Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2012

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2012

It may well be that the market for 1000cc superbikes is shrinking, and it may also be true that the current price structure reserves this motorbike category for a very elite class. But for those who value the greatest possible acceleration and the highest fun factor, the Suzi is a comparatively good value.

Pleasant, cosy engine

powerful transmission

sporty, comfortable seating

light-footed handling

well-tuned chassis.

Radically close-cut geometries

technically somewhat improvable.

Yamaha R1 2010

Yamaha R1 2010

The current engine in the R1 scores points above all with its unmistakable sound, very transparent response and linear power delivery. In terms of peak power, however, Yamaha had to cut back a little.

Strong engine

sophisticated engine character

optimal braking system

comfortable seating position.

Suboptimal suspension elements

low peak power

slightly weak traction

high weight.
