Is the BMW R1250GS Adventure TE the ideal adventure bike? Are there any drawbacks? And can you get around them? The GS Adventure is almost a byword for adventure bikes. It has had such sales dominance over the last few years that it has become the bike to beat for all the competitors trying to…

The 1290 Super Adventure comes in two versions, the ‘S’ and ‘R’. This test bike is the ‘S’ and in a nutshell is the more street-biased of the two, with smaller 17in rear and 19in front cast wheels rather than spokes.

9th February 2021
