Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2015

The GSX-S1000 is an honest motorbike in terms of performance and handling. You get even more than stated on paper, but you have to get the four-in-line up to speed first. As a rider, you have the feeling that you are still in command, even if the GSX-S is no longer completely without standard riding assistance systems - which work extremely well. Contact with the road feels direct, the dynamics are precise and transparent. Not only in terms of design can this naked bike give pleasure for many years to come, the somewhat outdated basis is quickly forgotten.
