MW driving has never been a particularly cheap pleasure. Although many specimens are around 20 years old and have collected correspondingly many kilometers, these GS are still not a bargain. It must be at least 5,000 euros, top-maintained specimens like our test bike like to scratch at the five-digit. You can understand this: The BMW R 1150 GS, if you don't catch a rocked-out model, is an almost ideal companion for the very big tour.
If you can do without cornering and agility, the GS is the ideal travel moped, where the road can be three steps below perfect.
As I said, a buddy for the good and the bad days.
So: thumbs up, or not? Clearly, thumbs up. Rarely can you ride a motorbike, which perhaps does not meet the personal taste and certainly not the riding style – but which nevertheless earns sympathy points without end.
It is a Honda, I want to say: High quality is guaranteed, easy operation as already mentioned. Perhaps the price prevents the purchase? No, it's 6075 Euros new price, so all the fun is for small money.
The test bike was provided to us by Motofun in Kaltenkirchen.
