Suzuki GSX-S750 2017

More power, more performance, more sound. Suzuki also proves all the pessimists regarding the EURO4 standard wrong and delivers the GSX-S 750, a successor to the GSR 750 that has been further developed in every respect and can be a bit more serious, but doesn't have to be. To ensure that aha moments don't become oje moments, ABS and a three-stage traction control that can be switched off provide a safety cushion. With S21 tyres from Bridgestone, the GSX-S is super-sporty, allowing you to take advantage of the generous lean angle clearance. Only the acute knee angle could be a disadvantage on longer tours.

If you like, you can ride it simply and faithfully, but if you want, you can also ride it really fast and it wheels like hell. Great!
