Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 XR 2019
The S 1000 XR, with its now 165 hp Supersport power unit combined with the geometry and comfort of a Bigenduro, is one of the fastest motorbikes on the public road. The extensive range of accessories makes it even faster or even more comfortable, as required. However, with a seat height of 840 mm and a long crotch arch, it is only conditionally suitable for smaller riders. The 790 mm high seat, however, remedies this. The brakes are as strong as the engine, the XR convinces with precision and above all stability. Despite the insane performance, you feel well and safe, as you would expect from a BMW.
Suzuki GSX-S1000GT 2023
The Grand Touring variant of the GSX-S combines the supersport genes of the model series with an amazing amount of touring potential. The top chassis and the bombastic engine guarantee riding pleasure. At the same time, the ergonomics are versatile enough to make relaxed stages possible. As a genuine sports tourer, the Suzuki takes both sport and touring seriously and manages this compromise extremely well. Only the gear ratio could be a little shorter for country road use and technocrats might miss lean angle-dependent systems. Apart from that, however, the GSX-S GT offers lavish features and a well-rounded overall package.
