Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki GSX-S1000GT 2022
The Grand Touring variant of the GSX-S combines the super-sporty genes of the model series with an astonishing amount of touring potential. The top chassis and the bombastic engine guarantee riding fun. At the same time, the ergonomics are versatile enough to allow for relaxed stages. As a true sport 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 lush equipment and a well-rounded overall package.
KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2018
With generous standard equipment, a retuned engine and unmistakably edgy KTM design, the 1290 Super Duke GT aims to enter the sport touring segment. With rideable performance and the full power of the naked bike in the spirit of the "Ready-to-Race" credo, it stands out from the competition not only visually. The mattighofen sports fanatics even fit heated grips and cruise control to offer frequent riders a nice spot. Somehow they still manage to remain credible and to trigger storms of enthusiasm in the rider.
