In terms of strengths, the BMW S 1000 R 2014 offers a sporty chassis, extreme power and performance, and very good electronic helpers.

On the other hand, the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022 boasts a superior engine, excellent shift assistant with a blipper, balanced handling, a bold design, a comfortable seating position, and a very good price.

However, both models have their weaknesses. The BMW S 1000 R 2014 has a slightly rough engine running and its dynamic suspension control (DDC) can be on the "hard" side.

On the other hand, the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022 has a less comprehensive electronics package, lacking a 6-axis IMU and cornering ABS. The instruments on the handlebars are somewhat antiquated, and the display may not be particularly easy to read.

design a matter of taste.

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022

The new GSX-S1000 is an old acquaintance in terms of basic design - the engine and chassis are still from the predecessor. However, the machine has been modernised in many areas and presents itself at an extremely high level, especially visually. Although the engine cannot compete in the league of the super-potent Hyper Nakeds, it functions very harmoniously and powerfully enough. The conventional chassis also strikes a successful compromise between sportiness and comfort. The hammer arguments are definitely the successful design, the standard quickshifter with blipper and, last but not least, the comparatively low price.

superior engine

excellent shift assistant including blipper

balanced handling

bold design

comfortable seating position

very good price

Electronics package not very comprehensive

no 6-axis IMU, no cornering ABS

instruments on the handlebars somewhat antiquated
