Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 RR 2015
The BMW can still score points with hard facts in 2015. If you like top performance, you have to buy the BMW. It turns out incredibly powerful at the top and drives away the rest of the field from 200. Big and heavy riders will be able to benefit from this even more. BMW didn't make it easy for themselves with this bike and put together a very universal motorbike. If you were to do a comparison test with 50 different riders (from rookie to pro), the BMW would have the best average of all 1000cc bikes. The electronic chassis, but also the riding aids, make the pros fast and the beginners safe on the road. A top recommendation for a very broad target group. Very fast hobby riders will not be 100% satisfied with the standard suspension. If you don't want to modify the chassis, you should rather go for an R1M, a Panigale S or an RSV RF. If you want to convert anyway, the S 1000 RR is the strongest and most universal base. Surprisingly, the powerful machine also rides very well on country roads. All in all, it looks like a compromise, but it never feels like one in practice.
Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory 2019
The fact that the Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory is new can be seen in the displacement - the increase to 1077 cubic metres means that a massive 217 hp and 122 Newton metres of torque are now available. This makes the RSV4 one of the strongest on the racetrack, but also a superior country road fighter. In all other respects, such as chassis, suspension and geometry, the Factory version with Öhlins suspension elements embodies the racing idea in a really serious way. Even the cool winglets on the side are no joke, but derived directly from the RS-GP MotoGP bike. The rest of the design is old, but certainly not boring.
