Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW K 1300 R 2009

The throttle grip is pulled open, the K pushes forward and then, when you take a short break on other motorbikes, you simply stay fully on the throttle with the souped-up K and push in the next gear. A real gem for demanding races.

Sharp looks

plenty of power

comfort

relaxed ride

optimised system

ESA 2.

Curve settling-in period at the beginning.

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2010

The engine is a delight to every test pilot with its wonderfully linear power delivery. This characteristic is marred in the hunt for seconds by a too softly tuned chassis.

Strong engine

convincing stability

efficient wind protection

appropriate performance.

Poor suspension strut

too softly tuned chassis

slight inertia

gearbox could be better
