Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 RR 2011

The most important changes to the S 1000 RR, however, were the numerous small adjustments to the chassis and geometry. Here we now benefit from thousands of test kilometres from the BMW test crew. This is logical evolution and a great step forward.

Improved driveability - optimised torque curve

plenty of power

strong engine

good traction point

immaculately functioning shift assist.

Accelerating load is very fatiguing.

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2014

Those who focus on good lap times will not find the CBR 1000 RR the best partner in the field. Those who simply want to ride nice laps around the ring or on the country road will still have fun with it. It rides heart-stoppingly, looks great and gives you a lot of feeling for the rear wheel. At the regulars' table, Honda fans can at least score points with Marquez's victories, but they won't be able to come up with the Fireblade's fabulous performance figures or lap records.

great look

transparent handling

good feeling for traction

high-quality chassis

great basis for racetrack conversion

reliable and proven technology

Peak power no longer up to date

lack of traction control
