Pros and Cons in comparison

Buell Lightning XB 12 SX 2010

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

BMW S 1000 R 2014

Brutal power, smooth, almost perfect, electronics, it only gets better with the HP4. Now BMW dominates the 1000cc naked bike class after the superbikes.

Sporty chassis

extreme power and performance

very good electronic helpers

terrific price/performance ratio

fast and comfortable on the racetrack and on country roads.

Slightly rough engine running

DDC works well, but still rather on the "hard" side overall

seat relatively high

tempts to overdrive

design a matter of taste.
