BMW S 1000 RR 2015

BMW S 1000 RR 2015

The BMW can still score points with hard facts in 2015. If you like top performance, you have to buy the BMW. It turns out incredibly powerful at the top and drives away the rest of the field from 200. Big and heavy riders will be able to benefit from this even more. BMW didn't make it easy for themselves with this bike and put together a very universal motorbike. If you were to do a comparison test with 50 different riders (from rookie to pro), the BMW would have the best average of all 1000cc bikes. The electronic chassis, but also the riding aids, make the pros fast and the beginners safe on the road. A top recommendation for a very broad target group. Very fast hobby riders will not be 100% satisfied with the standard suspension. If you don't want to modify the chassis, you should rather go for an R1M, a Panigale S or an RSV RF. If you want to convert anyway, the S 1000 RR is the strongest and most universal base. Surprisingly, the powerful machine also rides very well on country roads. All in all, it looks like a compromise, but it never feels like one in practice.

Superb shift assistant

incredibly powerful and rev-happy engine

great range of accessories

race-ready data logging tool and calibration tool available.

Chassis quickly at the limit in the hands of professionals

BMW HP4 RACE 2017

BMW HP4 RACE 2017

The BMW HP4 Race combines the advantages of two worlds. You enjoy the power, stability and precision of a world championship machine. At the same time, however, you enjoy the easy handling and high quality of a series product. Long-term support is guaranteed here, because BMW itself is behind the HP4 Race, not a small tuning shop. For normal consumers, the machine seems astronomically expensive, but for pit lane insiders it presents itself as the best deal you can make at this level.

Engine performance and set-up simply perfect. 215 hp is served up in a usable way

fantastic braking performance

low weight can be felt in every riding situation

advantages of the machine can be used by riders of different performance classes

no tinsel on the motorbike - only perfect racing parts

support from BMW customer sports crew

motorbike scores both in passages where good handling is required and where power is needed

most varied tuning options available on the chassis but

Higher service costs than with conventional motorbikes, but of course lower than with comparable production racers

motorbike was generally easy to handle and uncritical during the test, only the sharp braking system apparently needs to be run in carefully to avoid damage

the vehicle could give too much feedback overall to coarse riders

high pressure in the paddock. You have to be fast with this bike :-)
