BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2023

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.

Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S 2023

Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S 2023

Moto Guzzi does not want to push the V100 Mandello S into the sports tourer segment and speaks of a roadster suitable for touring - and in fact it is more of a naked bike in terms of its pleasant seating position and agile handling, which conveys a surprising amount of touring character with its electrically adjustable windshield! The unique flaps are probably only noticeable at very low temperatures, but the engine perfectly matches the sovereign appearance and the brakes are brilliantly tuned. Finally, the S version pampers with a standard quickshifter including blipper, heated grips, MIA communication system, tyre pressure control and the electronically adjustable Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension. Asking for just under 20,000 euros for this may therefore only seem hefty at first glance.

Confident V2 powerplant with typical Guzzi vibrations

excellent Brembo brakes

comfortable seating position

electrically adjustable windshield

unique flaps for weather protection of the centre of the body

good handling

extensive standard equipment

electronic Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension
