Yamaha YZF-R6 2020
It almost seems as if the Yamaha YZF-R6 was born on the race track. It is easy to see that the R6 is the little sister of the YZF-R1. Whether it's the design, the ergonomics, the braking or the electronic aids - the racing genes are everywhere! The R6 is an outstanding piece of engineering in the 600cc class and, depending on your preferences, is probably the best 600cc bike currently available - at least for the racetrack. The Yamaha gives the rider unbelievably high precision and feedback over the front wheel and the chassis, and is super manageable at the same time! The engine is extremely rev-happy, but also wants to be kept happy. It is a pity that the latest version of the R6 has lost some of its power due to Euro 4... Nevertheless, it will be the faster track bike for most of us. And if there is a need, an open exhaust system (without road homologation) and mapping can tickle a few more horsepower out of the super sports bike. Sharp design meets even sharper components - TOP!
Aprilia RS 660 2020
With the RS 660, Aprilia skilfully closes the gap between the small bonsai sports bikes and the mighty superbikes. Thanks to its comfortable seating position and gimmicks such as cruise control, the new Italian mid-range can cope very well with everyday life, but the lively engine and the high-quality chassis with good suspension elements can also be ridden in a really sporty manner. The brakes are somewhere in between and the electronics could not be more comprehensive. Finally, the RS 660 sets new standards in design and refuses to be categorised in any way.
