Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 RR 2013

BMW S 1000 RR 2013

The BMW can still score points with hard facts in 2015. If you like top performance, you have to buy the BMW. It turns out incredibly powerful at the top and drives away the rest of the field from 200. Big and heavy riders will be able to benefit from this even more. BMW didn't make it easy for themselves with this bike and put together a very universal motorbike. If you were to do a comparison test with 50 different riders (from rookie to pro), the BMW would have the best average of all 1000cc bikes. The electronic chassis, but also the riding aids, make the pros fast and the beginners safe on the road. A top recommendation for a very broad target group. Very fast hobby riders will not be 100% satisfied with the standard suspension. If you don't want to modify the chassis, you should rather go for an R1M, a Panigale S or an RSV RF. If you want to convert anyway, the S 1000 RR is the strongest and most universal base. Surprisingly, the powerful machine also rides very well on country roads. All in all, it looks like a compromise, but it never feels like one in practice.

Superb shift assistant

incredibly powerful and rev-happy engine

great range of accessories

race-ready data logging tool and calibration tool available.

Chassis quickly at the limit in the hands of professionals

Aprilia RSV4 RR 2015

Aprilia RSV4 RR 2015

The Aprilia has been perfected for the 2015 model year. It is easier to ride, but at the same time significantly stronger and faster. It scores points especially on corner entry with great feedback from the front wheel, terrific handling and lots of grip. The V4 enchants with its gripping sound and buttery response.

still great looks that appeal to everyone but are never mainstream

compact V4 engine in a sophisticated chassis = great handling

great engine tuning including well-designed engine brake control

great traction control with practical fine-tuning at the left-hand end of the handlebars.

Stability at high speeds "at the limit" - be careful when making changes to the chassis or tyres
