Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2012

It may well be that the market for 1000cc superbikes is shrinking, and it may also be true that the current price structure reserves this motorbike category for a very elite class. But for those who value the greatest possible acceleration and the highest fun factor, the Suzi is a comparatively good value.

Pleasant, cosy engine

powerful transmission

sporty, comfortable seating

light-footed handling

well-tuned chassis.

Radically close-cut geometries

technically somewhat improvable.
