Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 R 2017

BMW's universal talent also got better in 2017. The BMW offers the widest range of use and an exceptionally cultivated engine, a perfect gearbox and the best shift assistant in the field. It drives simply but quickly. You sit rather low in the vehicle.

Best shift assistant in the nakedbike league

Universal motorbike without any real weaknesses

Powerful engine, awesome sound, great handling

On the racetrack a slightly too inactive riding position

Very wide range of equipment and accessory options

Very powerful brakes

Semi-active suspension makes setup fiddling superfluous

Original equipment tyres not the finest premium goods

Inactive seating position on racetrack

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.
