Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-R 600 2009

The new bike is definitely not just a model update, but a noticeably better overall concept, even for hobby riders, which is more enjoyable than any previous 600.

Relatively low overall weight

easy handling

good-sounding power unit

precise braking system

quiet, stable chassis.

Somewhat suboptimal in the high rev range

inappropriate design.

Honda CB650R 2023

Honda's CB650R proves brilliantly that four-cylinder naked bikes with little displacement are also a real source of joy on the country road. The engine tuning provides enough pressure from the hairpin bend and rewards with a wonderful four-cylinder shriek after a short wait. The chassis components offer a solid balance between everyday life and sportiness.

engine with good revving

adequate power

sporty seating position

wide handlebars

comfortable for everyday use

somewhat sluggish

display functional, but not exciting
