Conclusion - what sticks
The S 1000 R is basically a double R, from which the fairing has been removed and the torque curve on country roads has been optimised. It is super sporty, which can be an disadvantage and a disadvantage at the same time. If you want to sit upright on your streetfighter, you are out of place here. If you are looking for proximity to the front wheel and asphalt, you will find it here!In any case, we had tons of driving fun and did not feel overwhelmed despite the immense performance. This is exactly why you have to compliment BMW: Not all manufacturers succeed in putting such a grenade on the wheels for (almost) everyone. To anticipate misunderstandings: Of course, this motorcycle is not a beginner's machine!
The test machine was kindly provided by Bergmann & Söhne in Pinneberg - thank you!
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
