Ducati Panigale V2 S 2025

Ducati has fully achieved its goal of building a supersport bike that is very easy to ride. With its extremely light handling, low weight and easy-to-control engine, the new V2 Panigale is a real joy to ride, especially on technically demanding tracks. The big highlights are the late braking points and the tight cornering radii, which can be maintained even at high cornering speeds. The slightly lower power almost makes up for the weight. The new Panigale V2 S therefore offers a significant improvement compared to its predecessor, especially for beginners, and, contrary to the well-known saying "power is everything", will probably help inexperienced riders to achieve better lap times due to its lightness. The little Panigale will bring a smile to the face of even performance-accustomed superbikers. Ducati has achieved many plus points, especially for use on country roads. With the new Panigale, the Italians have brought out a toned-down version and, with a much more comfortable riding position, are clearly focussing on road suitability and beginner-friendliness. This is also emphasised by the fact that the V2 is available in an A2 version. In conjunction with the reduced prices, the V2 Panigale thus also comes into the range for sharp computers. A Panigale for beginners, who would have thought it?
BMW F 900 GS 2024

The F 900 GS feels completely different to its direct predecessor, the F 850 GS. Instead of a sedate all-rounder, with the Enduro Pro package it has become an agile adventure bike with considerable off-road capabilities. Uncomplicated yet powerful, it can be ridden on and off the beaten track. However, it only really comes into its own with a few accessories. The Enduro Pro package and Dynamic package are almost mandatory purchases, which also pushes the price up. All in all, a remarkable reorientation of BMW's in-line two-cylinder enduro bike.
