Suzuki GSX-S1000 2025

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2025

After hundreds of kilometres on the road and on the track, one thing remains clear: the Suzuki GSX-S1000 is not the most extreme, not the fastest, not the most high-tech naked bike. It is something else - it is the most honest. It is a wonderfully mature machine. With high-quality and reliable ingredients, a look full of character and a great engine. Thanks to the tough competition, Suzuki has also brought the price into realistic spheres.

superior engine

balanced handling

bold design

active riding position

good price

breathtakingly good quickshifter

excellent reponsiveness

stable and confidence-inspiring riding dynamics

balanced compromise between sport and everyday use

solid workmanship at a high level.

no 6-axis IMU - no cornering ABS

seat too soft for sporty feedback

Kawasaki Versys 1100 2025

Kawasaki Versys 1100 2025

There is probably not a single owner of a Kawasaki Versys 1100 who is not satisfied with its riding characteristics. It simply rides well. On the other hand, I have never heard anyone say: "The Versys looks really cool!" Even owners just say "Well, it's not that ugly". Anyone who is above that will be happy with the Versys - a really good bike.

Surprisingly dynamic and agile riding performance

Excellent wind protection

Easy handling even at low speeds

Good power delivery from the four-cylinder engine

Very good price-performance ratio

Excellent cornering behaviour

High seating, aerodynamic and riding comfort

Unspectacular appearance that does not convey any dynamics

Only manually adjustable windscreen

Complicated operating concept
