Cheap never, well mostly
MW driving has never been a particularly cheap pleasure. Although many specimens are around 20 years old and have collected correspondingly many kilometers, these GS are still not a bargain. It must be at least 5,000 euros, top-maintained specimens like our test bike like to scratch at the five-digit. You can understand this: The BMW R 1150 GS, if you don't catch a rocked-out model, is an almost ideal companion for the very big tour.
If you can do without cornering and agility, the GS is the ideal travel moped, where the road can be three steps below perfect.
As I said, a buddy for the good and the bad days.
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
