Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2009

Of course, the new R1 engine also passed all the tough Yamaha stress tests and comes with the same guarantees as other Yamaha motorbikes. Because until now, it was precisely the issues of durability and reliability that prevented series production of such an engine.

Sophisticated sound

good feeling for power delivery

easy handling

hydraulic spring preload

high level of workmanship.

Suboptimal seating position

somewhat difficult cornering over long distances.

BMW S 1000 RR 2021

A real "all-rounder" superbike. The BMW knows how to play to its strengths both on the race track and on the country road. Thanks to variable camshaft control, the powerful engine is already convincing at the bottom end and accelerates harmoniously across the entire rev range, with plenty of power in every range. For the hobby pilot, the chassis certainly functions excellently in every situation, provides transparent feedback and offers many adjustment options. The seating position is sporty yet relatively comfortable. The electronics work very harmoniously without patronising the rider - TOP!

Very linear power delivery, which makes it particularly controllable. Wide rev range and pleasant control

thanks to ShiftCam, there is also plenty of pressure in the lower rev range

excellent DDC - precision and TOP performance

super electronics package

harmonious overall package both on the road and on the racetrack

In part, the bike seems almost a bit "characterless" compared to the Aprilia and Honda

In direct comparison, the bike lags a bit behind on the spec sheet
