Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 RR 2023
For me, the most noticeable of all the innovations were the electronics and the steering geometry. Thanks to the additional information of the new steering angle sensor and the revised riding aids, the new S1000RR now has an electronic package with which you can not only ride safely, but also quickly, which will especially please the faster faction. But with a few additional features such as Slide Control, the average rider also has the opportunity to try out the riding style of the pros without risk, in order to cut a good figure in riding photos. And apart from that, it's also fun. The new steering geometry brings a little more calmness to the front and improves feedback, which is an invaluable advantage, especially at the limits. So the next round in the hunt for the best superbike is reopened.
Honda CBR650R 2019
The new CBR650R takes the spirit we know from classic four-cylinder sports tourers and brings it into the modern era. Thanks to the good engine tuning, you don't have to worry about being left behind by your two-cylinder friends, especially as you are rewarded with a lovely sound across the rev range. Unfortunately, however, there can be too much sound, as the roar below 4,500 rpm proved. On the chassis and seating position side, a compromise has been found that allows the CBR650R to cope well with everyday riding, as well as longer tours and house track hunts.
