Conclusion - what gets stuck
Again, the thought arises: Why do so few people know this bike? Suzuki itself is holding back on the market with novelties, which can be clearly seen in its market shares. Too bad, really a pity. You can, because this mid-range adventure bike clearly shows that the Japanese can create a really good bike, which has its own character.
So off to the test drive. Example ice here: Miner and sons in Tornesch have provided us with the test bike.
Doesn't have to be yellow.
Conclusion - what gets stuck
All in all, the same-parts adventure was all about. She comes around the corner with this trusting attitude, which does not substride even when they get closer. You just have to want to afford it and, above all, you have to be able to do it. If that is the case, it will lead the way in the middle class.
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Pinneberg.
