Overview - Suzuki GSR 750 2017 vs BMW S 1000 R 2017

The Suzuki GSR 750 2017 and the BMW S 1000 R 2017 are both naked bikes with similar engine types, in-line 4-cylinder engines. However, there are significant differences in their technical specifications and overall performance.

In terms of engine power, the BMW S 1000 R takes the lead with 165 HP compared to the Suzuki GSR 750's 106 HP. This results in a significant difference in torque as well, with the BMW offering 114 Nm compared to the Suzuki's 80 Nm. The BMW's larger displacement of 999ccm also contributes to its higher power output.

Both bikes feature double disk brakes at the front, but the BMW's brakes are equipped with four pistons, providing more stopping power compared to the Suzuki's double piston brakes. The BMW also has wider rear tires, measuring 190 mm compared to the Suzuki's 180 mm, which contributes to better traction and stability.

In terms of chassis, the Suzuki GSR 750 has a steel frame, while the BMW S 1000 R features an aluminum frame. The BMW's frame type is also a twin tube, similar to the Suzuki's. This difference in frame material may contribute to differences in weight and handling.

In terms of strengths, the Suzuki GSR 750 is praised for its attractive overall appearance, stable handling, successful tuning of suspension elements, sufficient comfort, and easy-to-read instruments. On the other hand, the BMW S 1000 R is praised for having the best shift assistant in the naked bike league, a powerful engine with an awesome sound, great handling, a wide range of equipment and accessory options, very powerful brakes, and a semi-active suspension that eliminates the need for setup adjustments.

However, both bikes have their weaknesses as well. The Suzuki GSR 750's brake system requires a lot of manual force, and its box swingarm is not particularly attractive. The BMW S 1000 R's original equipment tires are not of the finest premium quality, and its seating position on the racetrack is considered too inactive.

In conclusion, while both the Suzuki GSR 750 2017 and the BMW S 1000 R 2017 are naked bikes with similar engine types, the BMW offers significantly more power and torque. The BMW also has a wider range of strengths, including its shift assistant, powerful brakes, and wide range of equipment options. However, it also has some weaknesses, such as its original equipment tires and seating position on the racetrack. Ultimately, the choice between these two bikes will depend on individual preferences and priorities.

Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSR 750 2017

Suzuki GSR 750 2017

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.
