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.

Even a Super Duke is in a tight spot when the bends are not too sharp and the KTM can make full use of its radical handling and its unrivalled ability to correct the radius on naked bikes. The Speed Triple is more harmonious, patient and predictable. The Duke has to be beaten, the Triple can also be stroked.

Controlled chassis

hard sound

stable.

Rough gearing sometimes disturbs the idyll between man and machine.
