Driving Report: BMW S 1000 R: Nude All-Purpose Cannon


Inspired by the success of his super athlete RR, BMW now brings the S 1000 R to the market after the modular principle. The 160 hp strong "Naked bike" has the stuff to the market leader among the sporting all-rounders. The first test.

What do you get for 12 800 euros on the two-wheeled market? For example, with a 125 hp Streetfighter 848, it remains at this budget with a 125 hp streetfighter 848. At BMW there is exactly that sum the Scooter C 650 GT "Special Edition" with 60 hp. Sexy new alternative for sports fans: The new NAKED BIKE S 1000 R. For the same price, it trumps with brachials 118 kW / 160 hp performance and lots of high-tech. Underneath as standard: two driving modes "Rain" and "Road", Renn-ABS and anti-slip control (ASC). For the new S 1000 R, BMW has raised the engine of its super athletic RR in torque to 112 nm, its 142 kW / 193 hp top performance for 33 hp capped. More power at low and medium speeds and thus better driveability are the noticeable consequences in the hosted ride on the new naked cannon. Only 207 kg brings the S 1000 R ready to drive and filled with 17.5 l on the scales, which makes you even light-footed.

In just 3.1 s, it catapults from 0 to 100. The top speed specifies the manufacturer cryptically with "over 200 km / h". Nevertheless, the Bavarian Roadster is not so drinking pleasure, how to fear due to the powerfulness. At constant 120 km / h, according to BMW, no more than 5.6 l / 100 km flow from the weight-saving aluminum tank, which is unique in this motorcycle segment. Our test consumption was 6.7 l / 100 km, which results in a range of 260 kilometers.

More comfort and overview

A wider and higher pipe handlebar replaces the deeply placed stub of the super athlete RR. This brings on the S 1000 R a sustainable seating position, more comfort and overview. The knee angles are a little relaxed thanks by 23 mm deeper footpegs. When fleets until hot ride on the Roadster is particularly the standard automatic Stability Control ASC of use that makes accelerating with changing frictional values. This makes you feel safe on the naked 160 hp cannon and well. We were able to intensively understand this on the slip-wet roads of Mallorca at temperatures between 5 and 10 degrees Celsius. If you want to go safe in the rain, cold or slippery substrate, change to "RAIN" on the standard driving modes, reducing the power to 136 hp and 104 nm. In addition, Renn-ABS and ASC act in the gait. Thus, the bear-strong roadster itself can be surprisingly safe and still very agile in the most widely and still very agile.

With this bike you can also relax to the next Tappas-Bar Cruisen. If necessary, it is a purebred race horse, but also goes around the cozy there. However, it is unusually translated and turns at 90 km / h in the 6. Almost 4000 tours, the average biker ear has to get used to it.

  1. The short translation
    Well, that will increase nerves and the fuel consumption unnecessarily, before … all on motorway stages, where you can also use the tempomat. And the tank capacity is not the world . If anyone needs the 160 hp in the city or on the land, it is opened, but otherwise the thing is okay, BMW`s look for recently chic well .

  2. BMW remains with two-wheelly alternative tip…
    and those who could experience and possess a BMW machine as an image and experience will never be moved to other brands. Once bmw as a motorcycle = always bmw as a motorcycle !
