Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #15Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #14Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #13 I tried out both (32'' inseam / 175cm) and found the Suzuki GT to be more aggressive (In relative Sport-Touring terms) than the RS. Out of a couple of bikes I tried Suzuki was the most forward leaning beaten only by Ducati Supersport. I'm afraid you'd need to go a little 'SUV' for upright/light - Tracer, Trident, or Vstorm perhaps The spread would be Ducati SS - Suzuki GT - Kawa S1000 - RS I've only ever seen a couple of Guzzi's and never tried the VFR to compare.

Yup! That sums it up pretty well! Amazes me how often the RS gets overlooked in group tests. As in, not even in the group. |

Zitat von Oscarguitar im Beitrag #20 Agreed. It's a very positive review. Also, I'm somewhat surprised it gets wheeled out for a full 6-page review at this point, as a 2023 model, when according to the review, the only changes are the addition of a USB port, an 'Eco' riding mode and reshaped lights...

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #22Zitat von Oscarguitar im Beitrag #20 as evidenced earlier in the thread, the author is a huge fanboi of the RS and presumably offered the article to Bauer at low cost. The magazine has been losing money for a long time and will be discontinued later this year.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #23 Interesting, as I cancelled my subscription renewal a couple of months ago, still got a few copies to receive. |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #26 Seconded - I use that too; it's extraordinarily good: having signed up to my local library, I can get all the UK bike rags on there for nothing - download them all as required to read on a tablet/iPad app. Am quite sorry to hear that RiDE is closing down - where does that intel come from, then? That's the one mag I do get on subscription (well at the end of the day I do still prefer hard copy on balance, and it stops my elderly mum worrying about what to give me for my birthday each year!)
