Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

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!

Powerful engine

good brakes

comfortable ergonomics

high-priced but high-performance optional extras

simple operation but still very fast

great all-rounder.

Quickshifter good, but not perfect, sound still a bit intrusive

still with vibrations in handlebars

It may well be that the market for 1000cc superbikes is shrinking, and it may also be true that the current price structure reserves this motorbike category for a very elite class. But for those who value the greatest possible acceleration and the highest fun factor, the Suzi is a comparatively good value.

Pleasant, cosy engine

powerful transmission

sporty, comfortable seating

light-footed handling

well-tuned chassis.

Radically close-cut geometries

technically somewhat improvable.
