Kymco AK 550i ABS 2019

Kymco AK 550i ABS 2019

The first impression on the Kymco AK 550i was thoroughly positive! The NOODOE system is a particular highlight on every climb, with customisable displays that sweeten the day time and time again. Thanks to the large power reserve of the in-line two-cylinder, overtaking manoeuvres are completely worry-free, even though the Kymco has quite a bit of weight around its hips. However, the centre of gravity is very low - once the AK 550i is rolling, the kilos are quickly forgotten. Only in the details does the Kymco weaken. The windshield, for example, can only be adjusted with tools and the readability of the instruments is not ideal in direct sunlight.

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.
