Result

The new GSA is certainly not a bike for everyone. It polarizes in terms of appearance, performance, price and weight. That's a good thing, we think, because there are already enough monotonous motorcycles. Beginners will certainly lie on their side after a few meters with this motorcycle, but seasoned bikers will find the ultimate ship for the really long tour here. In the afternoon a short trip to the North Cape and back is no problem with the Adventure. And you don't have to refuel on the way either.

The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Neumünster. The GSA will be there as a demonstrator and is looking forward to test drivers. Those who want to try out the ASA will also get their money's worth in Neumünster : B&S also has a standard GS with the new automated shift assistant. So register two test drives, then order the GSA with ASA and look forward to Christmas!
