Sales have been suffering recently though because they aren't that comfortable, pillion friendly, economical or really that practical for everyday riding and if you can only have one bike an Adventure or Sport Touring model probably makes more sense, particularly if you won't be taking it anywhere near a track. The most expensive bikes are usually closely related to the manufacturer's MotoGP race bike of the time.

They achieve this by minimising weight while at the same time maximising power (ideally around 1 bhp per 1 kg of weight), a low aggressive riding position, full aerodynamic fairing, state of the art technology and the best lean angle possible for cornering as low as possible. Sports bikes have one goal in mind, which is going as fast as possible from A to B. We looked at all the best road focused sports bikes you can buy new and picked the top contenders, taking into account style, power, technology and value for money. Head over to the Choose & Compare Tool to see them all. To mark 30 years since the launch of the CBR900RR a special 30th Anniversary Edition with white/blue/red colour scheme is available.įor 2020 Ducati have evolved the Panigale 959 into the V2 with V4 style bodywork, a single sided swingarm, modern TFT dash, small exhaust, cornering ABS, lean angle aware traction control, LED lighting and a comfier seat.
It's 100% track focused, as small as a 600 cc and has a really aggressive seating position.įor 2022 it gets lower gearing for improved mid-range acceleration via a 40 to 43 tooth rear sprocket change, improved intake and exhaust gas flow, a smoother traction control system and +5 mm wheelbase. The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is brand new for 2020 with a more compact and powerful engine, second generation electronic suspension, new Brembo Stylema calipers, larger front discs, winglets integrated into the new bodywork, a fancy new TFT dash and a specially designed Akrapovic exhaust as standard. It's more powerful, lighter and includes most of the options list. If £20,000 is too cheap for you BMW launched the £30,935 track focused M1000RR for 2020. The new M Pack even adds Carbon Fibre wheels but you won't see much change from £20,000. The wonky headlight is gone, power is up from a new Variable Valve Timing engine, weight is down, the dash is now a fancy colour TFT job and it can be fully spec'd up with semi-active electronic suspension. BMW have been constantly evolving it and three generations later the 2019 model is a brand new bike. The S1000RR was game changing when it launched in 2005 although the asymmetric looks did divide opinion. There's Ohlins electrically adjustable suspension, cornering ABS, slide control, a lean angle aware quickshifter, gorgeous TFT dash and of course the stunning single sided swingarm with no massive exhaust to ruin the lines.įor 2022 there are new thinner winglets with less drag, 212.5 bhp at 13,000 rpm, maximum torque at 9,500 rpm, a new oil pump, larger exhaust outlets, new gear ratios, Low / Medium / High / Full power modes, 5 mm more suspension travel, Track Evo dash display mode and an improved seat. It sets the bar high on looks, power, weight and features all the tech you would expect.
No sports bike top ten would be complete without a beautiful Ducati, in this case the new for 2018 V4 powered Panigale V4 S.
