Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S1000F 2018

Suzuki has chosen a somewhat wooden name for the GSX-S 1000 F, but otherwise the ingredients have been finely put together. The handlebars and the bike's stance are strongly reminiscent of a naked bike. The chassis as well as the engine will delight sports bike fans. A truly worthy sports tourer.

Stable chassis allows high cornering speed

rev-happy and sporty engine

pleasant wide handlebars provide a direct driving feel

low weight for this league

Engine response could be better
