Conclusion - what gets stuck

A really great motorcycle with which you can have long pleasure. And let's face it: BMW's travel enduro GS is one of the best-selling motorcycles in the world and has been ranked number one in Germany for years. At this point, therefore, one may well ask ourselves whether such a mass of motorcyclists can really be mistaken? We don't believe this and also find the 2010 variant of the GS extremely appealing! The only shortcoming: driving GS is not cheap. Because these motorcycles also have their price and with high mileage. But that's just the way it is with the R1200GS. If you have one, you obviously don't give it back so easily. And if anything, you can be rewarded for the loss accordingly.
