Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 RR 2019
The new 2019 BMW S 1000 RR is a completely new supersports bike. It has become significantly more compact and, above all, lighter. The machine is incredibly easy to control and, compared to the previous model, almost feels like a 600! The seating position and the entire set-up of the machine have become much sportier, but can be brought to the tarmac in a much more user-friendly way thanks to the significantly improved electronics package, the saved weight and, last but not least, the almost linear power delivery of the power unit - bravo! Unfortunately, there is still one downer: if you want to benefit from the innovations to the maximum, you have to put a maximum number of crosses in the dealer's box. In return, however, you can create your own individual BMW!
Aprilia RSV4 RR 2016
The Aprilia stands out from the crowd with its sonorous V4 sound, sounding more like a two-cylinder than a screaming in-line four. You immediately feel at home on the RSV4 RR and can immediately ride at decent lean angles without having to feel your way around. In terms of handling, it is very pleasant, even though you are sitting quite high up on it. It is a little too compact for tall riders. Compared to its predecessor, it is easier to ride, but at the same time much stronger and faster. It scores points especially on corner entry with great feedback from the front wheel.
