Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-07 2020

The MT-07 is a wonderful fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch and the engine is currently by far the most agile powerplant in this class - and perhaps even above. The light handling fits in perfectly and the chassis makes the understandable compromise between comfort and sport - reminding us that the affordable MT-07 should also have a lot to offer beginners. Only the design with halogen headlights and conventional forks is rather old-fashioned.

High-torque two-cylinder

well-done chassis set-up

easy to ride

pleasant seating position

large selection of accessories

price-performance ratio is right

Optics and fittings already look grey

controls on the handlebars a little cheap

Suzuki GSX-8S Evo 2024

The Suzuki GSX-8S is a great bike for all bikers who like a racy ride but still appreciate agility, a well-behaved engine and comfort. The EVO version of the GSX-8S is a real eye-catcher and emphasises the modern design even more. The many colour combinations of the sticker kit make the EVO model a highlight.

Agile riding performance

benevolent engine

unusual looks

EVO windscreen optimises ergonomics

35kW throttle possible

Rather nervous at low revs

Rough quickshifter
