Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2018

The GSX-S 1000 from Suzuki looks sexy, has a powerful sound and really smart hardware. It rides stably, easily and is also fun to ride on tours. If necessary, the engine smokes up violently. But it can also be moved mildly. Compared to the finest Powernakeds, it lacks individual features, but anyone who looks at the price tag will quickly realise: A great choice!

Stable handling inspires confidence

Wonderfully sporty engine

Sexy look and sexy sound

Pleasant riding comfort in the saddle

Rides dynamically but also calmly and serenely - just the way you like it.

A little jerky when changing from push to load

a quickshifter with blipper would be incredibly good for it.

Suzuki V-Strom 800 2023

The V-Strom 800 surprises with a high level of comfort, superior handling and sensible features ex works. The Adventure and DE versions in particular demonstrate touring expertise with character. If you are on the road a lot and attach importance to overview, comfort and utility, this is the right bike for you.

Well thought-out ergonomics with a good overview in city and touring mode

practical suspension with easily adjustable preload

standard features (such as heated grips and panniers) ideal for frequent riders

good balance between comfort and control

Limited tilt angle

Engine mapping very cosy

Rather nervous at low revs

Rough quickshifter
