BMW S 1000 R

BMW S 1000 R Overview

The BMW S 1000 R is aimed at riders who want a powerful naked bike for fast road rides and weekend trips, rather than a basic commuter. Its 167.6 bhp four-cylinder engine, three riding modes, traction control and quickshifter give buyers plenty to work with, while dual-channel ABS can help prevent either wheel locking during hard braking. A TFT screen with Bluetooth and map navigation adds useful information on the move.

Its 16 kmpl mileage is claimed, and the 830 mm seat may be a stretch for shorter riders; under-seat storage is absent. The Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS makes more power and has higher claimed mileage, while the KTM 1390 Super Duke R is more powerful and heavier. The BMW is priced below the KTM but above the Speed Triple 1200 RS and Aprilia Tuono 660.

• 167.6 bhp and 114 Nm deliver substantial engine output for spirited road riding.
• Rain, Road and Dynamic modes let riders select between three engine-response settings.
• Dual-channel ABS works on both wheels to help prevent lock-ups under hard braking.
• A quickshifter allows gear changes without using the clutch.
• The 6.5-inch TFT offers Bluetooth connectivity and map navigation.
• Cruise control is available for steady-speed highway riding.

Best for: Buy it if you want a high-powered naked bike with riding aids and touring-friendly electronics, and can accept its claimed mileage and tall seat.
