Both bikes feature fuel injection systems and liquid cooling, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. They also have four cylinders, providing smooth power delivery. However, the displacement differs, with the Ducati having a larger 1103ccm engine compared to the Suzuki's 999ccm engine.

When it comes to suspension, both bikes feature upside-down telescopic forks at the front.

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.

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2022

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.

superior engine

excellent shift assistant including blipper

balanced handling

bold design

Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2021

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.

The most powerful naked bike ever

good ergonomics

superb, electronically adjustable Öhlins suspension

brute Brembo Stylema brakes

full electronics package

handsome, distinctive look.

very expensive

loud exhaust sound

full power only in the upper rev range
