Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2020

The bike has taken much of its sporty roots from the Panigale. This will delight friends of the streetfighter. Electronics and engine power are superior, the chassis is radically fast and the machine rules in stopwatch duels. However, it has rough edges. The big surprise: you sit well on the noble beast and can actually ride it on extended tours!

Electronics package at the absolute top level

High-revving and brutally powerful engine

Very agile handling

Surprisingly comfortable seating position even for tall riders

Powerful brakes

Sporty, high-quality chassis

Great aerodynamics - stable wind conditions even in the saddle

Looks to die for

For fear in the saddle, revs are necessary - no steam hammer from the basement

In city traffic and everyday life somewhat rough engine response

Tippy handling at low speeds

Strongly changing engine noise - depending on speed and flap position.

Yamaha R1 2009

Of course, the new R1 engine also passed all the tough Yamaha stress tests and comes with the same guarantees as other Yamaha motorbikes. Because until now, it was precisely the issues of durability and reliability that prevented series production of such an engine.

Sophisticated sound

good feeling for power delivery

easy handling

hydraulic spring preload

high level of workmanship.

Suboptimal seating position

somewhat difficult cornering over long distances.
