BMW S 1000 RR 2019

BMW S 1000 RR 2019

The new 2019 BMW S 1000 RR is a completely new supersports bike. It has become significantly more compact and, above all, lighter. The machine is incredibly easy to control and, compared to the previous model, almost feels like a 600! The seating position and the entire set-up of the machine have become much sportier, but can be brought to the tarmac in a much more user-friendly way thanks to the significantly improved electronics package, the saved weight and, last but not least, the almost linear power delivery of the power unit - bravo! Unfortunately, there is still one downer: if you want to benefit from the innovations to the maximum, you have to put a maximum number of crosses in the dealer's box. In return, however, you can create your own individual BMW!

Very linear power delivery, which makes it much more controllable and certainly faster for most riders. Wide rev range and pleasant dosing...

The new DDC of the RR works even more precisely and offers you TOP performance

Super electronics package

Excellent shift assistant

More active, i.e. sportier, seating position

High-quality details such as frame, swingarm and display make the heart beat faster

... Unfortunately, the machine has lost a certain amount of "thrill" due to the linear power delivery

the new S 1000 RR is almost "too perfect"

menu navigation takes some time to get used to
