There is no resting pulse
The air is filled with the smell of petrol. An engine revs up: 170 hp. Pure power unfolds. It’s show time for the S 1000 R, or “Single R”, for short. Dynamic roadster on the outside, superbike DNA on the inside. Ultra agile, ultra precise. The aesthetic: rough, yet clean. 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.
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.
