Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
Yamaha R1 2012

All in all, the R1 is given the thankless role of the comfortable, easy-to-ride sports bike in the 2012 model year. From a pragmatic point of view, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but try explaining that to your mates at the pub table.
