Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 R 2023
The seating position is sporty, but by no means uncomfortable, the brakes are powerful and the engine of the S 1000 R is at its best - perhaps even a little too homogeneous. There is also nothing to complain about on the riding side. Based on the pure performance data and the installed electronic features, the BMW probably has what it takes for the fastest lap time. And that on any kind of surface, because with the semi-active suspension you can eat up kilometre after kilometre on bad roads littered with potholes. Unfortunately, this feeling of superiority never really spilled over to the driver. Probably the downside of too much balance in all areas - at least in my Italophile eyes. The BMW lacked that certain something, the charisma, which is difficult to explain but arouses genuine emotions.
Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2023
Ducati has managed to improve the performance of the Streetfighter V4 S with specific changes. Even though the performance data have not changed, the rideability has been decisively improved. The big changes could not be expected on a bike that was already performing at the highest level - there is hardly anything to complain about on the current hyper-naked bikes anyway. When it comes to the sound, the engineers have overshot the mark. Regardless of whether the bike is at idle or in driving mode, the Streetfighter V4 S is simply too loud. Especially on fast tracks, the wind pressure pushes the helmet against the nose and tenses the neck muscles enormously, but that's the price you have to pay if you want to ride a naked bike, just as you have to reckon with darkness at night!
