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.
The question remains as to the target group of the bike. Of course, you have to be able to live with the advantages of the agile Naked Bikes, as well as with their disadvantages such as the non-existent windscreen. But apart from that, the Honda, like so many models from this manufacturer, suits virtually anyone – it's never a bad choice.
Only that with passion, the Japanese would have to do even better.
The test bike was provided to us by Motofun in Kaltenkirchen.
