Set a Budget
A great place to start is establishing a budget. Here you accomplish two goals. First, you set a limit to avoid overspending. This eliminates too expensive options, which helps you avoid buying a model that's beyond your price point. A budget also helps you get the best option for your price point so that you don’t unnecessarily skip features or specs that you can afford.
Size & Weight
No matter what brand of motorcycle you’re looking at, there are some common considerations you’ll want to make. First, you’ll want to think about the weight and size of your bike. When it comes to BMW adventure motorcycles, weight is generally decided by the engine size and weight. The rest of the bike is going to be fairly lightweight. A heavier, bigger engine is going to give you more stability, while a lighter, smaller engine will allow you to reach top speeds much faster.
You might also need to think about where you’ll be riding and how that could impact what you choose. Larger bikes will be more stable and better for city riding. Lighter options will perform better on the off-road paths and will give you better agility. Another approach is to think about your riding level. New riders should stick with smaller and lighter models that are easier to control. Advanced riders may enjoy the bigger models with more powerful engines.
Performance
BMW adventure motorcycles range in their performance features. You can narrow your search by thinking about what's most important for you on your journey. If you plan on cruising difficult terrain full of obstacles, then look for something with higher ground clearance. If you plan on riding in remote areas without many gas stations, pick a model with a good fuel economy. Think about how you plan to ride so you can find something that will suit you well.
Your Options
BMW offers an extensive lineup of adventure bikes and each model offers something different. When you need a no-nonsense machine that is built to get down to business, you’ll be in good hands with the BMW G 310 GS motorcycle. Whether it’s your daily commute to work in the city, a trip through the countryside, or through forest trails and rough roads, the G 310 GS promises pure riding joy for everyone.
If you’re a full-time rider, you should consider the S 1000 XR model. You’ll have the extra edge you need with a powerful engine, incredible fuel efficiency, and a massive fuel tank. You’ll have all of the features you need on this adventure bike to spend more time enjoying the open road and less time refueling at the pump.
For long-distance travel, you won’t find a better option than the BMW R 1250 GS bikes. As your trips become longer, you’ll enjoy better comfort and more storage space. You’ll be zooming down the highway with a beefy engine and a sturdy chassis like you’ve never experienced before. Wherever your heart takes you, this motorcycle will follow. No matter which model you choose, you’ll be able to ride in confidence that you have a high-quality machine that’s equipped to handle all your adventures.
