Aaron and Ari go on the ultimate Alpine adventure with 10 lucky readers riding eight new adventure-touring bikes including Triumph's Explorer XC, BMW's 2013 R1200GS, Ducati's Multistrada S Touring, KTM's 1190 Adventure and Adventure R Models, Yamaha's Super Tenere and Honda's Europe-only Crosstourer. And for comparison purposes, we brought along BMW's 2012 R1200GS, the reigning champ in the Adventure Touring category.

Iam one month away from my trip to Italian and Austrian Alps with my new Suzuki Vstrom 1000 XT. As someone who lives near like 300 km away Iam really happy that adventure is just around the corner and there is so many passes to explore.

I had a Harley 1200 sporty while in the Army stationed in Germany. Put 9000 miles on it in Bavaria, Austria, Switzerland, Southeastern France, and Northern Italy. Some of the best roads in the world. Perfectly smooth pavement, banked curves, cool towns and awesome scenery. Highly recommended.

I don't think it was part of their group, but the 1000 would have been an awesome bike to include. I think if BMW hosts an event they stay away from the budget priced version of the GS 1200...Suzuki Vstrom 1000.

@Sjef0194517 6 жыл бұрын

Strange, I have ridden the BMW GS and GSA LC but I like the handling and the engine of the Yamaha Super Tenere more. It vibrates less, due to the double counterweight shaft, and windprotection is better cause Yamaha designs it's motorcycles in a windtunnel. It has less power yhea, but overall, I think the Yamaha doesnt get the credit it deserves. Can't say anything for the other bikes other than that I dont like chain bikes.

@barnbersonol 4 жыл бұрын

The whole point of a 1200cc adventure bike is the ability to drive 1000 miles before reaching the Alps and starting your tour properly. If you're going fly/hire then use a 500.

@busterrabbit 6 жыл бұрын

The Stelvio is overrated, unless you do it very early in the morning it's way too busy with cyclists, motorhomes, busses and other bikes and you end up crawling along in 1st gear. Hairpins are not much fun on a bike anyway, there are so many better roads for bikes in the alps.
