Prós e contras em comparação
BMW R 1200 GS 2016

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 conjunto geral da GS e apenas diminui ligeiramente o seu carácter desportivo.
BMW R 1200 RT 2015

Era previsível que a nova R 1200 RT teria um desempenho ainda melhor com o novo motor boxer parcialmente refrigerado a água. Embora os 125 cv e os 125 Newton metros de binário tenham bastante para transportar com os 274 quilos prontos a rodar, a RT mantém a sua inacreditável efervescência por baixo. Isto torna-a extremamente ágil, especialmente na saída da curva após uma curva fechada. Em combinação com o assistente de mudança de velocidades Pro (que está, obviamente, disponível a um custo extra), as mudanças fluem e involuntariamente move-se de forma mais desportiva do que poderia ter pretendido. Os grandes pontos de bónus da R 1200 RT são o seu bom acabamento, o princípio de funcionamento simples e fácil de seguir e, por último, mas não menos importante, o seu pequeno círculo de viragem.
