BMW R 1250 GS 2020

BMW R 1250 GS 2020

The BMW R 1250 GS is the logical further development of the R 1200 GS - logical above all because one should not expect such a popular motorbike to be radically changed. Accordingly, the design has been changed cautiously, and the familiar options for the chassis and electronics have been retained. The new name R 1250 GS, however, promises a new engine - and it really is something! 136 hp at 7750 rpm and a whopping 143 Newton metres of maximum torque at 6250 rpm are an absolute blast! BMW has thus renovated the big GS almost perfectly: it remains clearly recognisable, has a little more electronics as standard, a still long list of surcharges (which customers like to tick from A to Z) and a now even better and more sovereign power plant - what more could you want?!

extremely high-torque boxer engine

good sound

comfortable seating position, suitable for long distances

stable braking performance

good weather protection

colour TFT display standard

LED headlights

Manageable standard equipment, long surcharge list

jagged appearance with little elegance

Honda Fireblade 30th Anniversary 2022

Honda Fireblade 30th Anniversary 2022

The SC82 was already a hit when it was released in 2020, with the aforementioned minor blemishes that Honda has now successfully eliminated in 2022. A great advantage for road and track. The new Fireblade is thus once again the top performer for both disciplines and will certainly be able to secure a place at the top.

Great engine

Good electronic tuning

Top driveability and feedback

Knee angle very narrow, especially for taller riders
