Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 RR 2014

BMW S 1000 RR 2015 buyers are closer than ever to a World Superbike Championship machine and will be able to ride it faster than ever before.

Powerful engine

superior electronics package

superb shift assistant

versatile for track and road use

despite high performance, a bike that is easy to ride.

In the fully equipped version, the price skyrockets

stability is a bit tricky

packages subject to surcharges are put together with a focus on profit maximisation and not with a focus on customer benefits.

Yamaha R7 2023

All in all, the R7 is a very good beginner's track bike that prepared me for track riding in a safe, pleasant and in no way strenuous way and accompanied me along the way. The pleasant yet track-ready ergonomics, the light weight, the fantastic tyres, brakes and suspension components and the torquey engine at low and medium revs allowed me to correct mistakes that most novice track riders make, and all without bringing me down, scaring me, scaring me or even making me throw in the towel.
