Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB750 Hornet 2024

Hardly anyone needs more bike than the CB750 Hornet, priced at just 8890 euros (in Austria) or 8780 euros (in Germany), for universal all-round use between city transport, day trip substitute and after-work fun rocket. Thanks to its "easy going" character, a broad grin under the helmet is virtually unavoidable on the Hornet. Like a real hornet in the wild, the Honda Hornet turns out to be surprisingly sociable and useful in everyday life. However, if it is pushed into a corner, it knows how to use its sting skilfully in close combat.

Powerful, high-torque engine good brakes

comfortable seating position

Suzuki GSX-8R 2024

The Suzuki GSX-8R takes the popular and excellent recipe of the 8S and packs it into a high-quality package in the road sports class. With its lively riding performance, it can score points on country roads without being too extreme for everyday use. Although the price is higher than its naked bike sister, those who want a sportier bike should go for the GSX-8R.
