Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki GSX-R 600 2005
Despite its radical ergonomics and high-powered sports engine, the Suzuki GSX-R 600 (K5) manages to impress on the long stages of the Race Around Austria. Its engine runs smoothly and the chassis offers more than just a minimum level of comfort. In combination with the nimble Michelin tyres, it creates a sporty, direct riding experience that you wouldn't expect from an 18-year-old bike. And when it comes to fast laps on the race track, the Gixxer is still very popular. The lap time in Brno (2:17 minutes) with Bartin Mauer speaks for itself.
Yamaha V-MAX 2009
The big Vmax from Yamaha is a unique bike. This applies to the technical side, with the largest V4 engine in a bike of all time, as well as to the emotional side of riding a Vmax. Few bikes can offer such brute grunt in every riding situation, and even fewer of them are cruisers. Although its stubborn turning behaviour detracts from the riding pleasure, the seating position is quite cramped and the sound could be more indicative of the massive displacement, the propulsion is addictive. The Vmax 1700 is definitely a niche product, but also an absolutely awe-inspiring, unique bike.
