Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2009

The GSX-R 1000 remains something for the experienced rider, despite its precise and balanced rideability and controllable power delivery. Suzuki knows that a thousand must remain a thousand and strictly adheres to this. Let's hope that they can continue to do so for a long time.

Improved geometry

compact engine design

relaxed seating position

system with multiple height adjustments

not for beginners

Honda CBR600RR 2024

The Honda CBR600RR is a sporty bike with impressive riding pleasure and precise handling. The well-adjusted suspension, powerful brakes and reliable quickshifter ensure an excellent riding experience, especially on winding roads. The comfortable seating position and the modern display also contribute to the positive overall impression. However, there are also some weaknesses: The heat generated by the under-seat exhaust can be uncomfortable in city traffic and when travelling at slow speeds, and the engine's power at low revs leaves a lot to be desired. In addition, the soft suspension can reach its limits on the race track. Overall, the CBR600RR is an excellent bike for sporty riders who are willing to make these compromises.
