Ducati Panigale V4 vs BMW K 1600 B Comparison

The new Ducati Panigale V4 S has that innate quality that makes a 200-plus bhp superbike very accessible and safe around a racetrack. Sure, it's not made for less experienced riders new to litre-class superbikes, and despite the state-of-the-art electronics package, one wrong twist of the wrist can make things go wrong very quickly; after all, all that power and torque over a wide rev range is not to be fooled with, or taken lightly, by any standard.

The BMW K 1600 B has ample performance for a bagger of its size. It looks good, has superb presence, great performance and will eat up the miles if you’re inclined towards touring. The only downside could be the price and cost of ownership.
