Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1M 2015

The Yamaha R1M is a high-priced motorbike. But you don't pay the extra price for worthless bells and whistles, but for a high-quality racing chassis and other tasty details. The R1M is a good choice for those riders who always upgrade their bikes with tuned suspension anyway. In practice, the R1M rides superbly and the ERS system from Öhlins seems tailor-made for it.

High-quality hardware components for the chassis

easy-to-use electronic high-tech suspension from Öhlins

finished racing machine but still road legal

Very limited number of units available

quickshifter only supports upshifting

BMW M 1000 RR 2021

The price of the M1000RR is only shocking at first glance. In the saddle, you are more shocked by the power and braking performance. The machine is a fully tuned racing bike straight from the BMW factory. Those who don't like to screw but still like to race will be happy with it. A noble and practical superbike!

Smooth overall package

strong brakes

precise chassis

noble details are a joy to behold in the paddock

great responsiveness

rev-happy engine

great torque curve

harmonious transition from load to push mode

Price package not customer-friendly but sales-friendly

footrests could do with more grip on the track

higher and harder seat option desirable
