Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-R 750 2014

The GSX-R 750 is the golden mean in many respects. It offers a level of performance that doesn't overwhelm you on the road, but at the same time gives you a lot of pleasure. On the one hand, it is relatively inexpensive, but on the other hand, it is still fast enough. The GSX-R 750 is a great supersport machine. If you don't value superlatives and just want a good motorbike, go for the GSX-R 750 and use the money you save to treat yourself to race training on the Nordschleife....

Excellent engine response

Strong engine

sophisticated engine character

optimal braking system

comfortable seating position.

Suboptimal suspension elements

low peak power
