Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2011

Once upon a time, she was the toughest beast among the 1000s. Only the wildest dogs could ride it. Now it is the motorbike that can not only be described as "the least evil on the country road" but which also gives a lot of pleasure there.

Fine traction point

rider adaptation to race track very easy

easy steering behaviour

optimal traction point.

Plump-looking rear end.

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2010

The engine is a delight to every test pilot with its wonderfully linear power delivery. This characteristic is marred in the hunt for seconds by a too softly tuned chassis.

Strong engine

convincing stability

efficient wind protection

appropriate performance.

Poor suspension strut

too softly tuned chassis

slight inertia

gearbox could be better
