With what can only be described as a GS cult, there appear to be either lovers or haters, I decided it was about time I get my butt on the seat and test ride the infamous GS. But I decided to go one step further and try both the 1250 and 850 side by side. I hired the bikes from Moto Hire Spain near Malaga and they were in excelent condition and rubbing Michenlin rubber so it was a solid start.

Myself and a girlfriend Anika explored the stunning scenery around Malaga in southern Spain for 5 days riding around 1000kms and in this video I will share my thoughts on the two BWM GS motorcycles… warning… I was really not sure why you would ever buy the 850.

I’ve got extensive experience on a range of adventure bikes so if you’d liketo see the rivals here you go:

This is the perspective of an experiences female rider on the GS.
