No, our high expectations were by no means disappointed – not even a bit! The R 1200 GS Rally not only made us very good, but it makes it really difficult for us to find criticisms. Well, it's quite expensive. But quality has a price. And if you look at the prices on the second-hand market, you have to say that gs keeps its value quite long. In addition, it is of course up to everyone to decide whether they really need all the equipment packages. Clearly all do their tasks reliably and well, however, drive up the price again neatly. And already in the basic equipment we have to deal with a mature, great bike!
Otherwise, the Brixton is a pleasant companion thanks to its manoeuvrability without any special ups or downs. That raises a question – who should buy this, for whom is the Brixton Crossfire 500 suitable? Sure: For individualists who can warm up for a Royal Enfield, for example, but don't want a retro bike. Those who are looking for these pleasant companions and if they want to go on holiday alone.
The possible strongest group of buyers will take advantage of Brixton's biggest advantage: not everyone has it. And this exclusivity does not have to be paid expensively in euros or with possible defects.
The test bike was provided to us by the 2 Radhaus Stadie in Pinneberg near Hamburg.
