Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati 1199 Panigale 2012

Since 2012, the 1199 Panigale has been an absolutely trend-setting concept that I believe will follow in the footsteps of the legendary 916.

Nervous driving behaviour

Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP 2020

The fans demanded it and Honda delivered: The new CBR1000RR Fireblade SP is the sportiest Blade ever. For the first time, it now has a clear focus on the race track. Many of its strengths, such as the wonderfully stable and direct handling or the braking performance, can of course also be exploited on the country road. But especially in the engine chapter, Honda took a clear path: no compromises, power and lap time come first. This is reflected above all in the fact that below 6000 revs, the power output is rather meagre, which in turn is not quite optimal on the country road. But if that doesn't bother you, you'll be happy with the new Fireblade. Honda took no risks and simply brought the best partners on board for the SP: Akrapovic, Öhlins and Brembo were the congenial partners of the Honda crew. Of course, all these components also have a corresponding price tag.

Incredibly powerful powerplant

super-sporty geometry yet good ergonomics

state-of-the-art electronics package

super crisp feedback from all components

transparent and powerful braking point

electronically adjustable Öhlins suspension.

the engine's transmission and power delivery are primarily designed for the racetrack, not much happens up to around 6000 revs

no cruise control
