BMW S 1000 R 2023

The seating position is sporty, but by no means uncomfortable, the brakes are powerful and the engine of the S 1000 R is at its best - perhaps even a little too homogeneous. There is also nothing to complain about on the riding side. Based on the pure performance data and the installed electronic features, the BMW probably has what it takes for the fastest lap time. And that on any kind of surface, because with the semi-active suspension you can eat up kilometre after kilometre on bad roads littered with potholes. Unfortunately, this feeling of superiority never really spilled over to the driver. Probably the downside of too much balance in all areas - at least in my Italophile eyes. The BMW lacked that certain something, the charisma, which is difficult to explain but arouses genuine emotions.
Ducati Streetfighter V2 S 2025

With the new Streetfighter V2, Ducati really has a highlight to offer. Even if the 120 hp might not knock some people's socks off, the new bike scores with its enormous stability and lightness. Thanks to its A2 suitability, it offers not only good access for beginners, but also plenty of riding pleasure for experienced riders. Despite its manageable power, it is particularly well positioned on the road thanks to its well thought-out overall concept. And for all those who like to throw data around at the pub-talk, Ducati has another ace up its sleeve with the new V4 Streetfighter.
