Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 RR 2020
A real "all-rounder" superbike. The BMW knows how to play to its strengths both on the race track and on the country road. Thanks to variable camshaft control, the powerful engine is already convincing at the bottom end and accelerates harmoniously across the entire rev range, with plenty of power in every range. For the hobby pilot, the chassis certainly functions excellently in every situation, provides transparent feedback and offers many adjustment options. The seating position is sporty yet relatively comfortable. The electronics work very harmoniously without patronising the rider - TOP!
Yamaha R1 2011
Once upon a time, she was the toughest beast among the 1000s. Only the wildest dogs could ride it. Now it is the motorbike that can not only be described as "the least evil on the country road" but which also gives a lot of pleasure there.
