Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2005
Tough guys who want to pass for 1000cc riders at the regulars' table as conquerors of a beast should not go for the CBR. The Fireblade is not too much for a 600cc beginner. You can approach your personal limit amazingly safely. In fact, this is the Fireblade's greatest asset compared to the other 1000s on the market.
Yamaha R1 2015
The new R1 is a big hit and no longer compares to the previous model. This was considered a good country road bike and heavy investments had to be made for excursions to the race track. Now it is the other way round. The new R1 has been developed with a clear focus on the race track. The electronics package seems outstanding, technology freaks will get their money's worth. Yamaha fans have to buy it, they finally have a worthy motorbike. The R1 has slight weaknesses when braking - it becomes a little unstable here. If you want to buy a ready-made racing bike without having to work on the chassis, you'd better go for the R1M. The Öhlins electronic suspension works perfectly and has no weaknesses. For pure racetrack use, the second weakness of the R1 can easily be ironed out. The torque hole in the middle can be easily ironed out with a new mapping.
