The Carbon2Race covers provide grandiose optics, and the combination of the seat, footrests, and handlebar clamps is very effective.

Technical Specifications Suzuki GSX-S750 2017 compared to Yamaha MT-09 2017
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki GSX-S750 2017
More power, more performance, more sound. Suzuki also proves all the pessimists regarding the EURO4 standard wrong and delivers the GSX-S 750, a successor to the GSR 750 that has been further developed in every respect and can be a bit more serious, but doesn't have to be. To ensure that aha moments don't become oje moments, ABS and a three-stage traction control that can be switched off provide a safety cushion. With S21 tyres from Bridgestone, the GSX-S is super-sporty, allowing you to take advantage of the generous lean angle clearance. Only the acute knee angle could be a disadvantage on longer tours.

In conclusion, after several stops throughout the season, I can look back on a great result. Both in terms of performance and looks, our MT-09 is perfect. The suspension was probably our most important issue. Where before there was clearly (too much) movement in the rear in fast corners, now it is ironed over without batting an eyelid. The STX 46 shock absorber is quite stiff in its basic configuration, but also manages to get through everyday life without being uncomfortable. Thanks to generous adjustment options, there is still room for individual preferences and uses. The function of the NIX 30 cartridge is also impressive. The response behaviour - especially under load - has improved significantly. There is now also much more reserve available when braking. Where before the fork went into block and the ABS triggered when braking hard with the original set-up, now the brakes simply continue to work effectively. In addition, the MT-09 now follows the intended line in the curve radius as if by itself - a pure pleasure. The sight and sound of the Akrapovic complete system are also pure joy, and the fact that it produces a few more horsepower is felt effectively, especially in the upper third of the rev range. The front wheel shoots even more willingly into the gallery in 2nd and 3rd gear.
