Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2015
The Panigale 1299 S is a clear step forward from the old Panigale. Ducati fans who were not entirely satisfied with the previous model may now find their great love in the new machine. The many changes to the bike have made it stronger, faster and also a little more manoeuvrable. Fast and experienced riders who love 2-cylinders have no other choice anyway and will be happy. Traction control, engine electronics to control the engine brake and of course the electronic suspension from Öhlins are really good stuff. But even the new Panigale is not a motorbike with which not so nimble riders will find good times virtually on their own, like in the saddle of a BMW, for example. The Ducati has its own character, which not everyone likes, but which enchants Ducatisti to some extent.
Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP 2017
Honda has achieved a real feat with the Fireblade. A good motorbike has become better without sacrificing the popular virtues. The bike shines with perfection in terms of chassis setup and overall package. The Fireblade SP is a worthy upgrade to an already fantastic motorbike. The titanium tank makes it clear how serious Honda was. The Öhlins electronic suspension is of high quality and inspires with a radically refreshing new approach. Suspension set-up no longer has to be a compromise.
