BMW S 1000 RR 2016

BMW S 1000 RR 2016

The S 1000 RR is the universal talent among the superbikes - you sit on it and feel comfortable straight away. Although it seems a bit nervous in comparison in terms of chassis and stability. However, it converts this into pleasantly easy handling and impresses with its enormous engine power. The front wheel is indeed particularly light and has to be calmed by the steering damper. An incredibly sporty and at the same time comfortable feature is the shift assistant for upshifting and downshifting - this brings calm to the chassis and you can fully concentrate on driving.

Very powerful engine

comfortable seating position

excellent shift assistant

somewhat sluggish in curves

The mere fact that the Kawa Ninja ZX-4RR with its high-revving Inline four-cylinder engine in bonsai format has no real competition makes it absolutely unique. The engine is also the absolute flagship, with a rev limit at 16,000 touring you'll be addicted to wind out a gear! The suspension, brakes and electronics are of a high height, but what is more surprising is that, despite all the sportiness, the bike is still very suitable for everyday use - the seating position is not as radical as on other supersports bikes.

Fun in-line four-cylinder

precise quickshifter with blipper

balanced handling

sporty and pleasant ergonomics

comprehensive electronics package

Engine needs to be kept happy

looks confusing with other Kawasakis
