Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 R 2020

The BMW F 900 R offers easy-to-use cornering fun, enormously high stability, an active yet comfortable riding position and a smooth but also unemotional engine. Those who like it fast and twisty will be happy with it. The possibilities for configuration are almost endless but of course not free of charge.

easy handling, high stability

chassis with fine response

well-behaved engine

brakes without blame

active yet bearable seating position

infinitely long list of accessories.

Small tank (13l)

Good engine

Ducati SuperSport S 2017

The Ducati Supersport S is the choice if you want to go to the race track more often. The fully adjustable Öhlins suspension is not only a visual hit, but also does its job superbly. The built-in quickshifter with blipper function is also a must-have. Even inexperienced race track riders will quickly feel at home on the Supersport S and have a lot of fun with it.
