Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2018

The GSX-S 1000 from Suzuki looks sexy, has a powerful sound and really smart hardware. It rides stably, easily and is also fun to ride on tours. If necessary, the engine smokes up violently. But it can also be moved mildly. Compared to the finest Powernakeds, it lacks individual features, but anyone who looks at the price tag will quickly realise: A great choice!

Stable handling inspires confidence

Wonderfully sporty engine

Sexy look and sexy sound

Pleasant riding comfort in the saddle

Rides dynamically but also calmly and serenely - just the way you like it.

A little jerky when changing from push to load

a quickshifter with blipper would be incredibly good for it.

Suzuki SV 650 2017

The Suzuki SV 650 is accompanied by a long history of success that is sure to continue for a long time. Its supple V2 impresses with very smooth response and plenty of torque. Compact dimensions help to make the motorbike look very compact. This will be very convenient for beginners. The chassis also scores with playful handling. Unfortunately, the braking effect is not at the level one would expect from such a powerful vehicle.

Smooth engine

playful handling

great chassis

Brake too weak
