BMW S 1000 RR 2015

The BMW can still score points with hard facts in 2015. If you like top performance, you have to buy the BMW. It turns out incredibly powerful at the top and drives away the rest of the field from 200. Big and heavy riders will be able to benefit from this even more. BMW didn't make it easy for themselves with this bike and put together a very universal motorbike. If you were to do a comparison test with 50 different riders (from rookie to pro), the BMW would have the best average of all 1000cc bikes. The electronic chassis, but also the riding aids, make the pros fast and the beginners safe on the road. A top recommendation for a very broad target group. Very fast hobby riders will not be 100% satisfied with the standard suspension. If you don't want to modify the chassis, you should rather go for an R1M, a Panigale S or an RSV RF. If you want to convert anyway, the S 1000 RR is the strongest and most universal base. Surprisingly, the powerful machine also rides very well on country roads. All in all, it looks like a compromise, but it never feels like one in practice.

The seating position is sporty, but by no means uncomfortable, the brakes are powerful and the engine of the S 1000 R is at its best - perhaps even a little too homogeneous. There is also nothing to complain about on the riding side. Based on the pure performance data and the installed electronic features, the BMW probably has what it takes for the fastest lap time. And that on any kind of surface, because with the semi-active suspension you can eat up kilometre after kilometre on bad roads littered with potholes. Unfortunately, this feeling of superiority never really spilled over to the driver. Probably the downside of too much balance in all areas - at least in my Italophile eyes. The BMW lacked that certain something, the charisma, which is difficult to explain but arouses genuine emotions.
