Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2021

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

Suzuki GSX-8R 2025

The GSX-8R brings a breath of fresh air to the mid-range sports faction - without appearing too radical or nervous. Even though it has a sporty appearance, it is very beginner-friendly at its core: the same 776 cc twin cylinder as in the V-Strom delivers linear, predictable propulsion. The riding position is sportier, but not aggressive - ideal for beginners looking for a more dynamic look and crisper road holding without having to fight with superbikes. It conveys control and confidence, ideal for first or new experiences on the tarmac.

Sporty look with naked bike comfort

Suitable for touring thanks to good leg ergonomics

Stable rear-view mirrors

Accessible seat height

Rather nervous at low revs

Rough quickshifter
