BMW S 1000 R

BMW Motorrad has updated the S 1000 R globally. It now features updated tech as well as revised colour schemes. Read more about it here.

The 2021 BMW S 1000 R is priced at Rs 18,30,000 for the standard variant, Rs 19,75,000 for the Pro variant and at Rs 22,50,000 for the top-of-the-line Pro M Sport trim. It is one of the more affordable options in the litre-class naked space, which has recently seen the arrival of the Ducati Streetfighter V4, the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS and the Kawasaki Z H2.

The S 1000 R is essentially a BMW S 1000 RR minus the fairings and with a slightly less powerful heart. For 2021, the bike has received its most crucial update as it goes under the knife from head to toe. Aesthetically, it bids adieu to the asymmetrical headlamp and edgy styling, taking on a similar design language to other Bavarian nakeds like the G 310 R and the F 900 R.

Standard features on the new S 1000 R comprise three riding modes (Rain, Road, and Dynamic), dynamic traction control, ABS, and Bluetooth connectivity, all accessible through a new TFT instrument cluster.

The 2021 S 1000 R is powered by the same 999cc, inline-four motor which has been tweaked to meet BS6 norms, putting out 165PS and 114Nm.
