Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-R 600 2009

The new bike is definitely not just a model update, but a noticeably better overall concept, even for hobby riders, which is more enjoyable than any previous 600.

Relatively low overall weight

easy handling

good-sounding power unit

precise braking system

quiet, stable chassis.

Somewhat suboptimal in the high rev range

inappropriate design.

BMW S 1000 RR 2010

We have a strict and merciless order from the boss to thank for that. There are tough performance checks before the S 1000 RR leaves the factory. At BMW, they didn't want to show their hand and risk even one disappointing test bench report finding its way into the media.

Superior performance

well-functioning driving aids

very fast

optimal price.

Agility

complicated handling

braking stability

high weight.
