Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-8TT 2025

With the GSX-8TT, Suzuki delivers a bike with character and a cool look, a custom bike out of the box, so to speak. The mixture of classic accents and modern technology is successful, and the positioning as a high-quality character with retro charm is fitting. However, the entry into a new retro generation at Suzuki is not entirely favourable.

Cultivated engine

good suspension

high-quality finish

good features

suitable for everyday use

powerful LED-Headlights

pleasant ergonomics

large range

successful appearance

Licence plate holder disturbs otherwise wonderful look

price upscale

TFT screen somewhat carelessly pulled into the retro concept

BMW F 900 R 2025

The BMW F 900 R remains a prime example of common sense on two wheels in 2025. It does not impress with radical looks or a brute engine - but that is precisely its strength. If you are looking for a reliable, versatile naked bike suitable for everyday use that offers solid technology, modern safety features and a fair price-performance ratio, this is the bike for you. The model upgrade brings sensible improvements to details without overloading the tried and tested concept.

Price-performance ratio

Riding modes incl. Dynamic mode as standard

New, adjustable fork

ABS Pro and DTC as standard

Revised ergonomics: sporty but comfortable

Pleasant handling, accessible riding dynamics

Good workmanship, solid technology

Design still rather restrained, not very emotional

Quickshifter is stiff at low revs

Suspension set-up at the rear more geared towards comfort than sport
