Pros and Cons in comparison

Piaggio Beverly 400 S 2021

The Piaggio Beverly 400S for 2021 is noticeably stronger and visually more mature. The everyday hero can cope with tight city traffic just as well as with brisk country road kilometres and occasional motorway excursions. If you can do without a colour TFT display, the Beverly 400 is a fun scooter at a fair price.

powerful engine

good chassis

easy to handle

suitable for motorways

price-performance ratio

LC display greyed out

operation not perfect

BMW G 310 GS 2018

The BMW is a great, simple and very comfortable entry-level motorbike for adventurous everyday riders. Both commuting and day trips work very well with it. But the power is already quite low. With 34 hp, it is very beginner-friendly, but you very quickly wish for more punch and power. Especially at a price of about 6000 €, it is questionable whether one can financially cope with such a quick change of motorbikes, or not go straight for a more powerful bike in the A2 class.

Comfortable seating position

low weight

high-quality workmanship

beginner-friendly throttle response

also possible to ride through light terrain.

little power, especially at higher speeds

high price
