Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-R 750 2009

The GSX-R 750 is the golden mean in many respects. It offers a level of power that is not overwhelming on the road but is also a lot of fun. On the one hand, it is relatively inexpensive, but on the other, it is still fast enough. The GSX-R 750 is a great supersport machine. If you don't value superlatives and just want a good bike, go for the GSX-R 750 and use the money you save to treat yourself to race training sessions on the Nordschleife....

Excellent engine reponsiveness

great modulation

comfortable riding position even for tall riders

reliable technology

perfect transmission

unspectacular at the pub-talk

brake pads and lines too slack for racetrack use

long final drive ratio

BMW S 1000 RR 2012

What remains is fascination, bewilderment and fear. You can't shake the uneasy feeling that you're not quite yourself on this bike. It feels like a heavy metal concert with earplugs.

Complete, electronic equipment

good braking system

strong engine

extremely fast on the road

appropriate appearance.

Chassis somewhat complicated and takes a lot of getting used to.
