Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha XSR900 2022

The XSR900 in no way wants to hide the fact that it uses the MT-09 as its basis. With a full electronics package, powerful three-cylinder and sporty chassis components, you can be incredibly sporty on this retro bike. Hopefully you'll just find a more comfortable seat in the accessories soon - because it's going to take a lot of stops on the standard seat.

Suzuki GSX-8R 2024

The Suzuki GSX-8R takes the popular and excellent recipe of the 8S and packs it into a high-quality package in the road sports class. With its lively riding performance, it can score points on country roads without being too extreme for everyday use. Although the price is higher than its naked bike sister, those who want a sportier bike should go for the GSX-8R.
