Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2009

The GSX-R 1000 remains something for the experienced rider, despite its precise and balanced rideability and controllable power delivery. Suzuki knows that a thousand must remain a thousand and strictly adheres to this. Let's hope that they can continue to do so for a long time.

Improved geometry

compact engine design

relaxed seating position

system with multiple height adjustments

anti-hopping clutch.

Accessibility of compression adjustment suboptimal

not for beginners

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017

The KTM is and remains the most brutal naked bike on the market. The upright seating position combined with the wild V2 power make it seem more brutal than it is on paper. It has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs smoother, the shift assistant brings calm in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved. It still loves the wild chase more than high cornering speed on long bends.

Provides the most adrenaline rush

Extensive configuration options when buying

Grandiose brakes

Great original equipment tyres

Practical electronic features

Great seating position for tall people

Electronic features can be set very sporty and also deactivated.

Shift assistant nice, but in direct comparison with other power nakeds a bit rough

Exhausting to ride

Precise stroke not always easy to hit

The most dangerous motorbike for the driving licence on the market.
