BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2012

You don't feel uncomfortable off-road with the GS, but it shouldn't be quite so rough for it either. The BMW scores the most points with its perfect ergonomics, superb brakes, tight chassis and unique boxer handling, complete with a deep, rasping soundtrack.

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.
