Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2019

A worthy new edition from Honda. Even if it doesn't quite shine as brightly in the standard version as it does with the Öhlins Gold in the "SP" version, the Fireblade is a much better bike in 2017. The electronics package is good, the handling great and the seating position very good. The bike looks like a unified whole and will make Honda fans happy.

Good brakes

Low weight and nimble handling

Engine has plenty of power from the rev range

High build quality

No shift assistant

sluggish and not very precise throttle grip

chassis "nice" on the racetrack but not good enough to precisely set the scene for the great handling

disadvantages at peak performance on long straights

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2020

Suzuki has done a great job with the GSX-R 1000 2017. A super-strong motorbike with a fabulously smooth torque curve. Actually unbelievable at 202 hp! The chassis is of high quality and the electronics package has no tinsel but delivers top performance.

High-revving engine

no dents in torque curve

Super stable on corner exit and radius

Great quickshifter

High-quality chassis

Terrific on fast tracks.

Engine brake not adjustable
