Conclusion - what sticks

Without question, Urban G/S is beguiling. Our tester Markus let himself be carried away to the remark that in his eyes it is currently the most beautiful motorcycle on the market. It is also a typical boxer child and high-quality workmanship from front to back. For those who do not constantly commute between Germany and Mongolia, the Urban G/S may even be better suited than a normal GS, because the Urban G/S is handier and weighs significantly less.
 
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Pinneberg for this test. There is exactly this bike as a demonstrator and is looking forward to a lot of test riders. So, let's go to Pinneberg near Hamburg!

Conclusion - what sticks

Just while writing, I notice that I am not able to put the driving feeling of the test on paper. Sorry, but if you want to experience what MV feels like, you probably have to sit up yourself. In any case, the F3 RR is an extreme bike in every respect and not for everyone. If you are interested in exclusive super sports cars, you should definitely take a test drive and form your own opinion.
 
We kindly received the test machine from Bergmann & Söhne in Hamburg. Here she stands as a demonstrator and who dares: TEST DRIVE!
