Conclusion - what gets stuck
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!
A like no
What's left in the end? Well, whoever buys and drives this motorcycle will have a real exotic despite an improved handler network. See another Turismo SCS at a motorcycle meeting? Rather not.
Good taste makes you lonely, you could put it, but it's even better: you don't have to suffer for this choice, there are no compromises in everyday life, and the quality of the workmanship despite the small series is not. And the SCS? Well, there is no way to do without it (and the heavy surcharge). The beautiful exhaust is preserved. :)
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Hamburg.
