Aprilia RSV4 RF 2015
The new RSV4 will make riders happy who have always ridden supersport bikes and love this category. Up-and-coming 600cc riders will appreciate it and even former 250cc riders will still find its handling beguiling. It was born in Aprilia's racing department and has been fine-tuned there for 2015. It is now easier to ride than before. But it is hard at the limit, especially when it comes to stability. Experienced riders get the bike into trouble on corner exits, rookies probably only at top speed on long straights. Its chassis is very radical for country roads, and on bad asphalt it gets restless on the saddle. An electronic chassis could help, but that is not installed on the Aprilia. But riding only on the racetrack wouldn't be right either. The RSV4 may be old in terms of design, but it is still incredibly beautiful. Anyone who rides it is considered a connoisseur and a hero in front of the ice cream parlour, and that hasn't changed in 2015. At the regulars' table, you don't have to report that it's lighter now than it used to be.
BMW S 1000 RR 2026
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.
