Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2018

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.

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2014

Many victorious years in international motorbike racing have made the GSX-R1000 superbike a legend - and a somewhat grey model. Real innovations or even revolutions are a long time ago, and the last updates were limited to visual upgrades, such as the MotoGP Replica paint scheme. It may look fresh and snappy, but in the segment of racers that have now advanced to technologically advanced and correspondingly expensive hyper-sports bikes, the GSX-R now looks like a slightly greying prototype. It still rides well, fast and harmoniously, you can just tell it's mature - and that's meant in a positive way. Nevertheless, we are already waiting for the next generation.

Sophisticated technology

wealth of experience from years of successful racing

wide range of accessories

greyed model

electronics no longer up to date
