Alguns poderão ficar surpreendidos com o facto de, depois de tanto tempo de espera, a Suzuki não ter lançado a derradeira e intransigente moto naked de potência. Em vez disso, a Suzuki GSX-S 1000 com os seus 149 cv parece quase demasiado bem comportada. Mas quando a conduzimos na pista de corrida, rapidamente nos apercebemos que o motor é muito mais potente na vida real e que o resto do desempenho do chassis e do sistema de travagem também é impressionante. Em contrapartida, também oferece uma grande parte da adequação quotidiana e prática - nada mau quando se tem de cobrir tudo, desde o quotidiano à pista de corrida, com uma única moto.

A KTM é e continua a ser a moto naked mais brutal do mercado. A posição de assento vertical combinada com a potência selvagem da V2 fazem-na parecer mais brutal do que é no papel. Foi melhorada precisamente nos seus pontos mais fracos. O motor funciona agora de forma mais suave, o assistente de mudança de velocidades proporciona calma na fase de aceleração e o chassis foi melhorado. Continua a gostar mais da perseguição selvagem do que da alta velocidade em curva em curvas longas.
