As romantic as the thought may be for Motorrad fanboys, most people who I’ve spoken to who own the big flagship GS put their money down because of the GS’ inherent ease of use and the almost unparalleled comfort that it offers, even on the most gruelling rides. For 2021, BMW’s flagship R 1250 GS takes the next step in making it a better motorcycle both on and off the road, with minor changes that make exponential differences to the ride experience.
Visually, the R 1250 GS hasn’t changed at all compared to its predecessor. That’s not to say it won’t catch your attention from off the rider’s seat. The sheer heft of the R 1250 GS can be intimidating. This is a 249kg motorcycle that stands tall and that wide tank flowing into the beak looks exactly as intimidating as one would expect. Aside from the whitebased livery with signature BMW red and blue accents with gold rims like our test bike, BMW also has a black and gold themed livery that celebrates forty years of the GS brand for 2021. That aside the only other big change is to the headlamps which now aside from LEDs get cornering functions, which makes riding at night a much better overall experience.

Top-up
Slotting under the Volvo XC40 V80 Twin-motor, the E60 comes with more aggressive pricing, a smaller battery, one less motor and about the same range, but is it more sensible?
