BMW R 1250 GS 2019

The BMW R 1250 GS is the logical further development of the R 1200 GS - logical above all because one should not expect such a popular motorbike to be radically changed. Accordingly, the design has been changed cautiously, and the familiar options for the chassis and electronics have been retained. The new name R 1250 GS, however, promises a new engine - and it really is something! 136 hp at 7750 rpm and a whopping 143 Newton metres of maximum torque at 6250 rpm are an absolute blast! BMW has thus renovated the big GS almost perfectly: it remains clearly recognisable, has a little more electronics as standard, a still long list of surcharges (which customers like to tick from A to Z) and a now even better and more sovereign power plant - what more could you want?!

extremely high-torque boxer engine

good sound

comfortable seating position, suitable for long distances

stable braking performance

good weather protection

colour TFT display standard

The Aprilia Tuareg 660 has a great straddle. This doesn't just mean its off-road and asphalt capabilities. Rather, the Aprilia succeeds in accommodating beginners and inspiring experienced riders. It rides easily, but also very fast when needed. On the other hand, with 240 mm of suspension travel, it offers enormous reserves, but still rides really well on asphalt. A versatile motorbike!
