Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Thruxton 1200 2016
The Thruxton is far behind the Öhlins and Showa-equipped "R" in terms of sporty performance. This becomes particularly clear on the Alpine passes, where a good chassis, strong brakes and light handling are crucial. In return, it rewards the eye of the aesthete with an even more authentic, because more classic, exterior. Laymen can hardly distinguish a new Thruxton from a vintage or youngtimer. Like the Street Twin, it has a sympathetic effect on passers-by and should be enjoyed in a relaxed manner.
Suzuki GSX-R 600 2008
In the current Supersport field, the 600 is "the least evil" on the road at the moment. After all, it's not really a pleasure to go round in circles on the road with a 600. But if you like screaming rides with a lively 600, the 600 GSX-R from Suzuki is the best choice at the moment.
