In terms of strengths, the Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016 is praised for its powerful engine, good braking control, stable and sensitive chassis, comfortable seating position, and relatively low price.

Suzuki GSX-S1000 2016

Some might be surprised that after waiting so long, Suzuki did not launch the ultimate, uncompromising power naked bike. Instead, the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 with its 149 hp seems almost too well-behaved. But once you ride it on the race track, you quickly realise that the engine is far more powerful in real life and that the rest of the performance of the chassis and braking system is also impressive. In return, it also offers a large portion of everyday and practical suitability - not bad ingredients when you have to cover everything from everyday to race track with a single bike.

Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2017

A fascinatingly perfect motorbike. It rides easily, stably, precisely and quickly. You could almost say it's too perfect to pass for an emotional Italian. But the awesome V4 sound pulls it out again in 2017. For some, the Tuono as a naked bike is too close to a super sports bike. If that doesn't bother you, you'll love it as the best bike in its class.

Best electronics package in the nakedbike league

Super-sport level cornering speed and precision

Stable chassis

Excellent brakes

Spookily easy to ride

200hp served up with unbelievably perfect control

Sporty original equipment tyres

Very cool bike, but for some riders not brutal enough

suspension is great, but not semi-active - for mixed road/track use you have to screw it on.
