BMW S 1000 XR 2018

BMW S 1000 XR 2018

The S 1000 XR, with its now 165 hp Supersport power unit combined with the geometry and comfort of a Bigenduro, is one of the fastest motorbikes on the public road. The extensive range of accessories makes it even faster or even more comfortable, as required. However, with a seat height of 840 mm and a long crotch arch, it is only conditionally suitable for smaller riders. The 790 mm high seat, however, remedies this. The brakes are as strong as the engine, the XR convinces with precision and above all stability. Despite the insane performance, you feel well and safe, as you would expect from a BMW.

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2015

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2015

The GSX-S1000 is an honest motorbike in terms of performance and handling. You get even more than stated on paper, but you have to get the four-in-line up to speed first. As a rider, you have the feeling that you are still in command, even if the GSX-S is no longer completely without standard riding assistance systems - which work extremely well. Contact with the road feels direct, the dynamics are precise and transparent. Not only in terms of design can this naked bike give pleasure for many years to come, the somewhat outdated basis is quickly forgotten.

Legendary Suzuki engine

sharp sound

rev-happy

harmonious tuning

pleasing design

strong brakes

taut chassis

no performance cheating.

Old base
