Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2021

Yamaha MT-10 SP 2021

The MT-10SP is a beautifully made naked bike. It has placed the exact right ingredients in the right places. It rides comfortably and gets really fast when needed. Basically, it is designed as a country road bike, but is still fun on individual trackdays.

Really great ride comfort

Great balance between sportiness, practicality and ride comfort

Fantastic engine response

Sensitive and practical chassis

High-quality frame including magnificent swingarm

Wonderfully relaxed seating position

Cool but not annoying sound

A real nakedbike

On a racetrack excursion, the bike seems a little too comfortable in the end - this is due to the inactive and comfortable seating position

the front looks a little lumpy

the brakes are good, but still seem undersized on such a top model - there's more to be done.

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2021

Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana 2021

The Suzuki GSX-S1000S Katana is based on the naked GSX-S1000 and therefore impresses with all the quality and inner values of a typical Japanese machine. The Katana also has what it takes to become a visual classics, as it is the first to take up the style of the 1980s. The riding position is surprisingly comfortable and the height of the handlebars allows for comfortable control. With its low front fairing, it may not be a true touring machine, but it can certainly pass as a crossover bike that combines retro, naked and touring perfectly.

Powerful and confident in-line four-cylinder engine

absolutely unique look

comfortable seating position

easy handling

five-way adjustable traction control

good braking system

high-quality quickshifter

firm but travel-ready suspension

Few electronic features

relatively high price compared to the basic GSX-S1000

small fuel tank

LC display difficult to read
