The second generation of the all-new BMW S 1000 R is significantly more masculine and sharply defined. Sharp edges and accentuated beads clearly emphasizes the precision of the machine. It is derived from the BMW S 1000 RR and enhances its character as a dynamic roadster. The ‘tail up – nose down’ look gives the all-new BMW S 1000 R an eye-catchingly visual impact along with its new body elements. It visually conveys a low weight, sporty lightness and a high level of riding performance. The new LED headlamp lends an even more muscular look. The fuel tank side panels, the tank center cover, the side panels in the shape of a stylized ‘R’ and the engine spoiler have also been redesigned. They also convey pure power for riding fun on urban roads and very fast laps on the racetrack. The new design is accompanied by ergonomic refinements such as a reversible handlebar clamp for increased reach and better riding position and options for the seat height adjustment.

The all-new BMW S 1000 R is fitted with a newly developed water cooled 4-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of 999 cc. It is based on the all-new BMW S 1000 RR engine, which has been comprehensively modified for sporty performance. It generates a peak output of 165 hp (121 kW) at 11,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 114 Nm at 9,250 rpm to deliver supreme level of engine power. The all-new BMW S 1000 R sprints from 0-100 Km in 3.2 seconds and can achieve maximum speed of 250 km/h. (Electronically Limited).

We are delighted to offer yet another masterpiece for riding enthusiasts in India. It is a unique blend between fast sporty runs and track day fun.”
