BMW's R1250GS is their flagship adventure bike, with a loyal following. Creature comforts like heated seats and grips, ride modes for terrain and fuel economy, and a 136hp rocket of an engine make it easy to see why it's earned the following. In standard trim, with cast wheels and not much crash protection, this model is best suited to adventures that include more pavement than dirt, but it will hold it's own should the need arise.
