BMW R 1300 GS 2024

BMW R 1300 GS 2024

BMW has developed the new R 1300 GS with a wealth 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% perfected in some areas, as several recalls as well as 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

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2024

Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2024

The Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE is still a wonderfully unreasonable and brutal fun machine. It reminds us why we love motorbikes. It provides great moments in the saddle that make you forget practical disadvantages. The Marzocchi suspension elements installed since 2024 work incredibly well and, in conjunction with the Brembo Stylema system, make the XE a factor not to be underestimated in the country road duel. Off-road, it is unrivalled in this class anyway. All in all, a fascinating motorbike that attracts a lot of attention.
