Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S1000F 2016

Suzuki GSX-S1000F 2016

The GSX-S1000F is basically a GSX-S1000 with which it shares all the geometry, with a bit of added value that pays off quite well. More stability at higher speeds, more wind protection and overall more compatible with the engine's character. The GSX-R engine is still a force, even if it has run out of juice a bit down low. Suzuki also offers a great price/performance ratio here.

top exciting engine

strong brembo brakes

great accessories

fine traction control.

ABS not sporty enough

wind protection limited

knee angle a little too acute

Kawasaki Versys 1000 2018

Kawasaki Versys 1000 2018

The Kawasaki Versys 1000 is not a completely new model - even if it looks like one from the design point of view. The look has been cleverly adapted to the current aggressive Kawasaki line with two pointed headlights and many edges at the front. Technically, on the other hand, it has been cautiously upgraded - but quite sensibly. Two additional horsepower boost the output to 120 hp, which is excellent to ride thanks to the wonderful in-line four-cylinder characteristics. The chassis corresponds to the sporty demands of a Kawasaki, but the ergonomics and comfortable seating position allow for long journeys - just like a big enduro. With useful accessories such as a pannier set, top case, heated grips and additional headlights, the Versys 1000 becomes a serious long-distance tourer - the comparatively low base price makes these gimmicks quite affordable.
