Suzuki Bandit 650 2005

Some twisty stages become wonderful special stages. It is reassuring to know that you don't need a GSX-R 1000 for 15,000 euros to have a good time in the Winkelwerk. There was a lot of shifting, late braking and early acceleration. It was just a nice little race among friends.

Good workmanship

clean engine tuning

plenty of power

spring preload and rebound adjustable

positive chassis.

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RX 2026

The Speed Triple 1200 RX is once again a pure naked bike and not a slimmed-down supersports bike. It is a high-quality evolution of the Speed Triple concept, but one that consciously seeks the middle ground between these worlds - and sets its own accents in the process. It is also aimed at those riders who generally enjoy riding supersports, but who no longer have the suffering capacity to really sit on a supersports bike in everyday life or on the race track. It offers supersport character with a reasonably relaxed riding position - a balancing act that works remarkably well.
