BMW M 1000 RR 2023

BMW M 1000 RR: The perfected supersport icon The BMW M 1000 RR is the quintessence of a supersports bike. It is as sharp as a razor, with a stability and precision that will amaze even the most experienced riders. Direct from the showroom to the race track, without having to spend a single cent on additional modifications - this is pure perfection. Every bend, every braking manoeuvre, every acceleration is a testament to German engineering. On the straights, it pulls away like a jet, and every movement feels as precise as if you were operating a surgical instrument.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2014

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2014

The ZX-10R was right in the middle during the test. It was not as fast and radical as the R1, Panigale, BMW and Aprilia. But it was also sportier than the Honda and Suzuki. While Honda and Suzuki would need completely new bikes to catch up with the top, Kawasaki would only have to give the ZX-10R a small update. But satisfied ZX-10R riders need not despair. The gap to the top is small enough to catch up with a few accessories. Because the ZX-10R has one decisive advantage. It has been on the market for a long time and there are enough parts available, including the necessary setup information. If you don't want to get involved in any experiments, take a Kawasaki and with a few simple steps you will also be at the top.

Great basis for racing bike

strong engine in the upper rev range

good chassis

Gear ratio too long

engine with little power in the lower rev range

traction control cannot keep up with the systems of the top bikes
