Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S1000GT 2023

The Grand Touring variant of the GSX-S combines the supersport genes of the model series with an amazing amount of touring potential. The top chassis and the bombastic engine guarantee riding pleasure. At the same time, the ergonomics are versatile enough to make relaxed stages possible. As a genuine sports tourer, the Suzuki takes both sport and touring seriously and manages this compromise extremely well. Only the gear ratio could be a little shorter for country road use and technocrats might miss lean angle-dependent systems. Apart from that, however, the GSX-S GT offers lavish features and a well-rounded overall package.

Awesome engine with lots of torque from the centre

Stable chassis

Versatile ergonomics

Good sound

Top quickshifter

Good price-performance ratio

Rather long gear ratio

windscreen not adjustable

no lean angle sensor

shock could do with more damping

Suzuki V-Strom 1050 2023

With the revision and expansion of the 1050 models, Suzuki now has the right big V-Strom for everyone. Those who know from the outset that they will stay almost exclusively on the road will find the standard model a reliable travel companion or even a buddy for all days; those who want to limit themselves less in their choice of routes and also want to ride regularly on unpaved terrain will now find the DE a good choice. The main argument, however, remains this engine, which with its 107 hp and above all its rich torque leaves hardly anything to be desired.
