Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

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.

Triumph Street Triple 675 R 2016

Triumph Street Triple 675 R 2016

The Triumph Street Tripel R is known as an extremely lively naked bike that is enormous fun on the country road. But the little R-Streety also cuts a fine figure on the racetrack and doesn't get on your nerves with a spongy chassis or too little power. Even the braking system with its two 310-millimetre discs and radially mounted Nissin four-piston calipers at the front is as powerful as you would expect from a very, very sporty motorbike that is also used to a large extent on country roads or in everyday life.
