I've narrowed down my next bike purchase to either the BMW S1000R or Suzuki GSXS1000.
I've been set on the BMW since it was released but I'm starting to have some reservations.
I'm actually starting to think the GSXS1000 might be better than the S1000R. The differences are seemingly minor details at this point.
Sure, the S1000R is technically the better bike, but is it 46% better? The S1000R is 29% more expensive for the base model and 46% more expensive for the premium model. I've never actually seen a base at the dealer, so generally speaking, the BMW is nearly 50% more money than the Suzuki.
Is it 50% more bike, I'm starting to think not.
What do you guys think, if you had to pick between the two which would you choose and why?
GSXS1000, $10,499, 145whp, 461 lbs
S1000R, $15,295, 150whp, 456 lbs
