Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha R1 2015
The new R1 is a big hit and no longer compares to the previous model. This was considered a good country road bike and heavy investments had to be made for excursions to the race track. Now it is the other way round. The new R1 has been developed with a clear focus on the race track. The electronics package seems outstanding, technology freaks will get their money's worth. Yamaha fans have to buy it, they finally have a worthy motorbike. The R1 has slight weaknesses when braking - it becomes a little unstable here. If you want to buy a ready-made racing bike without having to work on the chassis, you'd better go for the R1M. The Öhlins electronic suspension works perfectly and has no weaknesses. For pure racetrack use, the second weakness of the R1 can easily be ironed out. The torque hole in the middle can be easily ironed out with a new mapping.

For me, the most noticeable of all the innovations were the electronics and the steering geometry. Thanks to the additional information of the new steering angle sensor and the revised riding aids, the new S1000RR now has an electronic package with which you can not only ride safely, but also quickly, which will especially please the faster faction. But with a few additional features such as Slide Control, the average rider also has the opportunity to try out the riding style of the pros without risk, in order to cut a good figure in riding photos. And apart from that, it's also fun. The new steering geometry brings a little more calmness to the front and improves feedback, which is an invaluable advantage, especially at the limits. So the next round in the hunt for the best superbike is reopened.
