Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-S1000F 2016

Suzuki GSX-S1000F 2016

The GSX-S1000F is basically a GSX-S1000 with which it shares all the geometry, with a bit of added value that pays off quite well. More stability at higher speeds, more wind protection and overall more compatible with the engine's character. The GSX-R engine is still a force, even if it has run out of juice a bit down low. Suzuki also offers a great price/performance ratio here.

top exciting engine

strong brembo brakes

great accessories

fine traction control.

ABS not sporty enough

wind protection limited

knee angle a little too acute

Kawasaki Z1000 2012

Kawasaki Z1000 2012

All in all, the new Z1000 is a successful further development of its predecessor. The lack of traction control is more of a marketing problem than a problem for end customers.

Powerful engine

rich sound

unique design

No traction control

nervous chassis
