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.
