In the current Supersport field, the 600 is "the least evil" on the road at the moment. After all, it's not really a pleasure to go round in circles on the road with a 600. But if you like screaming rides with a lively 600, the 600 GSX-R from Suzuki is the best choice at the moment.

Those who focus on good lap times will not find the CBR 1000 RR the best partner in the field. Those who simply want to ride nice laps around the ring or on the country road will still have fun with it. It rides heart-stoppingly, looks great and gives you a lot of feeling for the rear wheel. At the regulars' table, Honda fans can at least score points with Marquez's victories, but they won't be able to come up with the Fireblade's fabulous performance figures or lap records.

great look

transparent handling

good feeling for traction

high-quality chassis

great basis for racetrack conversion

reliable and proven technology

Peak power no longer up to date

lack of traction control
