On the other hand, the Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa 2022 is a supersport motorcycle designed for high-speed performance. It features an inline-four engine with an impressive 190 HP and 150 Nm of torque. This engine provides unmatched power and acceleration, making it one of the fastest motorcycles on the market.

The Hayabusa comes with a full electronics package, including cornering ABS, lean angle-dependent traction control, and cruise control as standard. The brakes are stable and provide excellent stopping power. The chassis is mature and offers a stable and controlled ride. However, the Hayabusa is on the heavier side, which can affect maneuverability and handling. The bike's appearance is subjective, and some may not find it appealing.

In terms of weaknesses, the V-Strom 1050 XT is relatively heavy, weighing 247 kg. This weight can make maneuvering the bike more challenging, especially in off-road situations. Additionally, the ABS on the V-Strom 1050 XT cannot be switched off, which may limit the bike's performance in certain situations. Another drawback is the lack of a quickshifter, which can make gear changes less smooth and convenient.

Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT 2020

Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT 2020

Even though the new V-Strom 1050 has moved up in price to a league in which it has to be compared more with the competition than before, it has remained true to itself despite the most modern safety features, or rather, it has remained an uncomplicated motorbike that is ready for the big journey. Its favourite terrain is the road, which, thanks to the good chassis, can also be bad and bumpy. Off-road passages are no problem either, but those who regularly seek rougher terrain will be less likely to end up with the Suzuki due to its mighty weight. On paved roads, however, the mass can be moved surprisingly quickly and effortlessly. The addictive engine, the successful retro design and the extreme suitability for touring make the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT a top motorbike for long journeys.

Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa 2022

Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa 2022

The Hayabusa is an absolute legend, the first production motorbike to run at over 300 km/h cannot be dismissed as a minor matter. With the new Busa, however, Suzuki has recognised the signs of the times. The current model, with its extensive electronic equipment including cruise control as standard, is an excellent hyper-tourer. The ergonomics are still sport-oriented, but the rider sits well integrated in the machine and thus also enjoys good wind protection. The brakes are stable, the handling is fine and the chassis is wonderfully stable and mature. The icing on the cake is, of course, the huge 1340 cubic in-line four-cylinder engine, which impresses with its 190 hp alone. Even better, however, is the maximum torque of 150 Newton metres, which is felt to be available from idle speed. In terms of sovereignty, this engine is hard to beat!
