Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW G 310 GS 2019

BMW G 310 GS 2019

The BMW is a great, simple and very comfortable entry-level motorbike for adventurous everyday riders. Both commuting and day trips work very well with it. But the power is already quite low. With 34 hp, it is very beginner-friendly, but you very quickly wish for more punch and power. Especially at a price of about 6000 €, it is questionable whether one can financially cope with such a quick change of motorbikes, or not go straight for a more powerful bike in the A2 class.

Comfortable seating position

low weight

high-quality workmanship

beginner-friendly throttle response

also possible to ride through light terrain.

little power, especially at higher speeds

high price

Suzuki DR-Z4S 2025

Suzuki DR-Z4S 2025

The Suzuki DR-Z4S is an all-round successful comeback - not a shallow retro rehash, but a consistently modernised further development of a popular and proven concept. It remains true to its line: robust, easy to use, versatile and yet capable of many things. It is a bike for a small niche of riders, between hard enduro riders and adventure bike riders. For this niche, however, it fills an important gap as a true dual sport bike and hardly allows itself any weaknesses. The most critical points are the remaining 5-speed transmission and the high price. Whether these points discourage a purchase or whether the DR-Z4S is still worthwhile as a legend and versatile vehicle remains a matter of taste.

Great, smooth yet powerful engine that makes off-road riding easy

Beautifully responsive KYB suspension with a wide adjustment range

Good-natured yet agile handling

Excellent gravel mode of the traction control

Intuitive operation of the electronics

Active ergonomics

Good country road and long-distance qualities

Nicely controllable brakes

Fills a gap in the motorbike segment

Long gear ratio as limit for tough off-road use

Fork preload not adjustable

Handlebars a little low for tall riders around 1.90 metres

Standard tyres as a limit on loose off-road terrain

High price for an A2 bike
