Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Tiger 800 XCx 2015
The Tiger 800 XCx appears to be just the right size as a universal talent. The engine is definitely the cream of the crop. It is lively, rev-happy, powerful and sounds a little daring. Nevertheless, it is always comfortable and easy to ride. The rest of the bike seems to be on a par.
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.
