BMW S 1000 R 2015

With the BMW S 1000 R, you notice both the close relationship to the S 1000 RR superbike and the endeavour to equip the machine with a high degree of comfort for country roads and everyday use. Accordingly, the 1000cc four-cylinder power unit is brute and yet easily controllable, and the seating position is correspondingly sporty and comfortable. The fact that the S 1000 R is one of the most affordable power naked bikes is surprising and very pleasing, although one must not get hold of the list of optional extras - because thanks to the many irresistible features, it will certainly be more expensive.

Of course, the new R1 engine also passed all the tough Yamaha stress tests and comes with the same guarantees as other Yamaha motorbikes. Because until now, it was precisely the issues of durability and reliability that prevented series production of such an engine.

Sophisticated sound

easy handling

hydraulic spring preload

high level of workmanship.
