Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2020

Suzuki has done a great job with the GSX-R 1000 2017. A super-strong motorbike with a fabulously smooth torque curve. Actually unbelievable at 202 hp! The chassis is of high quality and the electronics package has no tinsel but delivers top performance.

High-revving engine

no dents in torque curve

Super stable on corner exit and radius

Great quickshifter

High-quality chassis

Terrific on fast tracks.

Engine brake not adjustable

Yamaha R1 2010

The current engine in the R1 scores points above all with its unmistakable sound, very transparent response and linear power delivery. In terms of peak power, however, Yamaha had to cut back a little.

Strong engine

sophisticated engine character

optimal braking system

comfortable seating position.

Suboptimal suspension elements

low peak power

slightly weak traction

high weight.
