Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2015
The Panigale 1299 S is a clear improvement on the old Panigale. Ducati fans who were not entirely satisfied with the previous model could now find their great love in the new machine. The many changes to the bike have made it stronger, faster and also a little more manoeuvrable. Fast and experienced riders who love 2-cylinder bikes have no other choice anyway and will be happy. Traction control, engine electronics to control the engine brake and of course the electronic suspension from Öhlins are really good stuff. But even the new Panigale is not a bike on which riders who are not as fast as a B, for example, will find good times on their own. The Ducati has its own character, which not everyone likes, but which sometimes enchants Ducatisti.
Aprilia RSV4 RF 2020
The Aprilia RSV4 RF is a compact power rocket that requires an expert hand to make perfect use of its strengths. It tends to get bumpy at the front when accelerating, which can be managed with the right weight shift and looseness on the handlebars. Brutal acceleration in front of an impressive sound backdrop (with Akrapovic exhaust) meets hard deceleration in the braking zone thanks to grown 330 discs. On the entry, the RSV stabs precisely into the radius and reacts almost like a 600cc in bends. The numerous electronic riding aids demand some occupation and attention as to which settings one has just saved.
