Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2009

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

weak in the lower rev range

not for beginners

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2012

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2012

At the current price level of the 1000cc, you can't call any motorbike a bargain, but the Honda is still at the lower end of the price scale. This should not be forgotten when making comparisons with the Panigale or the Aprilia RSV4 Factory.

Simple chassis

pleasant engine

relatively comfortable ride

ABS

seating position unattractive for taller riders.

Unusual set-up problems - balance and handlebar precision.
