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.

With probably no other motorbike would the test riders have wished to be able to reach into the tuning box at least a little. Because the Ninja ZX-10R is a motorbike that offers an excellent basis for the race track. Unlike the other three Japanese bikes, it is radical, offers competitive top performance compared to BMW and Ducati.

Engine offers powerful peak power

offers ABS and traction point together.

Handling somewhat suboptimal for faster routes

braking performance diminishes over time.
