Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro 2021

Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro 2021

The Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro is a very good touring bike, as long as you are not in a hurry. It has plenty of equipment, every conceivable electronic feature, extremely pleasant ergonomics and a well-balanced, easy-care three-cylinder engine. At the same time, it is oriented towards comfort across the board. Others are better at racing around corners, but the British lady prefers to cruise in a relaxed manner. Why overuse the soft chassis when you can instead enjoy the top wind protection and inhale the landscape around you.

Accessible, superior engine

Very comfortable ergonomics

Extensive electronics package

Good wind protection

Also very comfortable for pillion riders (seat heating!)

Top quickshifter

Chassis too soft for sporty drivers

Slight engine vibrations noticeable on the motorway

Suzuki GSX-8S 2023

Suzuki GSX-8S 2023

For years, Suzuki was the brand that offered nice bikes at a good price/performance ratio. With the Suzuki GSX-8S, the brand is much more self-confident. It presents itself as high-quality, mature and places itself at the top of a hard-fought class. The unspectacular performance data and the relatively high weight tarnish the picture only briefly. During the test rides, the Suzuki was completely convincing. A really good motorbike.

Full-grown and high-quality overall concept

high-torque engine

first-class running culture, stable handling, overall very high-quality impression

Very good seat

Great nakedbike riding position

Good and precise quickshifter

high-quality controls

very good display

Suspension offers reserves for a wide range of uses despite lack of adjustment options

Good ergonomics

Quickshifter and gearstick require a little more operating force than usual

Motorbike somewhat heavier than other bikes in this class

ABS controls very defensively

Engine has no rev reserves upwards
