Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 RR 2018

The well-balanced universal talent will also be at the forefront of many comparison tests in 2017. It still scores with the outstanding engine and the universal and complete equipment.

On request with complete electronic equipment. All features available in high quality

Strong engine - powerful and easy to control

Comfortable seating position even for taller riders

Good chassis on the road and at trackdays

Brake fade on the racetrack under high load

Ride quality high enough for trackdays but not good enough for racing

Looks greyed out even though it is technically up to date

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2011

Honda has lovingly and logically developed the CBR 1000 RR in detail. The Fireblade remained as it always was - just a little better. We were fast, we rode safely, we had fun, and in these difficult conditions. The total control thing is much more than brochure talk. It's a 20-year-old religion worth believing in.

Plenty of power

fast driving

confident chassis

ABS

precise

reduced fuel consumption.

Technology not yet fully developed.
