BMW S 1000 RR 2020

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!

Very linear power delivery, which makes it particularly controllable. Wide rev range and pleasant control

thanks to ShiftCam, there is also plenty of pressure in the lower rev range

excellent DDC - precision and TOP performance

super electronics package

harmonious overall package both on the road and on the racetrack

In part, the bike seems almost a bit "characterless" compared to the Aprilia and Honda

In direct comparison, the bike lags a bit behind on the spec sheet

Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP 2022

Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP 2022

The SC82 was already a hit when it was released in 2020, with the aforementioned minor blemishes that Honda has now successfully eliminated in 2022. A great advantage for road and track. The new Fireblade is thus once again the top performer for both disciplines and will certainly be able to secure a place at the top.

Great engine

Good electronic tuning

Top driveability and feedback

Knee angle very narrow, especially for taller riders
