Conclusion - for whom is it suitable?
So: Who is the small BMW G 310 R suitable for? For small and light people, of course. Those who simply want to ride a motorcycle and place little value on riding performance.
It is ideal for people who answer the question asked at the beginning whether a scooter would not be the better choice, with the handiness and driving pleasure of the BMW G 310 R. If the concept motorcycle is superior to that of the scooter, then here.
The Japanese competition is usually a bit more expensive than the BMW (wouldn't have thought I'd ever write this sentence). However, it usually exhausts the 48 hp limit of the driving licence class A2 and brings a little more peace than the BMW, which some consider to be hilarious.
But: After initial scepticism, one thing is clear: make sure the G 310 R is really fun. Who would have thought that?

Good, but a little bit of pressure
Is the Suzuki GSX-S 750 a buying tip? yes, sure. It is an unusually handy motorcycle that, with its equally safe and precise chassis, also satisfies beginners (there is an A2 version with 48 hp) or newcomers.The engine is a little short. Actually, it's a great machine that you can't blame much. His problem is that the competition can also build engines, and in this environment the Suzi four somewhat lacks. The aforementioned Kawa Z 900, for example, has to offer me its 948 cc engine and 125 hp simply in any position even more.
Nevertheless: If you are looking for a neatly processed bike for the evening round around the block, which is priced at less than 9,000 euros, the Suzuki GSX-S 750 is very well served. >>> Testbike by MAS - Wilster
