Suzuki GSX-S1000 2021

Suzuki's evolution of the GSX-S1000 is a complete success. Although it is an old acquaintance in terms of its basic design, with the 2021 update to Euro5, as well as numerous revisions, the Japanese have created a wonderfully rounded package in the power naked segment. The engine, throttle response and quickshifter work flawlessly, and the suspension and brake components are tuned for sporty comfort.

Yamaha XSR900 2021

The Yamaha XSR900 is a classic optical illusion - with its round headlight, angular tank and attached tail light, it clearly passes for a retro bike. But it's no coincidence that the performance is reminiscent of the potent mid-range naked bike Yamaha MT-09, which is the extremely sporty basis for the XSR900. So the engine is a blast and the brakes are appropriately venomous. Fortunately, the engineers didn't overdo it with the chassis, the XSR900 offers sufficient comfort and the upright riding position is more comfortable than the powerful engine would lead one to expect. All in all, the XSR900 is one of the sportiest models among the retro bikes.
