Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2022

Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2022

The problem of the Streetfighter V4 S with Euro4 engine, namely no power in the lower rev range but explosion in the upper rev range, has been largely rectified with the update to Euro5. Although the disgusting 208 hp are still only available at 13,000 rpm, the SF V4 S is now also acceptable at lower revs. Ergonomics and handling are still good, and the electronic Öhlins suspension is at its best. The brute Brembo Stylema stoppers again celebrate the penchant for the racetrack. A perfect poser bike that now also works on the country road, and on the racetrack anyway. Only the all-too-loud sound should be curbed a little.

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2023

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2023

Triumph has created an incredibly good all-rounder with the new Speed Triple 1200 RS. The engine can be moved very comfortably at low revs. The vehicle is very accessible when needed and inspires confidence. However, anyone who puts the spurs to the compact-looking motorbike reaps cruel acceleration and hard braking. The chassis is quite tight overall - as a result, it loses a little of its accessibility.

Incredibly universal - easy to drive in city traffic but also super fast when needed

Rev-happy and powerful engine

Can be driven quietly when needed

Light and compact ride

Stable handling even in fast corners

Strong brakes

Precise handling

Beautiful details

Timeless elegance.

Load change reactions at low speeds
