Conclusion - what sticks
The Suzuki GSX-S 1000 is a typical Suzuki. She is well done, but has no highlights on board that would make her take off in particular. The technology is pleasantly down-to-earth compared to the competitors, not even the smartphone can be paired! We don't miss anything here, the most important technical helpers such as .B. a multi-stage traction control are included.Once again, we would like to highlight the really excellently functioning QuickShifter, which invites the driver to let his hands off the clutch. The competitors BMW S1000R, Ducati Monster 1200 S and Yamaha MT10 are significantly more expensive than the Suzi. Only the Honda CB1000R is priced at eye level. All of these naked bikes have one thing in general: riding with them on country roads is a hell of a lot of fun. Well done, Suzuki!
The test machine was kindly provided to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Tornesch. There she stands as a demonstrator and is looking forward to more test drivers...
This fits any
The question remains as to the target group of the bike. Of course, you have to be able to live with the advantages of the agile Naked Bikes, as well as with their disadvantages such as the non-existent windscreen. But apart from that, the Honda, like so many models from this manufacturer, suits virtually anyone – it's never a bad choice.
Only that with passion, the Japanese would have to do even better.
The test bike was provided to us by Motofun in Kaltenkirchen.
