Suzuki V-Strom 650 2010

A very well-equipped Suzuki, the likes of which you don't see every day. From the extensively integrated electronics to the pleasant riding experience, you basically have everything you need for motorcycling.

Relatively low overall weight

pleasant sound

positive ergonomics and seat comfort

strong, well-controllable brakes

ABS

well equipped.

The engine does tend to slow down with a passenger on long journeys.

BMW R 1200 GS 2009

Either it was a stroke of luck or the best developers were at work - handlebars, geometry, seat, knee angle, footrests - it just fits really well for the majority of Central Europeans. All in all, there is still no motorbike that can kill the GS.

Optimal wind protection

comfortable seat

good posture

positive ergonomics

weather robust

quiet chassis.

Seat a little too low.
