Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW K 1600 GT 2020

BMW K 1600 GT 2020

Extremely cultivated straight-six engine with huge torque and plenty of power - but without any willingness to use force, simply a power unit of the highest sovereignty. Agile and nimble despite a live weight of 339 kg (fully fuelled). With Dynamic ESA, DTC, ABS Pro and shift assist, it is sporty and safe to drive.

Pleasant, completely relaxed seating position

excellent electronics from traction control to semi-active suspension

ABS Pro

shift assistant

much sportier to drive than the dimensions suggest.

Cockpit already looks a little outdated in contrast to the built-in technology

Suzuki GSX-S1000GT 2022

Suzuki GSX-S1000GT 2022

The Grand Touring variant of the GSX-S combines the super-sporty genes of the model series with an astonishing amount of touring potential. The top chassis and the bombastic engine guarantee riding fun. At the same time, the ergonomics are versatile enough to allow for relaxed stages. As a true sport tourer, the Suzuki takes both sport and touring seriously and manages this compromise extremely well. Only the gear ratio could be a little shorter for country road use and technocrats might miss lean angle-dependent systems. Apart from that, however, the GSX-S GT offers lush equipment and a well-rounded overall package.

Awesome engine with lots of torque from the middle

Stable chassis

Versatile ergonomics

Good sound

Top quickshifter

Good price-performance ratio

Rather long gear ratio

Windshield not adjustable

No lean angle sensor
