Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP 2016

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP 2016

The Honda CBR 1000 RR Fireblade SP may be a 1000cc bike, but it never looks threatening. It feels compact, inspires confidence and offers a lot of riding fun. A combination that not many motorbikes can manage. It is sensational on the country road, and great for trackdays on the race track. However, the road to a real racing machine is probably a little longer than with another 1000cc.

Low weight that you can also feel in the saddle

compact but not uncomfortable riding position

high-quality workmanship

sensible electronics package

easy and intuitive to move.

ABS first bottleneck on the race track

not suitable for racing applications

Ducati Panigale V4 2018

Ducati Panigale V4 2018

The Panigale has become much more accessible in the 2018 V4 version than before. The engine, in combination with the electronics package, is still not as flawless and sterile as an inline four, but in practice it is a real blessing for Ducatisti - and a positive surprise for riders of other brands. The Panigale V4 also surprised with tolerable riding comfort on the country road and a pleasant level of stability. Progress here was clearly in the right direction. The new V4 is stronger and faster but also easier and more pleasant to ride.

Powerful engine with charisma and great manners

Pleasant upper body position (compared to other supersport bikes)

In the V4 sufficiently dimensioned chassis for the country road

Powerful but not intrusive sound

Good wind protection

Seat gets warm especially in city traffic

engine / clutch seems a little rough in tight hairpin bends.
