Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha XSR900 2022

The XSR900 in no way wants to hide the fact that it uses the MT-09 as its basis. With a full electronics package, powerful three-cylinder and sporty chassis components, you can be incredibly sporty on this retro bike. Hopefully you'll just find a more comfortable seat in the accessories soon - because it's going to take a lot of stops on the standard seat.

powerful engine

quickshifter as standard

good brakes

electronics package

sporty but everyday ergonomics

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2009

The GSX-R 1000 remains something for the experienced rider, despite its precise and balanced rideability and controllable power delivery. Suzuki knows that a thousand must remain a thousand and strictly adheres to this. Let's hope that they can continue to do so for a long time.

Improved geometry

compact engine design

relaxed seating position

system with multiple height adjustments

anti-hopping clutch.
