The successor to the successful Varadero has been long awaited, and now it is finally here. The Honda engineers seem to have packed everything that was available in terms of high-tech into the top model: dual-clutch transmission, combined ABS and traction control.

His little one has been perfectly introduced to life as a journalist press vehicle. Nothing can shake it now. The thing about the careful running-in on the first kilometres should not be overrated, the GS apparently also copes with the hard instant variation.

Ideal, fully-fledged entry-level motorbike

positive riding experience

optimum chassis

plenty of comfort.

Fuel consumption could be slightly lower.
