Pros and Cons in comparison

Ducati SuperSport S 2017

The Ducati Supersport S is the choice if you want to go to the race track more often. The fully adjustable Öhlins suspension is not only a visual hit, but also does its job superbly. The built-in quickshifter with blipper function is also a must-have. Even inexperienced race track riders will quickly feel at home on the Supersport S and have a lot of fun with it.

BMW S 1000 RR 2025

For me, the most noticeable of all the innovations were the electronics and the steering geometry. Thanks to the additional information of the new steering angle sensor and the revised riding aids, the new S1000RR now has an electronic package with which you can not only ride safely, but also quickly, which will especially please the faster faction. But with a few additional features such as Slide Control, the average rider also has the opportunity to try out the riding style of the pros without risk, in order to cut a good figure in riding photos. And apart from that, it's also fun. The new steering geometry brings a little more calmness to the front and improves feedback, which is an invaluable advantage, especially at the limits. So the next round in the hunt for the best superbike is reopened.

Very good electronics or control systems

Good feedback
