Is your heartbeat connected directly to the tachometer? Then the S 1000 R is the Roadster for you – stripped down to the essentials, but maximizing pure riding pleasure. Its aggressive engine with its 121 kW (165 hp) will put a smile on your face every time it revs up. And the rich sound of the new standard HP titanium rear silencer leaves no doubt, that's how life in the fast lane sounds.
Adrenaline on two wheels.Some call it naked, we just call it concentrating on the essentials. The genes of its sister, the S 1000 RR, are quite clear, an aggressive tail-up/nose-down design, a distinctive split-face and characteristic gills. The greatly reduced side trim panel and precise colouring make it clear, the power delivery isn't the only thing here that's pure and uncompromising.
The source of all dynamics: the engine.The high performance 4-cylinder in-line engine descends from the RR. We have increased the power again to 121 KW (165 HP). The S 1000 R has extremely linear torque and a constant forward propulsion across the entire engine speed range. E-Gas lets you measure out this power even more precisely. While the race-tested Pro shift assist lets you shift up and down without using the clutch for more dynamics and shorter response times – welcome to the borderland.
Room for adjustments.The S 1000 R gives you two riding modes as standard: "Rain" and "Road". "Rain" provides a gentle throttle response, with ABS and ASC adapted to wet road surfaces. Meanwhile, "Road" optimizes throttle response, ABS and ASC for dry asphalt. Optionally, you can have two additional modes: Dynamic and Dynamic Pro. Then ABS Pro provides you perfect delay even when leaning, DTC, launch control and the pit lane limiter.
Dynamic Pro on the other hand is the sharpest riding mode: this is where neither ABS nor ABS Pro are available on the rear wheel brake. At the same time, you can configure Dynamic Pro yourself in the user mode with your own settings. So there is really only one limit: your own personal one.
Features may include:The asymmetrical headlamp arrangement makes the RR's DNA easy to recognize.
With round tachometer, indicator lamps and a large, easy to read LC display.
Made of aluminium, the slim fuel tank reduces the overall weight.
The reduced and dynamic trim supports the sporty and aggressive design.
For outstanding braking performance and braking safety.
Tested out ideally on the RR and S 1000 XR. Ensures dynamically safe shifting.
The HP rear silencer made of titanium and fitted as standard provides a powerful sound.
