Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW K 1300 GT 2011

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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
