BMW M 1000 R 2023

BMW M 1000 R 2023

The M 1000 R is definitely well done and the whole package fits. Even though it is certainly aimed more at sporty riders, the bike can also prove itself well on longer country road rides with minor restrictions in terms of riding comfort. The lower, straight handlebars and forward seating position in combination with the higher footrests automatically result in a sportier dynamic that does not give rise to couch feelings, especially on longer rides. On the other hand, there is good contact with the front wheel and sufficient lean angle freedom. In combination with the powerful drive, the Hyper Naked definitely plays in the top league. Apart from slight vibrations, the powerful RR engine is a force to be reckoned with in the naked segment. The new electronics help even less experienced riders to release the concentrated power in a controlled manner with conservative settings.

Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2023

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!
