However, both bikes have their weaknesses. The Yamaha MT-09 2016 has a saddle that may be a little too hard for long tours and a licence plate holder on the swingarm that offers less splash protection than a conventional one. The Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016, on the other hand, has a front end that some may consider too good-looking and a throttle response in the lower rev range that can be too aggressive.
In conclusion, the Yamaha MT-09 2016 and the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016 are both powerful naked bikes with their own strengths and weaknesses. The Yamaha offers a slightly lower engine power and torque, but it compensates with its adjustable chassis and quickshifter. The Suzuki, on the other hand, offers a more powerful engine and a comfortable seating position, but it has a more aggressive throttle response and a higher price. Ultimately, the choice between the two models will depend on the rider's preferences and priorities.
Technical Specifications Yamaha MT-09 2016 compared to Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha MT-09 2016
The Yamaha MT-09 did not need to be reinvented for the coming season - it already was extremely well done almost four years ago. Instead, the Japanese focus on fine-tuning and adding practical, contemporary gimmicks such as traction control and automatic shifting. Due to the Euro4 standard, however, the engine management has been changed once again and offers an emphatically powerful but well controllable power delivery in standard mode; the power explosion of the first generation is now no longer offered even by the sharper A mode. The biggest change, recognisable at first glance, is the, in my opinion, extremely successful design with the more aggressive front and the newly designed rear. All in all, an even snazzier naked bike that was clearly built for the fun of motorcycling.
Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016
Some might be surprised that after waiting so long, Suzuki did not launch the ultimate, uncompromising power naked bike. Instead, the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 with its 149 hp seems almost too well-behaved. But once you ride it on the race track, you quickly realise that the engine is far more powerful in real life and that the rest of the performance of the chassis and braking system is also impressive. In return, it also offers a large portion of everyday and practical suitability - not bad ingredients when you have to cover everything from everyday to race track with a single bike.
