Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2009

The Yamaha YZF-R1 still inspires with balanced performance - especially the 1000cc engine with its extravagant crank pin offset not only serves the powerful power delivery but also provides a wonderful sound!

Agile

strong brakes

good chassis

unique and exclusive due to the idiosyncratic engine.

The appearance, with the wide tail, might not satisfy all tastes.

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2010

Many victorious years in international motorbike racing have made the GSX-R1000 superbike a legend - and a somewhat grey model. Real innovations or even revolutions are a long time ago, and the last updates were limited to visual upgrades, such as the MotoGP Replica paint scheme. It may look fresh and snappy, but in the segment of racers that have now advanced to technologically advanced and correspondingly expensive hyper-sports bikes, the GSX-R now looks like a slightly greying prototype. It still rides well, fast and harmoniously, you can just tell it's mature - and that's meant in a positive way. Nevertheless, we are already waiting for the next generation.

Sophisticated technology

wealth of experience from years of successful racing

wide range of accessories

greyed model

electronics no longer up to date
