KTM 1190 RC8 R 2015

KTM 1190 RC8 R 2015

The RC8 from KTM has matured into a good motorbike. Unfortunately, the maturing process has taken a little too long. The engine characteristics are good, the chassis as well and the bike is great to ride both on the country road and on the race track.

Well-tuned suspension elements

fairly agile

acceptable brakes

positive cornering.

Performance could be higher

primarily designed for country roads.

BMW S 1000 RR 2014

BMW S 1000 RR 2014

BMW S 1000 RR 2015 buyers are closer than ever to a World Superbike Championship machine and will be able to ride it faster than ever before.

Powerful engine

superior electronics package

superb shift assistant

versatile for track and road use

despite high performance, a bike that is easy to ride.

In the fully equipped version, the price skyrockets

stability is a bit tricky

packages subject to surcharges are put together with a focus on profit maximisation and not with a focus on customer benefits.
