Suzuki GSX-S1000 2023

The new GSX-S1000 is an old acquaintance in terms of basic design - the engine and chassis are still from the predecessor. However, the machine has been modernised in many areas and presents itself at an extremely high level, especially visually. Although the engine cannot compete in the league of the super-potent Hyper Nakeds, it functions very harmoniously and powerfully enough. The conventional chassis also strikes a successful compromise between sportiness and comfort. The hammer arguments are definitely the successful design, the standard quickshifter with blipper and, last but not least, the comparatively low price.

superior engine

excellent shift assistant including blipper

balanced handling

bold design

driving-friendly seating position

good price

Electronics package not very comprehensive

no 6-axis IMU, no cornering ABS

instruments on the handlebars somewhat antiquated

display not particularly easy to read

Kawasaki Z1000 2009

Kawasaki did well to rethink and rebuild the Z1000 from the ground up. It was given a dark soul whose roots lie in the (un)good old days, but it seems more genuine and cohesive thanks to its independent development. Kawa did justice to itself and the wishes of its customers to a high degree. All in all, a courageous product for courageous riders.

Relatively much power

powerful appearance

much comfort

optimal chassis

acceptable price.

Uncontrollable instrument unit

partial manual force present.
