Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 1300 GS 2024

BMW has developed the new R 1300 GS with a great deal of experience and expertise, which is reflected in its advanced technology and versatility. The model appeals to both experienced and new riders and offers an impressive combination of power, comfort and state-of-the-art features. It is a successful blend of compactness, power and luxury that performs both off-road and on the road. Unfortunately, the first series of the new 1300 GS is not yet 100% mature in some areas, as several recalls and vulnerable components show.

Powerful engine with very sporty reponsiveness

Very good traction

Very 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

Not every desired configuration is possible - sometimes unnecessary extras have to be selected

Suspension works at a good level - however, a truly flawless reponsiveness is not offered, nor is a really wide adjustment range

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

The bike looks a little too compact for an adventure bike when ridden by tall riders, especially from the rear

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

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

Handguards with integrated indicators not suitable for off-road use

Mirrors with integrated blind spot warning system and exposed wiring unsuitable for off-road use

Seat comfort for rider and passenger only mediocre on long lengths - seat bench is too soft! The direct reponsiveness of the powerful engine is a little tiring on long distances for two

Despite the high price level of the GS, the quality of some components, such as the plastic gear lever, leaves a lot to be desired

Honda NC750X DCT 2021

It is all too easy to label the NC750X as an emotionless, boring everyday machine. But while it is indeed an excellent, economical and, thanks to the extra storage space, extremely practical bike for the daily ride to work, it can also make your heart beat faster. The low centre of gravity gives it top handling and in sport mode you can take advantage of it. Contrary to expectations, the NC750X is a joy to ride, even when cornering. Even the sound at sporty speeds is impressive and sounds like a much bigger motorbike. The DCT suits the NC750X perfectly and is an asset in all riding situations. If you can get by with 59 hp and are looking for a motorbike for all occasions, the NC is the perfect choice.
