I compare the Suzuki GSX-R1000R and GSX-S1000, looking at how the superbike and nakedbike offerings compare from a road rider’s perspective and where these bike’s strengths lie.
Naturally the GSX-R1000R is essentially the track version of the standard GSX-R1000, upping the ante with higher end suspenders that worked against the bike in this comparison.
The GSX-S1000 in comparison offers a more basic machine, while retaining much of the character of the 1000R, in a more accessible and road-rideable fashion.
