Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 2024

Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 2024

The Pan America 1250 is Harley-Davidson's first attempt in the segment of large touring enduros and it has definitely succeeded! Apart from a few, rather negligible flaws, the Pan America 1250 Special is an all-round good adventure bike that even pleases with its off-road qualities. The Revolution Max V2 engine has a sporty character, placing it perfectly in the luxury enduro bike class. With innovative features such as the Adaptive Ride Height System, the Americans could even manage to acquire a larger number of new customers for whom the usual suspects in the big enduro bike segment are all too high.

BMW R 1250 GS Adventure 2023

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.

low centre of gravity ensures surprisingly accessible manoeuvrability
