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
The Royal Enfield Scram 411 is the personified reduction in its purest form. Nothing about this bike is superfluous, hardly anything can break and it is cheap to buy and maintain. It consumes only 3 liters per 100 km/h, so you only refuel a bit every 3 weeks. More deceleration is not possible and nevertheless or precisely because of this, this machine is incredibly fun. You don't have to be ashamed of the ice cream parlour because the Scram 411 looks outrageously good and everyone finds it at least sympathetic. Perfect also as a second machine!We got the test bike from 2Rad Stadie in Pinneberg . There is also a Scram 411 for sale. If it's already gone, check out bikes from Brixton or Mondial. They are also cheap and visually similar. Or you can take the RE Himalayan, from our point of view still the more universal bike.
