Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2020

The new Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana is based on the naked GSX-S1000 and is therefore convincing in all its quality and inner values of a typical Japanese machine. Visually, the Katana additionally has what it takes to become a classic; after all, it is the first to pick up the style of the 1980s. The riding position is surprisingly comfortable and the high handlebars allow pleasant control. With its low front fairing, it doesn't become a distinct touring machine, but it certainly passes as a crossover bike that excellently combines retro, naked and touring.
Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2021

As before, the RS top model is indeed the most desirable of the Street Triples. In addition to the usual playful handling, the super-direct Brembo brakes and the lively character of the three-cylinder engine, there is now a more bulbous mid-range, upgraded electronics as well as a Brembo M50 brake and the once again sharpened appearance. Thanks to the very sporty Pirelli Supercorsa SP V3 tyres, trackdays are indeed a serious issue, and the now standard shift assistant with blipper function greatly increases the incentive to switch to the new model. A wonderful fun machine for both country road and track!
