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!

A like no

What's left in the end? Well, whoever buys and drives this motorcycle will have a real exotic despite an improved handler network. See another Turismo SCS at a motorcycle meeting? Rather not.

Good taste makes you lonely, you could put it, but it's even better: you don't have to suffer for this choice, there are no compromises in everyday life, and the quality of the workmanship despite the small series is not. And the SCS? Well, there is no way to do without it (and the heavy surcharge). The beautiful exhaust is preserved. :)
