Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1M 2017

The Yamaha YZF-R1M takes the excellent base of the 'normal' R1 and, thanks to electronic Öhlins suspension and visual stimuli, patterns itself into an excellent race track bike that is well suited for serious racing. Only the ABS system reacts too cautiously, which led to several braking incidents.

powerful engine

clean throttle response

electronic Öhlins suspension

perfect for racing on slicks

ABS system not 100 per cent satisfactory

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP 2017

The Honda CBR 1000 RR Fireblade SP may be a 1000cc bike, but it never looks threatening. It feels compact, inspires confidence and offers a lot of riding fun. A combination that not many motorbikes can manage. It is sensational on the country road, and great for trackdays on the race track. However, the road to a real racing machine is probably a little longer than with another 1000cc.

Low weight that you can also feel in the saddle

compact but not uncomfortable riding position

high-quality workmanship

sensible electronics package

easy and intuitive to move.

ABS first bottleneck on the race track

not suitable for racing applications
