of ergonomics customisation options

Well-functioning and inconspicuously integrated emergency call system

Very good balance with different load conditions

The suspension works at a good level - however, it does not offer truly flawless reponsiveness or a really wide adjustment range

Front Collision Warning (FCW) triggers annoying false alarms in raw everyday driving

ABS system gives too much feedback into the brake lever during sporty riding

Susceptibility of the side panelling to scratches in raw off-road terrain and when used with rough boots

The direct reponsiveness of the powerful engine is a little tiring on long distances with two riders
