Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-R 750 2008

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....

Excellent engine reponsiveness

great modulation

comfortable riding position even for tall riders

reliable technology

perfect transmission

unspectacular at the pub-talk

brake pads and lines too slack for racetrack use

long final drive ratio

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.
