Good, but not cheap
So you can imagine enjoying day trips or the ferries of everyday life on normal routes with the BMW G 310 GS. For the big tour she is rather too unrelaxed. BMW is calling for around 6,050 euros for this model. The question then arises as to who should buy this. Sure, it is suitable for beginners qua law. But as a pure beginner bike a bit expensive.
BMW's 310 series has clear qualities. If you can do without the rather limited touring ability anyway, you should take a look at the already mentioned G 310: Here you can save another 700 Euros.
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Pinneberg near Hamburg.
Everything else seems slow
What remains? Those who use the Ducati Streetfighter V4S will be left speechless. It seems impossible to get used to this primal force (on the other hand, it is also impossible to keep your driving licence while trying out). There are a number of power-naked bikes, like the KTM Super Dukes,that have impressed us hard. But, let's be clear: the Ducati is three more numbers sharper. Not purely in terms of driving performance, but in terms of the overall concept. Suddenly, everything you've driven so far seems to be under-powered.
If you are looking for this tiny tip in a pointed target group, you are right here. Ducati has put the ultimate aggro bike on two wheels. Everyone else should not be blinded by the suitability for everyday use: it is no shame not to like the Duc.
Hm. It wouldn't be a shame, but it's a shame ;)
