Scorpion Rally STRs were the stock tire on my Yamaha Ténéré 700 and a good choice, in my view. I was pleased to see dirt-worthy rubber right out of the box since my GS had come with tires marginally capable of leaving the pavement. Large, centered tread blocks give the STRs a pur...
Talking about the electronics package, the Traction Control “maps” have now been revised to better manage the rider’s throttle input against a possible best-case scenario before the throttle position overwhelms the rear tire’s available traction, instead of relying solely on the traction control...
a bit of adjustability would have helped, but the stock unit features zero adjustability. BMW offers a higher touring screen, which I didn’t test, though others my height said the buffering was worse on highway stretches. A bike built for adventure touring should have an adjustable...

(low seat height, responsive handling) also make the 1260 S less intimidating off-road than taller, longer-suspended machines. Handling wise, the 17-inch front wheel with the stock street tire was the biggest issue off-road and would want to either dig into soft dirt or sand, or wonder ...
The handguards are fairly soft plastic like many stock units, and they have a pop-on design on the bar ends that looks like it will come-off easily if you drop the bike. And while I appreciated the adjustable windscreen that can be set with one hand, I noticed it didn’t look like...

During the slick morning conditions, I relied on the standard ‘Off-Road’ riding mode to get acquainted with the bike. In this mode, just the front tire gets ABS, while the rear tire is free to slide, and traction control allows a reasonable amount of slippage to get the revs up or ...
it’s actually embarrassing and almost unridable as stock and required 1500 dollars of mods/upgrades to allow it to pull away from a stop sign without stalling and have crash protection equal to what this bike comes with standard….and lets not even talk about warranty because i can feel ...
