Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius 2016

The Suzuki Gladius SFV 650 is an honest, easy-to-understand bike with a strong confidence factor. It does not impress with extremes, but with its balance, suitability for everyday use and an engine that loses none of its charm even after years. A bike that gives pleasure for a lengthy period of time without demanding or boring its rider.

Good-natured and predictable engine character

very easy and intuitive handling

stable and neutral suspension in everyday and country road use

low seat height and balanced ergonomics

reliable and easy to modulate brakes

high confidence building for beginners and returners

durable transmission with robust base

Tightly padded seat on longer lengths

shock limited on bad roads and sporty riding style

feedback on rough bumps partly direct to the rider

standard suspension with limited adjustability

BMW F 900 R 2020

The BMW F 900 R is a full-grown motorbike. 895 cc, 105 hp and 92 Nm smell of versatility. The F 900 R fulfils this promise completely. The motorbike, including electronics and components, does a great job in every situation. But of all things, the heart of the bike, the engine and transmission unit, does not shine in premium gloss.

Great cockpit and functional connectivity

Extensive electronics can be operated logically

Very accessible but still very casual handling

Motorcycle rides bland and reserved but also wild and sporty when needed

Pleasant seating position

Wide choice of equipment and configuration options

Low and high seat options available

Suspension allows wide range of use - comfortable but also direct and precise.

Gearstick a little stiff - with and without quickshifter

Engine runs a little rough and exudes little elegance at the top

Poor splash guard at the rear
