Yamaha R7 2022

Yamaha R7 2022

Those who expect the Yamaha R7 to be a half-hearted solution will be surprised at how well-balanced the little supersports bike is. Of course, the engine with just over 70 hp doesn't have what it takes to challenge the R6, for example, but the engine with its punch from below fits the character perfectly. The chassis components are of high quality, even fully adjustable at the front, and the handling of the slim grenade is absolutely awesome. The seating position is fine, not as radical as on a real super sports bike, and therefore suitable for everyday use.

Suzuki GSX-8S 2023

Suzuki GSX-8S 2023

For years, Suzuki was the brand that offered nice bikes at a good price/performance ratio. With the Suzuki GSX-8S, the brand is much more self-confident. It presents itself as high-quality, mature and places itself at the top of a hard-fought class. The unspectacular performance data and the relatively high weight tarnish the picture only briefly. During the test rides, the Suzuki was completely convincing. A really good motorbike.
