The GS also impressed us with its versatility during the test in November 2021. We rode the bike on a wide variety of terrain and were once again very satisfied. The motorbike convinces in every situation with its easy handling and practicality. On the other hand, it can also be ridden delightfully irrationally.

Euphoria spread through the long bends. The Triple is a bit more expensive than some Nippon Nakeds with cheap chassis and you can feel it. It remains stable, you can open the throttle hard and you hit the line exactly.
