Conclusion on the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 GX

Rarely have we been so impressed with a bike during our test rides as we were with the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 GX. It has endless power, is technically fully equipped and rides more harmoniously than almost any other bike. Above all, it doesn't annoy the driver with all the built-in assistance systems, the driver simply benefits from them without having to adjust them greatly. Great cinema for a lot of money, but every euro is well invested. And by the way, the competitors are not cheaper either...
 
The test machine was provided to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Tornesch. There she stands as a demonstrator and is looking forward to test drivers. However, we have to warn you: Statistically speaking, a test drive with the GX leads to an immediate impulse purchase in 95% of cases! :-)
