Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R 1200 GS 2015

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 when braking, fits perfectly into the overall package on the GS and can only slightly detract from its sporty character.
Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special 2023

Pan America 1250 je Harley-Davidsonov prvi poizkus v segmentu velikih enduro motorjev - in to zelo uspešno! Razen nekaj pravzaprav zanemarljivih pomanjkljivosti je Pan America 1250 Special vsestransko dober pustolovski motocikel. Na asfaltiranih cestah pokaže svoj povsem športni značaj in se precej dobro uvršča med običajne osumljence v tem razredu. Z inovativnimi funkcijami, kot je sistem Adaptive Ride Height, bi Američanom lahko uspelo pridobiti celo večje število novih kupcev, za katere so običajni osumljenci previsoki. V kombinaciji z nizko višino sedeža je privlačen tudi za kratkonoge pilote.
