Technical Specifications Aprilia RSV4 RR 2016 compared to BMW S 1000 RR 2015
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Aprilia RSV4 RR 2016
The Aprilia stands out from the crowd with its sonorous V4 sound, sounding more like a two-cylinder than a screaming in-line four. You immediately feel at home on the RSV4 RR and can immediately ride at decent lean angles without having to feel your way around. In terms of handling, it is very pleasant, even though you are sitting quite high up on it. It is a little too compact for tall riders. Compared to its predecessor, it is easier to ride, but at the same time much stronger and faster. It scores points especially on corner entry with great feedback from the front wheel.
BMW S 1000 RR 2015
The BMW can still score points with hard facts in 2015. If you like top performance, you have to buy the BMW. It turns out incredibly powerful at the top and drives away the rest of the field from 200. Big and heavy riders will be able to benefit from this even more. BMW didn't make it easy for themselves with this bike and put together a very universal motorbike. If you were to do a comparison test with 50 different riders (from rookie to pro), the BMW would have the best average of all 1000cc bikes. The electronic chassis, but also the riding aids, make the pros fast and the beginners safe on the road. A top recommendation for a very broad target group. Very fast hobby riders will not be 100% satisfied with the standard suspension. If you don't want to modify the chassis, you should rather go for an R1M, a Panigale S or an RSV RF. If you want to convert anyway, the S 1000 RR is the strongest and most universal base. Surprisingly, the powerful machine also rides very well on country roads. All in all, it looks like a compromise, but it never feels like one in practice.
