Uma GS sente-se em casa em quase todo o lado - mas apenas de forma limitada na pista de corridas. É um prazer sentir a potência do bicilindro boxer parcialmente arrefecido a água à saída da curva - 125 cv só no papel parecem muito mais fracos do que os 150 ou mesmo 160 cv da concorrência. Com 125 Newton metros de binário, a aceleração a partir do fundo é soberba e a GS, com 238 quilos pronta a conduzir, não carrega demasiada flacidez apesar da sua aparência volumosa. Em curvas muito apertadas, o baixo centro de gravidade também tem um efeito positivo - a BMW R 1200 GS é muito difícil de quebrar! Mesmo a suspensão dianteira com telelever, que suprime a tendência da roda dianteira para afundar durante a travagem, encaixa-se perfeitamente no pacote geral da GS e só pode diminuir ligeiramente o seu carácter desportivo.

A Aprilia Caponord 1200 Rally é inconfundivelmente o modelo de topo da gama Capo: um elegante conjunto de malas, crash bars, proteção do motor, faróis LED adicionais e um extravagante conjunto de jantes com raios são incrivelmente agradáveis à vista. Em termos de desempenho, a Rally com controlo de tração, ABS e cruise control não está muito longe da sua irmã "normal" Travel Pack. E o motor, com os seus 125 cv, é e continua a ser um companheiro poderoso que impressiona acima de tudo pelo seu som V2 estridente e boa potência. É preciso gostar do chassis confortável - enquanto os fãs da liga hardcore torcerão o nariz, todos os outros apreciarão o engenhoso chassis ativo que suaviza até os choques mais bruscos. A única coisa que impede a utilização em todo-o-terreno são os pneus de estrada; a roda dianteira de 19 polegadas teria certamente todo o gosto em fazer uma excursão fora de estrada com pneus diferentes.
