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

Conclusion - what gets stuck

The Kawasaki Z900 is a power. The whole thing gets all the better if you get the approximately 9,000 euros (yes, it's so cheap!) cost price. The Kawa can effortlessly annoy far stronger machines on country roads, making the 9,000 even more fitting.
 
However: On the other hand, this is quite a lot of money for a motorcycle, which can only be used to a very limited extent. The evening round around the block, even if it's a little bigger? Let's go, off for it. Or to the city for shopping? Join them, as long as you like to shop alone and a maximum of one backpack full.
Everything else is done by the second moped ... nevertheless: thumbs up!
