Technical Specifications Suzuki GSX-S1000F 2016 compared to BMW S 1000 XR 2017
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki GSX-S1000F 2016
The GSX-S1000F is basically a GSX-S1000 with which it shares all the geometry, with a bit of added value that pays off quite well. More stability at higher speeds, more wind protection and overall more compatible with the engine's character. The GSX-R engine is still a force, even if it has run out of juice a bit down low. Suzuki also offers a great price/performance ratio here.
BMW S 1000 XR 2017
The S 1000 XR, with its now 165 hp Supersport power unit combined with the geometry and comfort of a Bigenduro, is one of the fastest motorbikes on the public road. The extensive range of accessories makes it even faster or even more comfortable, as required. However, with a seat height of 840 mm and a long crotch arch, it is only conditionally suitable for smaller riders. The 790 mm high seat, however, remedies this. The brakes are as strong as the engine, the XR convinces with precision and above all stability. Despite the insane performance, you feel well and safe, as you would expect from a BMW.
