Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati SuperSport 950 2021

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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.
