Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 R 2017

The BMW S 1000 R impresses across the board and is much more than just a naked version of the S 1000 RR. With its own character, more torque in the mid-range and first-class electronics, it sets new standards in the high-performance Naked segment. The overall package of brutal performance, excellent suspension and practical everyday use makes it one of the best naked bikes ever - and at a surprisingly fair price.

Brutal performance with 160 Horsepower

Outstanding DDC suspension

Amazing stability at high speeds for a naked bike

Perfect electronics with sensitive DTC

Good price/performance ratio

Character despite perfection

Driving mode display font too small

Too extreme appearance for BMW traditionalists

Without equipment packages, important electronic features are missing

The price advantage is lost with full features

QJ Motor SRK 921 RR 2025

All in all, the QJ Motor SRK 921 RR is a serious alternative in the mid-range supersport segment. It combines sophisticated hardware with a stable chassis design and a linear, powerful engine on a par with the competition. Minor weaknesses such as constant ride judder or the somewhat impractical operating logic for the riding modes only slightly spoil the picture, especially as QJ is known as a manufacturer for making improvements quickly. Anyone looking for a bike with substance, confidence and an emotional sound will find a coherent overall package that is much closer to the established top dogs than you would expect.

great sound

single swing arm and MV Agusta technology and looks at a bargain price

high-quality components

good electronics tuning
