However, there are also weaknesses to consider. The Suzuki's electronics package is not very comprehensive, lacking a 6-axis IMU and cornering ABS. The instruments on the handlebars are somewhat antiquated, and the display is not particularly easy to read. The Ducati, on the other hand, is very expensive, has a loud exhaust sound, and its full power is only accessible in the upper rev range.
In conclusion, both the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022 and the Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2021 are impressive naked bikes with their own strengths and weaknesses. The choice between the two ultimately depends on the rider's preferences, budget, and desired level of performance and features.
Technical Specifications Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022 compared to Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2021
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022
The new GSX-S1000 is an old acquaintance in terms of basic design - the engine and chassis are still from the predecessor. However, the machine has been modernised in many areas and presents itself at an extremely high level, especially visually. Although the engine cannot compete in the league of the super-potent Hyper Nakeds, it functions very harmoniously and powerfully enough. The conventional chassis also strikes a successful compromise between sportiness and comfort. The hammer arguments are definitely the successful design, the standard quickshifter with blipper and, last but not least, the comparatively low price.
Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2021
The problem of the Streetfighter V4 S with Euro4 engine, namely no power in the lower rev range but explosion in the upper rev range, has been largely rectified with the update to Euro5. Although the disgusting 208 hp are still only available at 13,000 rpm, the SF V4 S now also works acceptably at lower revs. The electronic Öhlins suspension is at its best and the brute Brembo Stylema stoppers again celebrate the penchant for the racetrack. Ergonomics and handling are also basically good, but on the racetrack you would wish for lower handlebars because of the awesome power. A perfect poser bike that also works on the country road, and on the racetrack anyway. Only the too-loud sound should be curbed a little.
