Even though the R 1100 S is already an old lady, it should not be underestimated. If you have no problem with older technology and simple options, this is an affordable touring motorbike that is always a faithful companion thanks to its solid technology.

Boxer engine full of character

comfortable ergonomics

neutral riding performance

optional ABS

cardan drive

Strong vibrations from medium speed

high weight

BMW F 800 GS 2008

BMW F 800 GS 2008

For us, the 800 GS is not a small GS, but a GS for non-BMW fans. So in principle it combines the virtues of the 1200 without its quirks, as newcomers would say.

Low price

positive ride comfort

beginner-friendly

low weight

relatively luxurious.

Annoying background noise in the (necessary) high rev range

no optional extras of the big GS
