Yamaha R1M 2018

Yamaha R1M 2018

Riding the 2018 Yamaha YZF-R1M, you're amazed that there's such a wide range of sports bikes out there. This one is perfect! Who needs an alternative? After 3 years and numerous improvements, the R1M has reached that level of maturity that makes it a truly great choice. The spotlight is on another supersport bike in 2018. But the R1M is more mature.

High-quality hardware components for the chassis

easy-to-use electronic high-tech suspension of the latest generation from Öhlins, finished racing machine but still road-legal

Very limited number of units available

front brake discs not fully floating - makes problems with sharp pads in racing

Ducati Panigale V4 S 2018

Ducati Panigale V4 S 2018

The S version, on the other hand, is recommended for both road and racing riders. If the bike is ridden more ambitiously by a racer on the race track, the suspension will maintain its performance longer than with the basic version, whereby a slight adjustment of the front spring rate (for racers) is recommended. The lighter wheels have a noticeable effect on the handling. It is unbelievable to what a high level of innovation and technology in motorbike construction this bike has been raised. I have never experienced electronics that respond so sensitively.

Dreambike image par excellence

Excellent brakes

Pleasant seating position even for taller riders

Enormous lean angle potential

Leading electronics package

Impressive engine power that is, however, finely controllable

Fast riders and hobby riders alike can make good use of the machine's potential within the scope of their possibilities

Ingenious handling - the bike is always finished with the bend early and is ready for acceleration.

Seat warms up noticeably. Nice in winter, definitely uncomfortable in summer

seat-tank combination is comfortable, but offers little grip in the braking zone

stability at the limit. Caution with tuning measures and discipline with seat position on fast and bumpy sections necessary.
