Good, but not cheap
So you can imagine enjoying day trips or the ferries of everyday life on normal routes with the BMW G 310 GS. For the big tour she is rather too unrelaxed. BMW is calling for around 6,050 euros for this model. The question then arises as to who should buy this. Sure, it is suitable for beginners qua law. But as a pure beginner bike a bit expensive.
BMW's 310 series has clear qualities. If you can do without the rather limited touring ability anyway, you should take a look at the already mentioned G 310: Here you can save another 700 Euros.
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Pinneberg near Hamburg.
Conclusion - what sticks
The Royal Enfield Scram 411 is the personified reduction in its purest form. Nothing about this bike is superfluous, hardly anything can break and it is cheap to buy and maintain. It consumes only 3 liters per 100 km/h, so you only refuel a bit every 3 weeks. More deceleration is not possible and nevertheless or precisely because of this, this machine is incredibly fun. You don't have to be ashamed of the ice cream parlour because the Scram 411 looks outrageously good and everyone finds it at least sympathetic. Perfect also as a second machine!We got the test bike from 2Rad Stadie in Pinneberg . There is also a Scram 411 for sale. If it's already gone, check out bikes from Brixton or Mondial. They are also cheap and visually similar. Or you can take the RE Himalayan, from our point of view still the more universal bike.
