BMW S 1000 R versus Honda CBR 650 R

Conclusion - what sticks

The S 1000 R is basically a double R, from which the fairing has been removed and the torque curve on country roads has been optimised. It is super sporty, which can be an disadvantage and a disadvantage at the same time. If you want to sit upright on your streetfighter, you are out of place here. If you are looking for proximity to the front wheel and asphalt, you will find it here!

In any case, we had tons of driving fun and did not feel overwhelmed despite the immense performance. This is exactly why you have to compliment BMW: Not all manufacturers succeed in putting such a grenade on the wheels for (almost) everyone. To anticipate misunderstandings: Of course, this motorcycle is not a beginner's machine!
 
The test machine was kindly provided by Bergmann & Söhne in Pinneberg - thank you!

Conclusion - what sticks

Above all, it sticks that the CBR is a bike suitable for everyday use, but this does not reduce the driving pleasure in the least - on the contrary: Just because the CBR is so sociable, it is a lot of fun to athletes with it through the area. Apart from that, we also find them really beautiful, like almost all athletes. Now we also understand why our YouTube users have been in our ears for years, we finally want to test the Honda CBR 650 R. Check, ham' we did, was actually worth it, thanks for the tip.
 
By the way, the test bike was provided to us by motofun, a large Honda dealer from Kaltenkirchen near Hamburg. There, the CBR stands as a demonstrator in black and waits for test drivers. Go ahead, Nico and his team are looking forward to your visit!
