The "small" GSX-S950 is damn close to the GSX-S1000, which is why it seems as if the proud surcharge for the 1000 will have to be properly justified. However, anyone who wants it to be as sporty as on the GSX-S1000 will already fail due to the somewhat too soft, non-adjustable suspension. However, this more comfortable design of the 950 fits the character of the engine very well. With (only) 95 hp, the engine, which is identical to the GSX-S1000, is designed for torque from below and in the middle; there is little point in stubbornly wriggling out. So if you are looking for a comparatively comfortable naked bike that is suitable for A2 and that can hardly be distinguished visually from the top model, you can save a lot of money!

good sound
