Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2009

The GSX-R 1000 remains something for the experienced rider, despite its precise and balanced rideability and controllable power delivery. Suzuki knows that a thousand must remain a thousand and strictly adheres to this. Let's hope that they can continue to do so for a long time.

Improved geometry

compact engine design

relaxed seating position

system with multiple height adjustments

anti-hopping clutch.

Accessibility of compression adjustment suboptimal

weak in the lower rev range

not for beginners

Kawasaki Z900 2017

Kawasaki Z900 2017

An incredibly well-designed motorbike. A lot of test work and attention to detail went into it. It has exactly the right power, exactly the right chassis and exactly the right look. An all-round successful naked bike that will make you happy for a long time. If you like, you can ride it simply and faithfully, but if you want, you can also ride it really fast and it wheels like hell. Great!

Ingenious nakedbike chassis

superb looks

engine responds super fine, revs up willingly and has a perfectly dimensioned torque

optimum intersection of performance, price and practical use

Knee angle very narrow for tall people (order another seat!)
