Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Aprilia RSV 4 R 2010
The RSV4 is fun. In the saddle there is a real racing feeling and no 1000cc bike steers as quickly as the RSV4 when entering a corner. In terms of sportiness, handling and engine characteristics, the RSV4 Factory received nothing but praise from all test riders. However, the radical overall concept has two major disadvantages: the seating position on long stretches of road and the slightly unstable rear end.
Yamaha R1 2016
Yamaha's high-tech rocket is still a technological leader in 2016. Radical, polarising and fascinating, it sets powerful lap times. It is closer to the race bikes than the other 1000s. In the meantime, no one grumbles about the front. Without the "M", it is the best choice for those who don't need Öhlins anyway, or the best choice for those who are planning a racetrack conversion anyway and like to install "normal" Öhlins hardware without electric stuff.
