BMW S 1000 RR 2020

BMW S 1000 RR 2020

A real "all-rounder" superbike. The BMW knows how to play to its strengths both on the race track and on the country road. Thanks to variable camshaft control, the powerful engine is already convincing at the bottom end and accelerates harmoniously across the entire rev range, with plenty of power in every range. For the hobby pilot, the chassis certainly functions excellently in every situation, provides transparent feedback and offers many adjustment options. The seating position is sporty yet relatively comfortable. The electronics work very harmoniously without patronising the rider - TOP!

Very linear power delivery, which makes it particularly controllable. Wide rev range and pleasant control

thanks to ShiftCam, there is also plenty of pressure in the lower rev range

excellent DDC - precision and TOP performance

super electronics package

harmonious overall package both on the road and on the racetrack

In part, the bike seems almost a bit "characterless" compared to the Aprilia and Honda

In direct comparison, the bike lags a bit behind on the spec sheet

Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE 2022

Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE 2022

The Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE is certainly one of the nippiest touring motorbikes on the market. But is it also one of the best tourers? The lush equipment and electronics of Kawasaki's technological flagship offer comfort, stability and function flawlessly. You have to know how to deal with the powerful engine and somewhat sluggish turn-in behaviour, but then the Ninja H2 SX SE is fun to ride even in tight corners. Finally, the ergonomics determine whether the bike is suitable for travelling. Here, everyone has to decide for himself or herself whether he or she is comfortable with the very sporty stance. If so, the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE is a formidable touring machine that cuts a fine figure from the motorway to the Alpine pass.
