Certains pourraient s'étonner qu'après avoir attendu si longtemps, Suzuki n'ait pas lancé sur le marché la power naked bike ultime et sans compromis. Au lieu de cela, la Suzuki GSX-S 1000 semble presque trop sage avec ses 149 CV. Mais si on la conduit sur une piste de course, on se rend vite compte que le moteur est bien plus puissant dans la vie réelle et que le reste des performances du châssis et du système de freinage sont également remarquables. En outre, elle offre une bonne dose d'aptitude à l'usage quotidien et pratique - ce qui n'est pas un mauvais ingrédient lorsqu'on doit tout couvrir avec une seule moto, du quotidien à la piste de course.

La KTM est et reste la nakedbike la plus brutale du marché. La position d'assise droite combinée à la puissance sauvage du V2 la font paraître plus brutale qu'elle ne l'est sur le papier. Elle a été améliorée avec précision sur ses principaux points faibles. Le moteur tourne désormais plus doucement, l'assistant de changement de vitesse apporte du calme lors des phases d'accélération et le châssis a été amélioré. Elle aime toujours autant la course effrénée que la vitesse élevée dans les longs virages.
