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

display not particularly easy to read

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2020

Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports DCT 2020

Who said you need 150 hp or more to be in the "upper class"? The Adventure Sports offers everything a comfortable touring enduro needs, and with its electronic chassis and all conceivable safety features, it needs fear no comparison. Ready for the big tour and, thanks to a range of well over 400 kilometres, also for really long stages, you don't have to stop at all on unpaved roads thanks to the ample suspension travel, and you'll get further than many might think.

powerful engine

wonderfully functioning semi-active chassis

sophisticated electronic driving aids

touchscreen colour display

good ergonomics

long-distance capability

almost "too good" wind protection

confusing flood of buttons on the left handlebar

weight

the price, even if it may be justified
