Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP 2022

The SC82 was already a hit when it was released in 2020, with the aforementioned minor blemishes that Honda has now successfully eliminated in 2022. A great advantage for road and track. The new Fireblade is thus once again the top performer for both disciplines and will certainly be able to secure a place at the top.

Great engine

Good electronic tuning

Top driveability and feedback

Knee angle very narrow, especially for taller riders

BMW M 1000 RR 2025

The perfected supersport icon The BMW M 1000 RR is a technical masterpiece with 217 Horsepower, which paradoxically becomes a problem due to its perfection. Suitable for trackdays as standard with outstanding electronics and neutral riding dynamics, but difficult to customise. A supersports car that is surprisingly accessible to drive, but whose absolute perfection poses a dilemma for tuning enthusiasts: Do I buy the expensive, perfect M version or the cheaper S 1000 RR to customise myself? Ideal for purists, problematic for individualists.
