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

KTM 1190 RC8 R 2015

KTM 1190 RC8 R 2015

The RC8 from KTM has matured into a good motorbike. Unfortunately, the maturing process has taken a little too long. The engine characteristics are good, the chassis as well and the bike is great to ride both on the country road and on the race track.

Well-tuned suspension elements

fairly agile

acceptable brakes

positive cornering.

Performance could be higher

primarily designed for country roads.
