Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2025

Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2025

The high-quality suspension elements with the semi-active Öhlins suspension, the Brembo system with Brembo brake cylinder, the top-class quickshifter and the magnificent engine installed in the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS make it a bike that bears the name "RS" not for marketing reasons, but because it has earned it. The only thing that bothered me was the lack of wind protection, because anyone who has ridden over 200 km on a naked bike knows how exhausting it is, even if you make yourself as small as possible. So if you plan to ride it on the race track more often, you could invest in some form of wind protection. All in all, it's a fantastic all-rounder bike that has proven its worth on the race track. On the one hand, it's an outstandingly fun country road bike thanks to its agility and torque. On the other hand, thanks to its top performance, premium equipment and stability, it is a sharp weapon on the race track that has nothing to hide from any super sports bike.

BMW S 1000 R 2021

BMW S 1000 R 2021

It's really impressive how BMW always manages to make good motorbikes even better. The sporty S 1000 R with M package and carbon rims looks a bit threatening at first. But even in 2021, the S 1000 R serves up high-tech and performance in a grandiose, usable dosage. The machine rides precisely, handles well but is not tippy. The engine fires out of the corners, but does not overtax. A damn fast motorbike!

Powerful engine

good brakes

comfortable ergonomics

high-priced but high-performance optional extras

simple operation but still very fast

great all-rounder.

Quickshifter good, but not perfect, sound still a bit intrusive

still with vibrations in handlebars
