Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki GSX-S1000GT 2023
The Grand Touring variant of the GSX-S combines the supersport genes of the model series with an amazing amount of touring potential. The top chassis and the bombastic engine guarantee riding pleasure. At the same time, the ergonomics are versatile enough to make relaxed stages possible. As a genuine sports tourer, the Suzuki takes both sport and touring seriously and manages this compromise extremely well. Only the gear ratio could be a little shorter for country road use and technocrats might miss lean angle-dependent systems. Apart from that, however, the GSX-S GT offers lavish features and a well-rounded overall package.
BMW S 1000 XR 2015
The BMW S 1000 XR does its job as a sporty touring machine very well. 160 hp and 228 kilos ready to ride already hint at agile handling, but in the saddle it looks even better. Just like the naked heavyweight S 1000 R, the XR cannot deny its kinship to the S 1000 R superbike. Added to this is an impeccably comfortable riding position and a wide handlebar that makes zipping through hairpin bends a pleasure. The electronics inspire unrestricted confidence and the brakes can be applied as if on a super sports bike. Only the screeching four-cylinder exhaust noise and the vibrations in the mid-range don't really suit a tourer. Otherwise, the S 1000 XR is completely convincing.
