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.

Full-grown and high-quality overall concept

high-torque engine

first-class running culture, stable handling, overall very high-quality impression

Very good seat

Great nakedbike riding position

Good and precise quickshifter

high-quality controls

very good display

Suspension offers reserves for a wide range of uses despite lack of adjustment options

Good ergonomics

Quickshifter and gearstick require a little more operating force than usual

Motorbike somewhat heavier than other bikes in this class

ABS controls very defensively

Engine has no rev reserves upwards

Brixton Cromwell 1200 2022

Brixton Cromwell 1200 2022

Brixton aims high with the Cromwell 1200! Exactly 1222 cubic metres of displacement are available in an in-line two-cylinder engine that delivers 82 hp and a tidy 108 Newton metres of torque at just 3100 revs - and behave really well in ECO mode. The components all come from renowned manufacturers, but are of varying quality. The KYB suspension is typically lax, while the Nissin brakes and Bosch electronics are convincing. Visually, the Brixton is only basically oriented towards the class of the big retro bikes, but it takes a refreshingly independent approach to design. The equipment does not need to hide from the competition, but there is still room for improvement when it comes to operation (change of riding mode, cruise control). The seating position again corresponds to the basic idea in this category - comfort counts more than sport. The Brixton Cromwell 1200 is an inexpensive addition to the class!

Astonishingly superior engine

pleasantly muffled sound

extensive electronics

renowned components

good price-performance ratio

Operation of electronics could be improved

turn-in behaviour somewhat sluggish
