Ducati Streetfighter V4 SP 2022

In summary, Ducati's SP meets the exact specifications of a racetrack-oriented streetfighter that can still be used well on the road, but can unfold its advantages especially on the racetrack, where it noticeably outperforms the V4S. So if you want to put an SP in your garage, you'd better be quick, because there will only be a small number of them!

BMW S 1000 R 2022

The seating position is sporty, but by no means uncomfortable, the brakes are powerful and the engine of the S 1000 R is at its best - perhaps even a little too homogeneous. There is also nothing to complain about on the riding side. Based on the pure performance data and the installed electronic features, the BMW probably has what it takes for the fastest lap time. And that on any kind of surface, because with the semi-active suspension you can eat up kilometre after kilometre on bad roads littered with potholes. Unfortunately, this feeling of superiority never really spilled over to the driver. Probably the downside of too much balance in all areas - at least in my Italophile eyes. The BMW lacked that certain something, the charisma, which is difficult to explain but arouses genuine emotions.
