Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Rocket 3 R 2023

Despite its weight and huge dimensions, the Triumph Rocket 3 R surprises with good-natured and easy handling. The highlight of this machine is clearly the incredible 2.5-litre three-cylinder engine. Thrust in every situation and a lot of emotion are the order of the day. Fortunately, the chassis and brakes have not been skimped on either, which is why the Rocket 3 R is a fascinating package for torque lovers.

Extremely powerful engine

neutral handling

comfortable ergonomics

lots of electronics

powerful brakes

stable chassis

little leaning freedom

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2015

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
