Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016

Some might be surprised that after waiting so long, Suzuki did not launch the ultimate, uncompromising power naked bike. Instead, the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 with its 149 hp seems almost too well-behaved. But once you ride it on the race track, you quickly realise that the engine is far more powerful in real life and that the rest of the performance of the chassis and braking system is also impressive. In return, it also offers a large portion of everyday and practical suitability - not bad ingredients when you have to cover everything from everyday to race track with a single bike.

Powerful engine

good braking control

stable and sensitive chassis

comfortable seating position

relatively low price.

Front end looks too good

toxic throttle response in the lower rev range

The fact that the new 1200 continues the typical monster look makes it one of the most beautiful naked bikes on the market today.
