Suzuki GSX-S125 2021

The Suzuki GSX-S125 feels more grown-up than the identically constructed GSX-R125. It is slightly wider around the tank and does not need a fairing for a maximum speed of about 120 km/h. Technically, it is identical to the GSX-R, but with higher and wider handlebars and thus a more upright position. Technically, it is identical to the GSX-R, but it is more fun with the higher and wider handlebars and the resulting more upright riding position. A wheelie is pretty easy to do, so you can do without a few km/h of top speed.

KTM 1290 Super Adventure R 2022

The R variant of the 1290 Super Adventure is one of the most luxurious options for long tours that don't end on paved roads. Plenty of power is available at all times and the rally look immediately evokes wanderlust. The WP suspension can cope with almost any conceivable surface, but it has to be adjusted manually and you also have to do without the distance cruise control.

Very sporty, but also cultivated V2 power plant

extremely playful handling despite high weight

driving-friendly seating position

good brakes including cornering ABS

comprehensive electronics package

clear, well-structured instruments with huge 7-inch display.

Gearshift assistant at extra cost

higher price than for the S despite fewer features
