BMW S 1000 R 2025

BMW S 1000 R 2025

The BMW S 1000 R will remain an uncompromising roadster for sporty, ambitious road riders in 2025. The BMW S 1000 R 2025 is not a bike for posers or warmists. It is a technical statement - crystal clear, precise and mercilessly efficient. Anyone who thinks naked bikes are tame all-rounders will be proven wrong here. If you are looking for a powerful naked bike with modern technology and distinct riding pleasure, the S 1000 R is an excellent choice.

Ducati Panigale V4 2021

Ducati Panigale V4 2021

The conclusion is very easy for me. Ducati has made an "already almost perfect motorbike" even better without changing anything in a negative way. Although riding on the road with this radical fairing probably causes a stir and one or two riders find it uncomfortable, they obviously feel more comfortable with it on the race track. You get a motorbike "out of the box" that resembles a Superbike World Championship bike more than ever. I also believe that the V4 2018 owner is quite capable of improving his lap times with the 2020 version. My tip: if you take care to enlarge the tank or make it more grippy, you could go over the centre even more with your hull.

Clever electronics

Noticeable upgrade to last year's model

More accessible than ever before

Tank is too small from an ergonomic point of view

straight-line driving from 250km/h in the wet
