In terms of chassis, the Suzuki has a steel frame while the Yamaha has an aluminum frame. The aluminum frame may provide better stability and handling, giving the Yamaha an advantage in this area.

Both bikes have double disk brakes at the front, providing good stopping power. The dimensions and weights of the two bikes are also similar, with the same front and rear tire widths and diameters. The Suzuki has a slightly longer wheelbase of 1450mm compared to the Yamaha's 1440mm. Both bikes have a seat height of 815mm and a fuel tank capacity of 17.5l for the Suzuki and 14l for the Yamaha.

Now, let's discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each bike. The Suzuki GSR 750 2017 has an attractive overall appearance and stable handling. The suspension elements have been successfully tuned, providing a comfortable ride. The instruments are also easy to read, adding to the overall user-friendly experience.

On the other hand, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 has several strengths. The Öhlins suspension is an extreme enrichment, providing excellent performance. The addition of Akrapovic improves both the optics and sound of the bike. The Magura HC3 radial brake pump works divinely, enhancing the braking system. The Carbon2Race covers offer grandiose optics, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal. Additionally, the combination of the seat, footrests, and handlebar clamps is very effective, providing a comfortable and ergonomic riding position.

However, both bikes have their weaknesses. The Suzuki GSR 750 2017 has a brake system that requires a lot of manual force, which may be a disadvantage in emergency situations. Additionally, the box swingarm of the Suzuki is not particularly pretty, which may be a drawback for some riders.

On the other hand, the Yamaha MT-09 2017 has some weaknesses related to financial outlay and working time. Certain parts of the bike must be registered, which may require additional time and effort. The ECU Flash is not road legal, which may be a limitation for riders who want to comply with legal requirements.

In conclusion, the Suzuki GSR 750 2017 and the Yamaha MT-09 2017 have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Yamaha may have an advantage in terms of engine power and performance, while the Suzuki may excel in terms of handling and comfort. Ultimately, the choice between the two models will depend on the rider's preferences and priorities.

A razor-sharp design with an aggressive front and narrow rear - just as speedy street raiders have always wanted. It is a pity that the rear swingarm was neglected (officially for weight reasons, unofficially for cost reasons), and the front dual-piston brake system seems a little weak. However, the performance during the ride, both at high speed and in tight corners, is quite good.

In conclusion, after several stops throughout the season, I can look back on a great result. Both in terms of performance and looks, our MT-09 is perfect. The suspension was probably our most important issue. Where before there was clearly (too much) movement in the rear in fast corners, now it is ironed over without batting an eyelid. The STX 46 shock absorber is quite stiff in its basic configuration, but also manages to get through everyday life without being uncomfortable. Thanks to generous adjustment options, there is still room for individual preferences and uses. The function of the NIX 30 cartridge is also impressive. The response behaviour - especially under load - has improved significantly. There is now also much more reserve available when braking. Where before the fork went into block and the ABS triggered when braking hard with the original set-up, now the brakes simply continue to work effectively. In addition, the MT-09 now follows the intended line in the curve radius as if by itself - a pure pleasure. The sight and sound of the Akrapovic complete system are also pure joy, and the fact that it produces a few more horsepower is felt effectively, especially in the upper third of the rev range. The front wheel shoots even more willingly into the gallery in 2nd and 3rd gear.
