VOLUME ISSUE FEBRUARY , P87
An ace in the
Yamaha's
adjustability is
the electronic
suspension
compared to the
conventionally
adjustable units
of the Suzuki.
medium- to higher-speed twist-
ies is a nice factor over the
Yamaha.
The Yamaha has a much
nicer feel under brakes from
the front master cylinder com
-
pared to the Suzuki's, which
has a wooden feel that is, un-
fortunately, becoming a bit of
a trait with Suzukis these days.
A new master cylinder would
fix this instantly, but I feel it
shouldn't be something the
customer should have to do; it
should be done for them.
The same is also true of
the lack of heated grips on
the Suzuki. Yes, you can have
them as accessories, but this
is a sport-touring bike, and they
should come as standard fit
-
ment, just like on the Yamaha.
The Yamaha's
much taller screen
(left) angles the
wind right into
the rider's helmet,
which can get
very annoying
after a while.
