Ducati Panigale V4 2019

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.
Yamaha R1 2018

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is closer to a racing machine than ever before. The engine shines with lightness and agility. The seating position surprises positively and the handling is radical but still "suitable for the masses". The machine immediately stands out visually and also due to the heart-warming sound and is now 20 years after the first R1 the biggest milestone in R1 history.
