BMW M 1000 XR: The unreasonable travelling monster The BMW M 1000 XR is the bike that nobody needs but everyone wants. This oversized touring motorbike combines the comfort of a long-distance machine with the power of a superbike. On the motorway, it feels as stable as if it were riding on rails, even at speeds that dwarf the speed limit. But the real miracle is the braking system, which offers a deceleration performance that is otherwise only known from thoroughbred racing machines. When you make yourself small and open up the throttle, the M 1000 XR becomes a roaring beast that leaves you with a wide grin.
Ducati Panigale V4 S 2025

The updates to the Panigale V4 S hit the mark in terms of riding dynamics. At first glance, more stability and better turning seem to be contradictory development goals, but they are combined in the 2025 model, not least thanks to the switch to the double sided swing arm. The new Pani is as fast as an arrow and is now much more suited to hobby racers. But the following still applies: fun costs money - you have to dig deep into your pockets for the S version tested here.
