BMW S 1000 RR 2019

The new 2019 BMW S 1000 RR is a completely new supersports bike. It has become significantly more compact and, above all, lighter. The machine is incredibly easy to control and, compared to the previous model, almost feels like a 600! The seating position and the entire set-up of the machine have become much sportier, but can be brought to the tarmac in a much more user-friendly way thanks to the significantly improved electronics package, the saved weight and, last but not least, the almost linear power delivery of the power unit - bravo! Unfortunately, there is still one downer: if you want to benefit from the innovations to the maximum, you have to put a maximum number of crosses in the dealer's box. In return, however, you can create your own individual BMW!
Yamaha YZF-R6 2019

It almost seems as if the Yamaha YZF-R6 was born on the race track. It is easy to see that the R6 is the little sister of the YZF-R1. Whether it's the design, the ergonomics, the braking or the electronic aids - the racing genes are everywhere! The R6 is an outstanding piece of engineering in the 600cc class and, depending on your preferences, is probably the best 600cc bike currently available - at least for the racetrack. The Yamaha gives the rider unbelievably high precision and feedback over the front wheel and the chassis, and is super manageable at the same time! The engine is extremely rev-happy, but also wants to be kept happy. It is a pity that the latest version of the R6 has lost some of its power due to Euro 4... Nevertheless, it will be the faster track bike for most of us. And if there is a need, an open exhaust system (without road homologation) and mapping can tickle a few more horsepower out of the super sports bike. Sharp design meets even sharper components - TOP!
