Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-07 2018

The MT-07 is an incredible fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch, the handling is superb and the engine is currently by far the most agile power unit in this class - and even above. The light handling fits in perfectly and the aggressive design with its many corners and edges is also appealing. Only the chassis makes the typically good compromise between comfort and sport and should probably remind you that the affordable MT-07 also has a lot to offer beginners.

BMW M 1000 RR 2021

The price of the M1000RR is only shocking at first glance. In the saddle, you are more shocked by the power and braking performance. The machine is a fully tuned racing bike straight from the BMW factory. Those who don't like to screw but still like to race will be happy with it. A noble and practical superbike!

strong brakes

precise chassis

noble details are a joy to behold in the paddock
