Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB1000R Black Edition 2023

Noble, dignified and incredibly powerful. The CB1000R Black Edition cuts a fine figure both in front of the opera and on a sporty smoke-up on the country road. Even under full load, the power unit exudes pure composure, while the chassis and brake components also cope well with the power and weight. A great all-round naked bike package that conveys Honda quality through and through.

powerful engine Smooth quickshifter

nimble handling

5 inch TFT display

classy appearance

Seat height could become an obstacle for small pilots

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2020

The GSX-S 1000 from Suzuki looks sexy, has a powerful sound and really smart hardware. It rides stably, easily and is also fun to ride on tours. If necessary, the engine smokes up violently. But it can also be moved mildly. Compared to the finest Powernakeds, it lacks individual features, but anyone who looks at the price tag will quickly realise: A great choice!

Stable handling inspires confidence

Wonderfully sporty engine

Sexy look and sexy sound

Pleasant riding comfort in the saddle

Rides dynamically but also calmly and serenely - just the way you like it.

A little jerky when changing from push to load

a quickshifter with blipper would be incredibly good for it.
