Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 R 2014

Brutal power, smooth, almost perfect, electronics, it only gets better with the HP4. Now BMW dominates the 1000cc naked bike class after the superbikes.

Sporty chassis

extreme power and performance

very good electronic helpers

terrific price/performance ratio

fast and comfortable on the racetrack and on country roads.

Slightly rough engine running

DDC works well, but still rather on the "hard" side overall

seat relatively high

tempts to overdrive

design a matter of taste.

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2017

Suzuki has done a great job with the GSX-R 1000 2017. A super-strong motorbike with a fabulously smooth torque curve. Actually unbelievable at 202 hp! The chassis is of high quality and the electronics package has no tinsel but delivers top performance.

High-revving engine

no dents in torque curve

Super stable on corner exit and radius

Great quickshifter

High-quality chassis

Terrific on fast tracks.

Engine brake not adjustable
