Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 RR 2014

BMW S 1000 RR 2014

BMW S 1000 RR 2015 buyers are closer than ever to a World Superbike Championship machine and will be able to ride it faster than ever before.

Powerful engine

superior electronics package

superb shift assistant

versatile for track and road use

despite high performance, a bike that is easy to ride.

In the fully equipped version, the price skyrockets

stability is a bit tricky

packages subject to surcharges are put together with a focus on profit maximisation and not with a focus on customer benefits.

Yamaha R1 2012

Yamaha R1 2012

All in all, the R1 is given the thankless role of the comfortable, easy-to-ride sports bike in the 2012 model year. From a pragmatic point of view, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but try explaining that to your mates at the pub table.

Pleasant vibration level

strong engine

precise transmission

high-quality impression

good traction control.

High weight

suspension elements tuned a little too soft

relatively weak braking system.
