BMW S 1000 R 2016

With the BMW S 1000 R, you notice both the close relationship to the S 1000 RR superbike and the endeavour to equip the machine with a high degree of comfort for country roads and everyday use. Accordingly, the 1000cc four-cylinder power unit is brute and yet easily controllable, and the seating position is correspondingly sporty and comfortable. The fact that the S 1000 R is one of the most affordable power naked bikes is surprising and very pleasing, although one must not get hold of the list of optional extras - because thanks to the many irresistible features, it will certainly be more expensive.

The Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR is a prime example of an Italian thoroughbred naked bike with the genes of a genuine superbike world champion motorbike. A powerful V4 engine, brakes to match, transparent front end, supportive electronics, super-sporty design. The Tuono is not for strollers, landscape gazers or rain-mode riders. These people would rather buy a Ferrari.
