Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 R 2025

The BMW S 1000 R remains an uncompromising roadster for sporty, ambitious road riders in 2025. With noticeably more power, improved reponsiveness and finely tuned electronics, it is more agile and versatile than ever. Particularly in the lower and medium speed range, it impresses with its powerful acceleration and high rideability. The combination of well-balanced ergonomics, modern design and sophisticated Advanced Rider Assistance Systems makes it an all-round successful package for sporty everyday use - and at a much more attractive price compared to the M 1000 R. Anyone looking for a powerful naked bike with modern technology and distinct riding pleasure will find the S 1000 R an excellent choice.

Powerful acceleration in the low and medium rev range

Finely tuned riding aids, including standard MSR and optimised DTC

Automatic gearshift as standard, now also with improved function

Optional DDC suspension for high ride comfort and sporty precision

Powerful braking performance with ABS Pro, even when leaning

Improved ergonomics thanks to new short-stroke throttle grip

PRO riding modes only optional, not programmable as standard

DDC suspension only available at extra cost

Power somewhat more restrained in the upper rev range

No winglets - slightly less stability at very high speeds

Ducati Streetfighter V2 S 2025

With the new Streetfighter V2, Ducati really has a highlight to offer. Even if the 120 hp might not knock some people's socks off, the new bike scores with its enormous stability and lightness. Thanks to its A2 suitability, it offers not only good access for beginners, but also plenty of riding pleasure for experienced riders. Despite its manageable power, it is particularly well positioned on the road thanks to its well thought-out overall concept. And for all those who like to throw data around at the pub-talk, Ducati has another ace up its sleeve with the new V4 Streetfighter.

Stable riding performance

Good handling

Good ergonomics

Automatic gearshift is sometimes awkward

Exhaust routing to the rear silencer takes some getting used to
