Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Panigale V2 2021

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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.
