In view of the fact that it is more than complete equipment due to a lot of extras that are subject to a surcharge and the fact that it is actually in a different class, the test win is hardly surprising. The BMW is as good a bike as it is expensive.

The Suzuki is at least the winner of the hearts. Your drive, although 20 years old, is still convincing. The rest can still be seen as before. It has no real weaknesses, costs the least and is cheap to maintain. A bike for computers.

The composition of the test field also caused heated discussions within the editorial team, but all two-cylinder engines in this performance segment were supposed to start.
