Relaxed Cruiser
If you overlook this, getting around with the BMW is a very enjoyable hobby. Let it be with the hustle and bustle, the appropriate movement of the BMW automatically leads to a flowing driving style, without corners or edges. The faster you drive, the more steering momentum would be needed, so at some point you let it be easy – well.
Compared to the competition, the BMW convinces with its bullish start and the gnarled, authentic nature. She is equal with the consistency of her design as well as the crisp sound and loving details. Although the comfort on long distances may not be the best, you are well dressed with the BMW everywhere.
Although the BMW nineT Scrambler is actually 1,900 euros cheaper than its heritage sister, who would have thought that, you shouldn't do without an extra: The beautiful spoke wheels (395 euros) are excellent. BMW was the last to ride the Scrambler wave for the time being, but with a convincing model.
Was there anything else? Oh yes, the off-road suitability. Oh no, there was nothing – just like the Scrambler models of the competition.
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Pinneberg.
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
