Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW G 310 R 2017

BMW G 310 R 2017

The BMW G 310 R scores with easy handling that should not overtax any beginner. The great responsiveness of the single cylinder makes it easy to control, and the low seat height gives a secure footing at traffic lights. For reasons of cost, savings were made in some corners, which unfortunately also becomes visible. In comparison, the workmanship is not on a par with the competition.

Smooth response

low seat height

pretty design

throaty sound

Individual components look cheap

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2023

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2023

The Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana is based on the naked GSX-S1000 and therefore impresses with all the quality and inner values of a typical Japanese machine. The Katana also has what it takes to become a visual classics, as it is the first to take up the style of the 1980s. The riding position is surprisingly comfortable and the height of the handlebars allows for comfortable control. With its low front fairing, it may not be a true touring machine, but it can certainly pass as a crossover bike that combines retro, naked and touring perfectly.

Powerful and confident in-line four-cylinder engine

absolutely unique look

comfortable seating position

easy handling

five-way adjustable traction control

good braking system

high-quality quickshifter

firm but travel-ready suspension

Few electronic features
