Ducati 1199 Panigale 2013

Since 2012, the 1199 Panigale has been an absolutely trend-setting concept that I believe will follow in the footsteps of the legendary 916.
BMW S 1000 RR 2016

The S 1000 RR is the universal talent among the superbikes - you sit on it and feel comfortable straight away. Although it seems a bit nervous in comparison in terms of chassis and stability. However, it converts this into pleasantly easy handling and impresses with its enormous engine power. The front wheel is indeed particularly light and has to be calmed by the steering damper. An incredibly sporty and at the same time comfortable feature is the shift assistant for upshifting and downshifting - this brings calm to the chassis and you can fully concentrate on driving.
