Pros and Cons in comparison

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

Yamaha MT-10 2020

The Yamaha MT-10 exudes a lot of emotion with the cool CP4 engine, but also doesn't forget pragmatic utility. For a naked bike, it offers a lot of comfort on long tours. It rides fast but is still refined at all times. On the racetrack, the chassis is not precise enough to beat the other Powernakeds. Overall, however, it scores with its versatility paired with radical looks and awesome sound.

great sound

pleasant wind protection

comfortable seating position even on long tours

great engine response

balanced overall package despite radical looks and wicked sound

Too inactive seating position on the racetrack

chassis and ride assistance systems sufficient for trackdays but not on the same level as the other Powernakeds.
