BMW S 1000 R 2015

BMW S 1000 R 2015

With the BMW S 1000 R, you notice both the close relationship to the S 1000 RR superbike and the endeavour to equip the machine with a high degree of comfort for country roads and everyday use. Accordingly, the 1000cc four-cylinder power unit is brute and yet easily controllable, and the seating position is correspondingly sporty and comfortable. The fact that the S 1000 R is one of the most affordable power naked bikes is surprising and very pleasing, although one must not get hold of the list of optional extras - because thanks to the many irresistible features, it will certainly be more expensive.

Suzuki GSX-S750 2017

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.
