Conclusion - what gets stuck

So all right, Markus, would that be a buying candidate after the inspection? Here yes, if you get to grips with the misfires, the Honda NTV Revere would be a very good purchase. However, this is due to the condition of the machine. This does not mean scratches or optical things, but the condition of the wear parts. If the brakes are gone, all liquids are changeable, tyres are old and cracked, a handsome soup would come up at the cost price of 1,700 euros.

Markus drew a very similar conclusion during the test of the Suzuki GS 500 E, and it has lost nothing of its topicality.

The test bike was provided to us by Heller & Soltau in St. Michaelisdonn.
