BMW R 1300 GS 2024
BMW has developed the new R 1300 GS with a great deal of experience and expertise, which is reflected in its advanced technology and versatility. The model appeals to both experienced and new riders and offers an impressive combination of power, comfort and state-of-the-art features. It is a successful blend of compactness, power and luxury that performs both off-road and on the road. Unfortunately, the first series of the new 1300 GS is not yet 100% mature in some areas, as several recalls and vulnerable components show.
Powerful engine with very sporty reponsiveness
Very stable riding performance - yet the bike is agile and cornering-friendly
Handguards offer good wind protection
With minimal features, the bike looks more compact and sportier than before
Well-integrated radar cruise control
Comprehensible operating concept
wide range of ergonomics customisation options
Well-functioning and inconspicuously integrated emergency call system
Very good balance with different load conditions
Not every desired configuration is possible - sometimes unnecessary extras have to be selected
Suspension works at a good level - however, a truly flawless reponsiveness is not offered, nor is a really wide adjustment range
Front Collision Warning (FCW) triggers annoying false alarms in raw everyday use
The bike looks a little too compact for an adventure bike when ridden by tall riders, especially from the rear
ABS system gives too much feedback into the brake lever during sporty riding
Susceptibility of the side panelling to scratches on raw off-road terrain and when used with rough boots
Handguards with integrated indicators not suitable for off-road use
Mirrors with integrated blind spot warning system and exposed wiring unsuitable for off-road use
Seat comfort for rider and passenger only mediocre on long lengths - seat bench is too soft!
The direct reponsiveness of the powerful engine is a little tiring on long distances for two
Despite the high price level of the GS, the quality of some components, such as the plastic gear lever, leaves a lot to be desired

BMW F 900 GS 2024
The F 900 GS feels completely different to its direct predecessor, the F 850 GS. Instead of a sedate all-rounder, with the Enduro Pro package it has become an agile adventure bike with considerable off-road capabilities. Uncomplicated yet powerful, it can be ridden on and off the beaten track. However, it only really comes into its own with a few accessories. The Enduro Pro package and Dynamic package are almost mandatory purchases, which also pushes the price up. All in all, a remarkable reorientation of BMW's in-line two-cylinder enduro bike.
Suitably dimensioned brakes
Super responsive, optional suspension
Optional enduro bike pro mode offers versatile configuration options
Successful ergonomics for seated and standing riding
Sophisticated off-road solutions, such as folding foot brake lever riser
Accessible, comfortable and cool - a great combination
Wind protection could be better
Only tubeless rims available
Standard suspension not good enough off-road
Engine runs a bit raw and louder than comparable competitors
