Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW M 1000 R 2026

The BMW M 1000 R is an uncompromising performance bike for ambitious riders who want to combine the adrenaline rush of a superbike with the agility of a naked bike. With the high-revving engine from the S 1000 RR, the finest electronics and extensive adjustability, it offers impressive performance on the race track as well as on fast country roads. However, its uncompromising character demands a lot from the rider - especially at the limits. If you are looking for a precise, powerful and customisable power naked, the M 1000 R is a genuine high-end bike with racing DNA.

Extremely powerful high-revving engine with 210 Horsepower

Finely adjustable electronics with numerous PRO riding modes as standard

Short-stroke throttle grip and slide control for precise driving at the limit

DDC suspension with high race track performance as standard

Winglets for better directional stability and fewer wheelies at top speed

M-specific brake system with high stability and controllability

High power range can only be utilised at over 9,000 rpm

Front wheel tends to shake under heavy acceleration - requires experience

Very sporty setup - almost too uncompromising for pure road use

Yamaha R1 2024

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is mature and makes countless racetrack pilots happy. The engine shines with lightness and agility, the seating position surprises positively and the handling is radical but still "suitable for the masses". The machine immediately stands out visually and also because of the heart-warming sound. Especially on the country road, the bike scores with its well-known strengths: great engine, great electronics, great package! A real pleasure to ride!
