Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2023

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2023

The new Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana is based on the naked GSX-S1000 and is therefore convincing in all its quality and inner values of a typical Japanese machine. Visually, the Katana additionally has what it takes to become a classic; after all, it is the first to pick up the style of the 1980s. The riding position is surprisingly comfortable and the high handlebars allow pleasant control. With its low front fairing, it doesn't become a distinct touring machine, but it certainly passes as a crossover bike that excellently combines retro, naked and touring.

Powerful and confident in-line four-cylinder engine

absolutely independent look

comfortable seating position

easy handling

triple-adjustable traction control

good braking system

few electronic features

relatively high price compared to the basic GSX-S1000

Triumph Speed Triple R 2012

Triumph Speed Triple R 2012

The R rides as precisely and calmly as never before. It is guaranteed to keep its nerve even when the rider may have long since thrown it away. The disadvantage of the compact powerhouse is that the radii have to be a little wider and the course a little faster so that the true Queen of England can also play the 4 aces up her sleeve.

Flawless racing chassis

very precise

relatively stable

inspiring looks

great engine

stable brakes

Requires wide radii

Somewhat complicated to ride in turns

Weaknesses in comfort
