2012 Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa Comparison

The riding position of the Hayabusa is stretched out and designed for taller than average riders. Even though it’s been four years since its last overhaul, the 2012 Suzuki Hayabusa ($12,999) still garners instant street cred at bike nights worldwide. With its impressive acceleration numbers, easy handling, not to mention the plentitude of accessories and aftermarket hop-up parts available, you simply can’t go wrong with the ‘Busa.

Slide into the big, cozy saddle and it’s apparent how large of a motorcycle it is. From the width of the instrument display to the bubbly shape of the fuel tank and tail section; all of its proportions are more oversized than other sportbikes (with exception of the Ninja ZX-14R). This means it’s a more comfortable mount for taller riders, especially those who stand over six-feet. The controls are more spread out, too, and the brake and clutch levers were designed for persons who dribble basketballs in the NBA. Although the seat height is 0.2 inches higher than the Ninja (31.7 in.) it’s still 0.5 inches shorter than the BMW which makes this 573 pound bike easy to balance at a standstill (11 pounds lighter than the ZX but a whopping 122 pounds heavier than the BMW).

2012 BMW S1000RR Hypersport Comparison

The two-time Superbike Smackdown winner, the BMW S1000RR faces off against the Hypersport competition for ’12. Via its combination of raw muscle, agility and first-rate electronics, the 2012 BMW S1000RR ($15,050 as tested) has proven itself in the production Superbike ranks. A two-time Superbike Smackdown winner, it was only logical that the S1000RR face off against the Hyperbike class. After all it’s all about performance, right?

Swing a leg over it and it’s no surprise that the German bike is considerably smaller and more compact than the green and black models. Where the others feel almost like sport touring machines the S1000RR is a full-on race bike. The tall seat (0.5 inch taller than the Kawi and 0.7 inches taller than the Suzook) footpegs and low position of the handlebars equate to a very aggressive ‘sport’ oriented riding position. READ ON

Ducati Monster 796 vs Harley Davidson 883 vs Suzuki Bandit 1250S

Have you ever lain in bed, arithmetic running riot in your head? I have. It has happened to me regularly. You see, in automotive journalism, there is a catch. You can't own it. Almost always the vehicles you want are not within your reach, and because you drive and ride vehicles far beyond your reach, you can never emotionally accept settling for a vehicle that is actually well within your means. This means you are left calculating what your income is, what you can spare off it, what EMI that becomes and how you will fuel and service the motorcycle. It is probably the same with cars, but I've never thought like this about a car. I just knew I would never be able to buy a Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet from the moment I cast eyes upon her, er, it.
