Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR600RR 2012

The new Honda CBR600RR divides minds above all with its idiosyncratic front - and that's a good thing, after all, this makes it perceived as completely new and different from its predecessor. That this is not the case is proven by the rest of the machine, the high-mounted rear silencer, the chassis and the engine are largely unchanged.

Super design

sporty look

powerful engine

pleasant ergonomics

optimal braking system.

The fittings could have been done better - at least in terms of appearance.

BMW S 1000 R 2018

The BMW S 1000 R impresses across the board and is much more than just a naked version of the S 1000 RR. With its own character, more torque in the mid-range and first-class electronics, it sets new standards in the high-performance Naked segment. The overall package of brutal performance, excellent suspension and practical everyday use makes it one of the best naked bikes ever - and at a surprisingly fair price.

Brutal performance with 160 Horsepower

Outstanding DDC suspension

Amazing stability at high speeds for a naked bike

Perfect electronics with sensitive DTC

Good price/performance ratio

Character despite perfection

Driving mode display font too small

Too extreme appearance for BMW traditionalists

Without equipment packages, important electronic features are missing

The price advantage is lost with full features
