Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki GSX-S1000GT 2022

The Grand Touring variant of the GSX-S combines the super-sporty genes of the model series with an astonishing amount of touring potential. The top chassis and the bombastic engine guarantee riding fun. At the same time, the ergonomics are versatile enough to allow for relaxed stages. As a true sport tourer, the Suzuki takes both sport and touring seriously and manages this compromise extremely well. Only the gear ratio could be a little shorter for country road use and technocrats might miss lean angle-dependent systems. Apart from that, however, the GSX-S GT offers lush equipment and a well-rounded overall package.

The new R 1250 RT really likes the more powerful engine with 11 additional hp, because 279 kilos ready to ride are happy about every extra hp. Even more pleasing, however, are the proud 143 Newton metres - 18 more than on the predecessor. This results in even more smoothness and sovereignty, which are at the top of the list for a tourer. Nevertheless, the thick 12.5-RT can also be ridden in a sporty manner; the pronounced acceleration from below makes it extremely agile, especially when exiting a bend after a hairpin bend. In combination with the gearshift assistant Pro, the gears just slip and you involuntarily move more sportily than you might have intended. The big bonus points of the R 1250 RT are still the good workmanship, the simple and easy-to-follow operating principle and, last but not least, its relatively small turning circle.
