Yamaha R9 2025

Yamaha R9 2025

The Yamaha R9 is not a feel-good motorbike for leisurely country road tours - and that's a good thing. It appeals to ambitious riders who are looking for a sporty machine that also excites off the race track. The engine is outstanding, the suspension is top-notch and the brakes are excellent. Only the demanding ergonomics make the Yamaha R9 less attractive for long-distance riders or pleasure bikers. However, if you are looking for a sharp country road weapon with trackday potential, the R9 is an extremely well-rounded and affordable overall package. Be sure to test ride it! This is the only way to find out whether you are the type for the physical and direct nature of the Yamaha R9.

Large usable power range

good automatic gearshift with extended functionality

suitable for road and race track use

extensive electronics

good suspension, good brakes

Low-mounted handlebar ends, which makes for strenuous ergonomics for the wrists and neck

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2025

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.
