Kawasaki Z 1000 SX versus Suzuki GSX-S 1000 F
Japanese sports tourers in the comparison test
Z 1000 SX and Suzuki GSX-S 1000 F identical. However, the Suzuki has a slightly wider handlebar and positions the driver further forward, which results in a more active seating position and sharper driving behavior. Potholes and hard edges in the asphalt put the advantage of the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 F into perspective. The chassis of the Kawasaki Z 1000 SX responds much better and is more comfortable without becoming unstable.
The Kawasaki Z 1000 SX scores on the subject "Assistance systems": ABS suitable for bends and traction control, which also functions as a wheelie avoider, are on board; Inertia sensors provide the necessary data. In addition, an anti-hopping clutch with servo assistance on the Kawasaki Z 1000 SX reduces the force required by the left hand. The Suzuki GSX-S 1000 F also has ABS and traction control, but without such sophisticated sensors in the background. Your conventional clutch requires a lot of power and is comparatively difficult to dose.
The Kawasaki Z 1000 SX lags behind the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 F in terms of rated power and is also heavier; However, these handicaps are hardly noticeable on the country road, as the Kawasaki Z 1000 SX has been optimized for medium speeds. If you want to exhaust the engine of the Suzuki GSX-S 1000 F, you have to turn it at over 10,000 rpm.
