However, both models have their weaknesses as well. The Honda CBF 1000 2006 has a neat but unspectacular chassis, which may not appeal to riders looking for a more aggressive and sporty design.

The sum of the unspectacular details results in a perfectly balanced motorbike. Lovers of European motorbikes might think, "too sterile, too little character". The CBF cannot and will not force a Tuono, a Monster or an MV out of the garage. It pushes the happy owner out of the garage onto the asphalt every day.

The GSX-S1000F is basically a GSX-S1000 with which it shares all the geometry, with a bit of added value that pays off quite nicely. More stability at higher speeds, more wind protection and overall more compatible with the engine's character. The GSX-R engine is still a force, even if it has run out of juice a bit down low. Suzuki also offers a great price/performance ratio here.
