Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki GSX-R 750 2009
The GSX-R 750 is the golden mean in many respects. It offers a level of power that is not overwhelming on the road but is also a lot of fun. On the one hand, it is relatively inexpensive, but on the other, it is still fast enough. The GSX-R 750 is a great supersport machine. If you don't value superlatives and just want a good bike, go for the GSX-R 750 and use the money you save to treat yourself to race training sessions on the Nordschleife....
BMW S 1000 R 2023
The seating position is sporty, but by no means uncomfortable, the brakes are powerful and the engine of the S 1000 R is at its best - perhaps even a little too homogeneous. There is also nothing to complain about on the riding side. Based on the pure performance data and the installed electronic features, the BMW probably has what it takes for the fastest lap time. And that on any kind of surface, because with the semi-active suspension you can eat up kilometre after kilometre on bad roads littered with potholes. Unfortunately, this feeling of superiority never really spilled over to the driver. Probably the downside of too much balance in all areas - at least in my Italophile eyes. The BMW lacked that certain something, the charisma, which is difficult to explain but arouses genuine emotions.
