Suzuki TL1000S and GSX-R750 comparison test, published in Bike #7/1997, Sweden (six pages). Click to enlarge. One of the test riders liked the GSX-R better, mainly thanks to its better curve taking abilities on the race track, the other test rider prefered the TL1000S more useful engine, despite of the technical problems with the test bike.

Suzuki TL1000S road test, published in Performance Bikes, UK, February 1997 (eight pages). Click to enlarge. ”Is the TL1000 a Japanese Ducati? No way, thank God” sums the test rider up his long and enjoyable article, comparing the new TL1000S with the Ducati 916 (for obvious reasons). According to him the Ducati looks more stylish and feels more aggressive but is much less reliable and far more expensive than the TL1000S, to name just a few of the differencies. Just read the article and enjoy!
