Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 RR 2015
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.
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.
