Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha R1 2024

The Yamaha YZF-R1 is mature and makes countless racetrack pilots happy. The engine shines with lightness and agility, the seating position surprises positively and the handling is radical but still "suitable for the masses". The machine immediately stands out visually and also because of the heart-warming sound. Especially on the country road, the bike scores with its well-known strengths: great engine, great electronics, great package! A real pleasure to ride!

powerful engine

clean response

great but not intrusive sound

stable chassis

high-quality electronics

wonderfully noble overall impression

Brake not 100 per cent satisfactory on the race track

BMW S 1000 RR 2025

You can tell that the new BMW S 1000 RR has been fine-tuned again. Ergonomics, electronics tuning, engine handling, suspension tuning (DDC) - BMW engineers have probably thought primarily of the normal customer and not of racers in disguise. Because the S 1000 RR impresses with its high level of universality and perhaps sacrifices the last tenth of uncompromisingness for this - and that was a good decision. This makes the 210 Horsepower superbike rideable and controllable for a wide range of customers, both on the track and on weekend rides on the country road. Only the engine vibrations should not still be there.

powerful engine suitable for everyday use and the racetrack

great electronics for performance and safety

optional M brakes with a brute pressure point

comparatively comfortable seating position for this class

agile chassis, an advantage for the country road

engine vibrations noticeable in the handlebars

slightly less stable than the competition in the high-speed range

extensive optional extras with sometimes high surcharges
