BMW S 1000 R 2025
The BMW S 1000 R will remain an uncompromising roadster for sporty, ambitious road riders in 2025. The BMW S 1000 R 2025 is not a bike for posers or warmists. It is a technical statement - crystal clear, precise and mercilessly efficient. Anyone who thinks naked bikes are tame all-rounders will be proven wrong here. If you are looking for a powerful naked bike with modern technology and distinct riding pleasure, the S 1000 R is an excellent choice.

Kawasaki Z900 2025
The new Z900 masters the balancing act between modernisation and proven virtues remarkably well. The 6-axle IMU, the precise quickshifter and the new electronics package make it technically absolutely up-to-date, while the characterful four-cylinder engine loses none of its fascination despite Euro 5+. The harmonious setup of all components is particularly impressive: whether suspension, engine or ergonomics - the overall package is just right.
Harmonious engine with impressive acceleration in the mid-range
very well functioning quickshifter with precise responsiveness
mature riding performance with a good compromise between stability and nimble handling
sensitive 6-axle IMU with harmonious control
superbly tuned seating position
excellent engine reponsiveness
confident cornering behaviour with transparent feedback from the front
harmonious electronics that do not restrict riding pleasure
smooth transmission with perfectly tuned ratios
first-class stop-and-go behaviour in city traffic
intuitive bike for beginners and experienced riders
slim waist despite four-cylinder layout
Great 5 inch display but the possibilities are not perfectly utilised with the Rideology app
licence plate holder seems a little carelessly integrated into the design
fuel consumption in practice significantly higher than factory specification (6.0-6.5l instead of 4.8l)
suspension of the basic version a little stiff on poor asphalt
promised app functions not yet available at the time of testing
