BMW S 1000 R 2021

BMW S 1000 R 2021

It's really impressive how BMW always manages to make good motorbikes even better. The sporty S 1000 R with M package and carbon rims looks a bit threatening at first. But even in 2021, the S 1000 R serves up high-tech and performance in a grandiose, usable dosage. The machine rides precisely, handles well but is not tippy. The engine fires out of the corners, but does not overtax. A damn fast motorbike!

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!
