BMW K 1300 GT 2009

BMW K 1300 GT 2009

The engine now produces 160 hp and 135 Nm. This should make further comments on driving performance superfluous. Sitting upright with the windshield extended, you can accelerate to over 250 km/h with absolute ease. Only at this point do you start to think a little about the poor engine - below this, it is simply completely underpowered, always and everywhere.

Relaxed riding feel

confident turn-in behaviour

strong engine - lots of power

efficient windshield.

Handling disadvantages in bends.

With the revision and expansion of the 1050 models, Suzuki now has the right big V-Strom for everyone. Those who know from the outset that they will stay almost exclusively on the road will find the standard model a reliable travel companion or even a buddy for all days; those who want to limit themselves less in their choice of routes and also want to ride regularly on unpaved terrain will now find the DE a good choice. The main argument, however, remains this engine, which with its 107 hp and above all its rich torque leaves hardly anything to be desired.
