As someone who values craftsmanship, I appreciate the engineering behind BMW’s adventure bikes. The 1250 seems to balance performance and comfort exceptionally well.
The cost is a factor, though. For that price, you could get a base 1250 and a decent used car. Still, if you’re committed to ADV riding, it might be worth it.
Skeptical about any bike being the ‘best’ ADV, but open to arguments. What makes the 1250 so special compared to other models like the Africa Twin or Multistrada?
ADV biker here. The BMW 1250 has always been a top contender, but I’d love to hear more about why this person thinks it’s the best. Any specific features stand out?

ADV bikes are a niche market, but when done right, like with the 1250, they can be game-changers. Any owners here with thoughts on maintenance costs?
As a BMW fan, I’m bias but the 1250 looks fantastic. The riding position seems more flexible than some competitors.
For the price, you’d expect top-tier features. Anyone know if the 1250 comes with advanced rider aids as standard?
The YouTube video link seems to be missing. Would love to see the full comparison.
The build quality of German bikes is undeniable. That said, I’d love to hear more about this ‘uncensored’ version mentioned in the post.
Me too – sounds intriguing!

Interesting to see the discussion on ADV bikes. I wonder how the new models compare in fuel efficiency given rising gas prices.
The debate over the best ADV bike is always lively. The 1250 has its strengths, but so do other bikes in its class.
True – it depends on what you prioritize.

Fair question – the 1250’s electronics package is very advanced.
For long-distance touring, the 1250’s reliability and comfort are hard to match. Has anyone taken one on a cross-continent trip?
I have – it’s excellent for that purpose.

Great point! The engine refinement and handling are often cited as key advantages.
Also, the ergonomics for long rides can’t be beat.
If you’re looking for an ADV bike, test rides are key. Everyone’s preferences are different, but the 1250 consistently gets high praise.
