Honda VFR 1200 F 2010

Like the other Honda models in the test, the VFR is also convincing on the brakes and has no weaknesses when it comes to safety. It's just a shame that you have to refuel every 300 kilometres.

Mechanical dual-clutch transmission

incomparable acceleration feel

sporty driving style

sophisticated technology.

Extremely high consumption of urine.

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.
