Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati 1199 Panigale S 2012

Panigale buyers will certainly have a lot of fun with the Ducati, but at the beginning of the season a lot of work has to be put into a functioning setup. On the track, we are sure that with enough know-how in the backpack, the Panigale will be able to show its full potential and the lap times will be pushed to a new level.

Plenty of power

quality traction point

great ABS

electronically adjustable suspension

light weight

immaculate brakes.

Very high purchase price.

BMW K 1600 GT 2015

Extremely cultivated straight-six engine with huge torque and plenty of power - but without any willingness to use force, simply a power unit of the highest sovereignty. Agile and nimble despite a live weight of 339 kg (fully fuelled). With Dynamic ESA, DTC, ABS Pro and shift assist, it is sporty and safe to drive.

Pleasant, completely relaxed seating position

excellent electronics from traction control to semi-active suspension

ABS Pro

shift assistant

much sportier to drive than the dimensions suggest.

Cockpit already looks a little outdated in contrast to the built-in technology
