As the only Inline four-cylinder machines on the MotoGP grid, the Suzuki GSX-RR and Yamaha M1 are often grouped toget𝐆her as similar machines in terms🌠 of riding style and technical strengths.

But that's not an opi💧nion shared by Suzuki's reigning world champion Joan Mir, at least when looking at the M1 from the outside.

"Woah! Difficult question to answer because I only see from the outside and the results," Mir replied, when aಞsked to compare the two machines.

"I think that the bikes are not really simila🍨r. It’s true that they both have the Inline-4 engine, but the character is quite different.

"You see the Yamahas riding in a d🍌ifferent way to the Suzukis. The Suzukis are more aggressive. You have more movement. The Yamaha looks more smooth.

"It’s only from what I can see, but I think the Suzuki is a bit more aggressive than the Yamahꦰa."

Yamaha has won five of the nine races so far this season (four for title leader Fabio Quartararo and one for Maverick Vinales), with the V4-powered bikes of Jack Miller (Ducati), Miguel Oliveira (KTM) and Marc Marquez (Honda) victo🌄rious in the other four events.

Mir and Suzuki are yet to win a 2021 race, but the Spaniard has made three podium appearances for foꦰurth place in the standings𒉰 heading into the summer break.
