Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2011

Honda has lovingly and logically developed the CBR 1000 RR in detail. The Fireblade remained as it always was - just a little better. We were fast, we rode safely, we had fun, and in these difficult conditions. The total control thing is much more than brochure talk. It's a 20-year-old religion worth believing in.

Plenty of power

fast driving

confident chassis

ABS

precise

reduced fuel consumption.

Technology not yet fully developed.

Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius 2009

The Suzuki's top performer is clearly its engine; the V2 is wonderfully agile and powerful. This often makes up for the somewhat feminine appearance, which this racy engine does not really deserve.

solid handling

good ergonomics

powerful V2 engine

cheap-looking swingarm

telescopic fork
