Starting from £13,760
S 1000 R

Dynamic roadster on the outside, superbike DNA on the inside. Ultra agile, ultra precise.
A naked bike par excellence – even the colours will get your heart racing. The Splitface LED headlight with daytime riding lights and the R logo have an aggressive look: ready for the ultimate challenge, or the most exhilarating trips. #NeverStopChallenging

Power. Visible.
Screams pure performance, even from afar: The dynamic front with the unmistakeable Splitface design and dual-flow LED headlights. The Headlight Pro with the powerful daytime riding lights can illuminate everything you need to see.
Dynamics at its Best.
The weight? No contest. Including M package, it is optimised down to the last gram – from 196 kg. Even when fully equipped and with a full tank, it remains under 200 kg.
Brachial Right Up to the Limit Position.
The drive goes right up to the limit. Races straight off from neutral. Lets off a superbike firework all the way up to its maximum 12,000 rpm. Remains controllable at all times thanks to three lean angle-dependent riding modes. The short secondary gear ratio makes the R a sprinter that cannot be overtaken. The M Quick action throttle allows for perfect dosing, without the need to change your grip position. The optional Pro riding modes also give you full control over all control systems.
Driven by Adrenaline.
Front wheel-optimised sitting position – on the attack. At the same time, you can keep everything under control thanks to the double-adjustable handlebar clamp and three different seat heights, among other features. As versatile and precise as ever. The extreme sportiness doesn’t mean it’s unsuitable for touring. On the contrary: equipment options like the luggage rack or the navigation preparation invite you to go on adrenaline-packed trips.
