Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha R9 2025
The Yamaha R9 is not a feel-good motorbike for leisurely country road tours - and that's a good thing. It appeals to ambitious riders who are looking for a sporty machine that also excites off the race track. The engine is outstanding, the suspension is top-notch and the brakes are excellent. Only the demanding ergonomics make the Yamaha R9 less attractive for long-distance riders or pleasure bikers. However, if you are looking for a sharp country road weapon with trackday potential, the R9 is an extremely well-rounded and affordable overall package. Be sure to test ride it! This is the only way to find out whether you are the type for the physical and direct nature of the Yamaha R9.
Suzuki GSX-8S 2023
For years, Suzuki was the brand that offered nice bikes at a good price/performance ratio. With the Suzuki GSX-8S, the brand is much more self-confident. It presents itself as high-quality, mature and places itself at the top of a hard-fought class. The unspectacular performance data and the relatively high weight tarnish the picture only briefly. During the test rides, the Suzuki was completely convincing. A really good motorbike.
