Ducati Panigale V2 2020

Ducati Panigale V2 2020

For us, the Panigale V2 is the ultimate road super sports bike. Sophisticated electronic assistance systems that leave nothing to be desired, Ducati's fun 955 cm³ two-cylinder Superquadro engine that generates more than enough power for the road with 155 hp, a great seating position and a high degree of controllability. All of this characterises the Panigale V2 and for this reason it is probably "the" country road supersports bike for us at the moment, but it also cuts a good figure on the racetrack. The Panigale V2 should appeal above all to pilots for whom 200 hp rockets are a bit too much, and to all those who have also been enchanted by this work of art on two wheels.

Beautiful and noble design - ensures many open mouths!

Outstanding electronics package ensures a lot of safety and fun in traffic

Engine, ergonomics & electronics make the machine incredibly "experienceable"!

A real insider tip for supersport beginners and returners

Just the right measure of many things, engine power, chassis, ergonomics.

Compared to other engines of this size, it would still have been nice to have one/two more horses, but there are no really comparable current alternatives to the V2

"Only" in Race mode does it show its true potential

BMW S 1000 RR 2019

BMW S 1000 RR 2019

The new 2019 BMW S 1000 RR is a completely new supersports bike. It has become significantly more compact and, above all, lighter. The machine is incredibly easy to control and, compared to the previous model, almost feels like a 600! The seating position and the entire set-up of the machine have become much sportier, but can be brought to the tarmac in a much more user-friendly way thanks to the significantly improved electronics package, the saved weight and, last but not least, the almost linear power delivery of the power unit - bravo! Unfortunately, there is still one downer: if you want to benefit from the innovations to the maximum, you have to put a maximum number of crosses in the dealer's box. In return, however, you can create your own individual BMW!

Very linear power delivery, which makes it much more controllable and certainly faster for most riders. Wide rev range and pleasant dosing...

The new DDC of the RR works even more precisely and offers you TOP performance

Super electronics package

Excellent shift assistant

More active, i.e. sportier, seating position

High-quality details such as frame, swingarm and display make the heart beat faster

... Unfortunately, the machine has lost a certain amount of "thrill" due to the linear power delivery

the new S 1000 RR is almost "too perfect"

menu navigation takes some time to get used to
