BMW R 1200 RT 2015

It was predictable that the new R 1200 RT would perform even better with the new partially water-cooled boxer engine. Although 125 hp and 125 Newton metres of torque have quite a bit to haul with the 274 kilos ready to ride, the RT retains its unbelievable effervescence from below. This makes it extremely agile, especially on corner exit after a hairpin bend. In combination with the gearshift assistant Pro (which is, of course, available at extra cost), the gears just flow and you involuntarily move more sportily than you might have intended. The big bonus points of the R 1200 RT are its good workmanship, the simple and easy-to-follow operating principle and, last but not least, its small turning circle.

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2007

Suzuki does not do things by halves and takes first place here. But much more important is the acceleration out of the bend. 185 hp or not. In the past, the GSX-R had an advantage here because of its longer-stroke engine. This has not changed in 2007.

Optimum power curve

three mappings

good gearbox

massive power

peak power

anti-hopping clutch

electronic steering damper.
