Suzuki 150 horses (@11k RPM), BMW 170 horses (@11k RPM), Kawi 120 horses (@ 9k RPM). HP doesn't mean much at this level - you will not likely to feel the difference between Suzuki and BMW. I have not ridden Suzuki yet, but rode both BMW and Kawi. I find Kawi butter smooth when it comes to power delivery. These bikes are not built for track, but for comfort and rideability over a long distance. Due to Japanese Ministry of Transportation mandate all Japanese manufacturer, both Suzuki and Kawi, have limit on exhaust on its engine which are much more strict than European or North American counterpart - so if you flash ECU, you will get about 10~15% boost on its horses with a proper mapping with exhaust modification.

Hello MotoBob. I watch almost every video, and you always say that you will tell us everything we should know about the relevant bike. Well if so, many viewers are eager to know, not just that there are options for a lower seat position, but what exactly are these options - the exact centimeters of the seat height with a lower seat or a lower suspension kit. Seat height is not just another detail. For many riders (I think - about 30%-40% of riders) it is a deal breaker versus a deal maker! Thanks :)

The XR has always been the 2-wheeled X5M to me, but now that the M1000XR is out, I suppose the regular XR has been demoted to BMW’s “M- lite” mid tier model. So sad, I feel bad for the guy haha. Anyways, configuring the new model in that Galaxy blue scheme with the carbon side panels to me is drop dead stunning. What the hell would I do with 200hp, 170 is way more than I need on any sort of highway cruising on tours. My only real issue is that my understanding is that any of the BMW 1000cc bikes have that dreaded flat spot in the midrange and need tuning out. That’s effectively adding another 1k to the price of a bike in my mind, which should’ve come from the factory as. Or is it just with the RR models?
