Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S1000GX 2024

The Suzuki GSX-S1000GX does a damn good job as a crossover bike. The range of possible uses is huge. You feel equally comfortable in the saddle when riding in a sporty style and when travelling comfortably. A very practical bike with which you can have a lot of fun and enjoy touring long distances.

insanely good engine

great reponsiveness, great torque curve

Very good integration of the quickshifter including perfect shifting

Very high-quality overall impression - the bike is very reliable

Very stable riding performance in all situations

Good electronic suspension enables a very wide range of use

The bike looks authentic both as a comfortable touring machine and as an aggressive sports bike

Pleasant seating comfort

Accessible and logical operation of the electronics

Very harmonious riding performance

Hardly any vibrations and no disturbing noises - the bike presents itself very confidently

automatic mode of the suspension adapts optimally to different road conditions

The maximum payload is 198kg. For a touring motorbike, this is a little too tight

The extensive standard equipment in this price range lacks a centre stand and heated grips Integration of sat nav is cumbersome - no suitable mounting point available, standard software not a fully-fledged solution

Standard tyres seem unwieldy and spoil the great impression

Windscreen can only be adjusted with tools

BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2018

As the most successful supplier of large-volume touring enduros, BMW has for years been highly successful in establishing the large R 1200 GS Adventure as the ultimate long-distance touring motorbike. Building on the driving dynamics and high off-road and touring competence of the conventional R 1200 GS, the Adventure represents the maximum solution for off-road touring riders. With its bulky fairing and 30-litre tank, the 125 hp engine has more to haul, but a high degree of agility is still maintained. Nothing is spared in terms of equipment, the big Adventure offers the full programme: ABS, ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and two riding modes "Rain" and "Road" are standard.
