Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 R 2018

Suzuki has done a great job with the GSX-R 1000 R 2017. A powerful motorbike with a fabulously smooth torque curve. Actually unbelievable at 202 hp! The chassis is of high quality and the electronics package has no tinsel but delivers top performance.

High-revving engine

no dents in torque curve

Super stable on corner exit and radius

Great quickshifter

High-quality chassis

Terrific on fast tracks.

Engine brake not adjustable

Wheelycontrol linked to traction control

Honda VFR 1200 F 2010

Like the other Honda models in the test, the VFR is also convincing on the brakes and has no weaknesses when it comes to safety. It's just a shame that you have to refuel every 300 kilometres.

Mechanical dual-clutch transmission

incomparable acceleration feel

sporty driving style

sophisticated technology.

Extremely high consumption of urine.
