KTM 990 Super Duke 2005

You can still enter corners precisely or turn the bike on. You can still correct every radius with ease and at will. The Superduke is still more fun than having fun in your lederhosen. And you can still take on anyone with it.

High-performance device

extreme potential - not fully achievable.

Suzuki GSX-S1000GT 2022

Suzuki GSX-S1000GT 2022

The Grand Touring variant of the GSX-S combines the super-sporty genes of the model series with an astonishing amount of touring potential. The top chassis and the bombastic engine guarantee riding fun. At the same time, the ergonomics are versatile enough to allow for relaxed stages. As a true sport 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 lush equipment and a well-rounded overall package.

Awesome engine with lots of torque from the middle

Stable chassis

Versatile ergonomics

Good sound

Top quickshifter

Good price-performance ratio

Rather long gear ratio

Windshield not adjustable

No lean angle sensor
