Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW M 1000 RR 2025

The perfected supersport icon The BMW M 1000 RR is a technical masterpiece with 217 Horsepower, which paradoxically becomes a problem due to its perfection. Suitable for trackdays as standard with outstanding electronics and neutral riding dynamics, but difficult to customise. A supersports car that is surprisingly accessible to drive, but whose absolute perfection poses a dilemma for tuning enthusiasts: Do I buy the expensive, perfect M version or the cheaper S 1000 RR to customise myself? Ideal for purists, problematic for individualists.

Ducati Panigale V4 S 2025

The updates to the Panigale V4 S hit the mark in terms of riding dynamics. At first glance, more stability and better turning seem to be contradictory development goals, but they are combined in the 2025 model, not least thanks to the switch to the double sided swing arm. The new Pani is as fast as an arrow and is now much more suited to hobby racers. But the following still applies: fun costs money - you have to dig deep into your pockets for the S version tested here.

Superb neutral handling with an urge for a tight line

Stability when accelerating, no more stirring

Improved ergonomics, less demanding

Great and innovative Advanced Rider Assistance Systems benefit hobby racers in particular

216 Horsepower despite Euro 5+
