Overview - Yamaha MT-09 2016 vs Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022
The Yamaha MT-09 2016 and the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022 are both naked bikes with similar technical specifications, but they have some notable differences.
In terms of engine power, the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022 is the clear winner with 152 HP compared to the Yamaha MT-09 2016's 115 HP. The Suzuki also has a higher torque of 106 Nm compared to the Yamaha's 87.5 Nm. This means that the Suzuki will provide a more powerful and exhilarating riding experience.
Both bikes have inline engines and four cylinders, but the Yamaha has a smaller displacement of 847 ccm compared to the Suzuki's 999 ccm. This means that the Suzuki will have a slight advantage in terms of acceleration and top speed.
In terms of suspension, the Yamaha MT-09 2016 has a telescopic fork front suspension, while the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022 has an upside-down telescopic fork front suspension. This means that the Suzuki may provide better stability and handling in corners.

Both bikes have an aluminum frame with a twin tube design, which provides good rigidity and stability. They also both have double disk front brakes, which offer good stopping power.
In terms of tire dimensions, both bikes have a front tire width of 120 mm and a front tire diameter of 17 inches. However, the Suzuki has a wider rear tire width of 190 mm compared to the Yamaha's 180 mm. This may provide better traction and stability for the Suzuki.
The Yamaha MT-09 2016 has a wheelbase of 1440 mm, while the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022 has a slightly longer wheelbase of 1460 mm. This may result in slightly better stability and straight-line performance for the Suzuki.
In terms of seat height, the Yamaha has a seat height of 815 mm, while the Suzuki has a slightly lower seat height of 810 mm. This may make the Suzuki more accessible for riders with shorter legs.
The Yamaha MT-09 2016 has a kerb weight of 191 kg, while the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022 is slightly heavier with a kerb weight of 214 kg. This may result in slightly slower acceleration and handling for the Suzuki.
Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022
In terms of fuel tank capacity, the Suzuki has a larger fuel tank capacity of 19 liters compared to the Yamaha's 14 liters. This means that the Suzuki will have a longer range and require fewer fuel stops.
In terms of strengths, the Yamaha MT-09 2016 has a wonderfully powerful three-cylinder powerplant, three power modes, a fully adjustable chassis, a quickshifter as standard, a sporty upright seating position, good brakes, aggressive looks, and traction control. On the other hand, the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022 has a superior engine, an excellent shift assistant including blipper, balanced handling, a bold design, a comfortable seating position, and a very good price.
In terms of weaknesses, the Yamaha MT-09 2016 has a saddle that may be a little too hard for long tours and a licence plate holder on the swingarm that offers less splash protection than a conventional one. The Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022 has a less comprehensive electronics package, no 6-axis IMU, no cornering ABS, instruments on the handlebars that are somewhat antiquated, and a display that is not particularly easy to read.
Overall, both the Yamaha MT-09 2016 and the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022 are powerful and capable naked bikes, but the Suzuki offers a more powerful engine and some additional features at a slightly higher weight. The choice between the two will ultimately depend on the rider's preferences and priorities.
Technical Specifications Yamaha MT-09 2016 compared to Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 2016
The Yamaha MT-09 did not need to be reinvented for the coming season - it already was extremely well done almost four years ago. Instead, the Japanese focus on fine-tuning and adding practical, contemporary gimmicks such as traction control and automatic shifting. Due to the Euro4 standard, however, the engine management has been changed once again and offers an emphatically powerful but well controllable power delivery in standard mode; the power explosion of the first generation is now no longer offered even by the sharper A mode. The biggest change, recognisable at first glance, is the, in my opinion, extremely successful design with the more aggressive front and the newly designed rear. All in all, an even snazzier naked bike that was clearly built for the fun of motorcycling.
Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022
The new GSX-S1000 is an old acquaintance in terms of basic design - the engine and chassis are still from the predecessor. However, the machine has been modernised in many areas and presents itself at an extremely high level, especially visually. Although the engine cannot compete in the league of the super-potent Hyper Nakeds, it functions very harmoniously and powerfully enough. The conventional chassis also strikes a successful compromise between sportiness and comfort. The hammer arguments are definitely the successful design, the standard quickshifter with blipper and, last but not least, the comparatively low price.
