Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S1000F 2016

Suzuki GSX-S1000F 2016

The GSX-S1000F is basically a GSX-S1000 with which it shares all the geometry, with a bit of added value that pays off quite well. More stability at higher speeds, more wind protection and overall more compatible with the engine's character. The GSX-R engine is still a force, even if it has run out of juice a bit down low. Suzuki also offers a great price/performance ratio here.

top exciting engine

strong brembo brakes

great accessories

fine traction control.

ABS not sporty enough

wind protection limited

knee angle a little too acute

Kawasaki Z1000SX 2015

Kawasaki Z1000SX 2015

The current model of the Kawasaki Z1000SX is already a wonderfully balanced motorbike that scores points with its sporty charms as well as its comfort features and long-distance capability. However, the new 2017 model makes everything even better: refined wind protection, a more comfortable seat, better accessories and a host of electronic helpers that make riding safe and confident even in adverse conditions. Nothing had to be changed in the sporty character of the powerful engine, and the look with the LED headlights and the many edges is almost on the level of a super sports bike - all in all, an absolutely successful further development.

Confident, powerful engine

fairing suitable for touring

sporty design

good electronic features

traction control

cornering ABS

pleasantly comfortable

well-integrated pannier system.

somewhat stiff handling in tight curves
