Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati 1199 Panigale 2012

Since 2012, the 1199 Panigale has been an absolutely trend-setting concept that I believe will follow in the footsteps of the legendary 916.

Nervous driving behaviour

Suzuki GSX-R 750 2015

The GSX-R 750 is the golden mean in many respects. It offers a level of performance that doesn't overwhelm you on the road, but at the same time gives you a lot of pleasure. On the one hand, it is relatively inexpensive, but on the other hand, it is still fast enough. The GSX-R 750 is a great supersport machine. If you don't value superlatives and just want a good motorbike, go for the GSX-R 750 and use the money you save to treat yourself to race training on the Nordschleife....

Excellent engine response

great controllability

comfortable seating position even for tall riders

reliable technology

perfect transmission.

Unspectacular at the regulars' table

brake pads and lines too lax for racetrack use

long final gear ratio
