BMW S 1000 RR 2018

The well-balanced universal talent will also be at the forefront of many comparison tests in 2017. It still scores with the outstanding engine and the universal and complete equipment.

On request with complete electronic equipment. All features available in high quality

Strong engine - powerful and easy to control

Comfortable seating position even for taller riders

Good chassis on the road and at trackdays

Brake fade on the racetrack under high load

Ride quality high enough for trackdays but not good enough for racing

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R 2021

Kawasaki offers a mature overall package with the Ninja ZX-10R in the 2021 model year, which with the new front end also really looks like 2021. The bike offers surprisingly good space for the rider and you feel comfortable in the saddle. The rev-happy engine leaves nothing to be desired - except perhaps more discipline in the part-load range. To make the project a success, Kawasaki relies on high-quality ingredients: Showa suspension, Öhlins steering dampers, Brembo brakes with 330 discs and high-quality electronics. Thanks to the good electronics and the superior engine, the Ninja ZX-10R even cuts quite a figure on country roads - as long as you are willing to suffer a little in terms of seating position due to the concept.
