Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2010

The engine is a delight to every test pilot with its wonderfully linear power delivery. This characteristic is marred in the hunt for seconds by a too softly tuned chassis.

Strong engine

convincing stability

efficient wind protection

appropriate performance.

Poor suspension strut

too softly tuned chassis

slight inertia

gearbox could be better

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2013

All in all, the Mechatronic System from Öhlins significantly expands the range of applications for supersport bikes. The radical ZX-10R was a lot of fun and travelling to the track on the road is now quite easy again.

Very fast

comfortable

electronic chassis

stable.
