Suzuki GSX-S950 2026

Suzuki GSX-S950 2026

The "small" GSX-S950 is damn close to the GSX-S1000, which is why it seems as if the proud surcharge for the 1000 will have to be properly justified. However, anyone who wants it to be as sporty as on the GSX-S1000 will already fail due to the somewhat too soft, non-adjustable suspension. However, this more comfortable design of the 950 fits the character of the engine very well. With (only) 95 hp, the engine, which is identical to the GSX-S1000, is designed for torque from below and in the middle; there is little point in stubbornly wriggling out. So if you are looking for a comparatively comfortable naked bike that is suitable for A2 and that can hardly be distinguished visually from the top model, you can save a lot of money!

Engine with plenty of punch from below

good sound

stable brakes

KTM 1390 Super Adventure S EVO 2025

KTM 1390 Super Adventure S EVO 2025

With the 1390 Adventure S EVO, KTM demonstrates what is technically possible, incorporating new and improved comfort features – such as a wonderfully smooth-running automatic gearbox, adaptive cruise control and semi-active suspension into a bike that, after ten model years, is extremely well-developed and undoubtedly ranks among the sportiest touring enduro bikes. Whether you’re out for a relaxed ride, even with a passenger, or racing with a knife between your teeth on your way to the ‘King of the Pass’ – the SAS is living proof that comfort and sportiness are not mutually exclusive.

A powerful engine that performs with confidence in any situation

a perfectly tuned automatic gearbox with noticeable differences between the gear modes
