BMW Motorrad to launch second generation S1000R in May 2021
In the aspiration of the S1000RR 2019 and the S1000XR 2020, the S1000R is completely revised for 2021! The maxisportif roadster is in fact the chassis and electronics of the sports car on the one hand, the engine block of the maxitrail maxiroutier on the other.. Presentation.
Last year (2019), the S1000R was dismissed by the Speed Triple 1050 from the Top5 of French maxiroadster sales … for only 14 registrations (598 to 584)! In 2020, we expected a reaction from BMW, especially as the Bavarian firm had in its catalog a brand new S1000RR !
Unfortunately for fans of the "simple R", BMW has continued this year to offer its maxiroadster with a sinister look but almost, launched in 2013 and revised in 2017. German engineers have indeed prioritized the redesign of the S1000XR, to the greatest happiness maxitrails enthusiasts maxiroutiers.

Two years after the release of its S1000RR – and at the same time as the new M1000RR! -, BMW launches the second generation of S1000R, a clever mix of XR and RR … Indeed, if the three S1000 share the same engine base (5 kg lighter than the previous block), the roadster is satisfied with the configuration one little wiser inaugurated on the trail…
Like the S1000XR 2020 therefore, the S1000R 2021 does without the ShiftCam technology used by the S1000RR 2019. The maximum values are retained: 165 horsepower percherons perched at 11,000 rev / min, and 114 newton-meters reached at 9,250 rev, "including 80 Nm from 3000 rev / min", underline the German engine manufacturers.
For information, the BMW Motorrad chronometer is categorical: the novelty 2021 cuts "0 to 200 km / h in 8.0 seconds, or 5% more efficient than the previous S1000R". The future owners of the new model are pumping it up in advance … Cruchot for his part, frantically polishes his two-way multi-lane radar. !
On the other hand, the times on the last three gears promise to be less dazzling than before: as on the recent XR, the 4-5-6 speeds have been lengthened by + 8% on the new R. Conversely and as a result, the average consumption (according to the WMTC standard) drops by -8%: from 6.7 to 6.2 l / 100km.
The weight is also decreasing: the Germans indicate that the S1000R weighs 6.5 kilograms less, that is to say 199 kg all full facts. The "Behème" thus becomes "the lightest dynamic roadster in its category" … in fact on a par with the Streetfighter V4 S which is on the other hand much more powerful (208 hp, popopo).
Minimalist frame, inverted swingarm, inverted 45 mm fork (Vs 46 previously), mono-shock absorber (also adjustable from anywhere), Hayes braking with "BMW" logo: this time, everything is directly transplanted from the Superbike to the new maxiroadster.
As on the sports car, customers will be able to check many options when ordering: "the Pack M reduces the weight of the vehicle by an additional 4.8 kg … but increases the bill by 2,825 euros. M ** * so, that’s expensive per kg, "nein" ?
Displayed "from 14,980 euros", ie an increase of 590 euros which does not include the quickshifter. BMW Motorrad France is granting only a very small "bonus" to its customers in 2021: all its machines will be equipped with a USB socket as standard. "Danke schon" ?!
In their argument, however, the sales representatives of the propeller brand will not fail to highlight the presence on the new S1000R of the fully digital instrumentation and colors of the sports car, which plunges the roadster into a new … R ?!
The traction control (DTC) informed by the inertial unit – therefore sensitive to angles, such as ABS – as well as the driving modes (Rain, Road or Dynamic) therefore appear more clearly on the 6.5 screen. inches and can be adjusted more easily by means of the clever ring on the left stalk (Multi Controller).
By selecting the optional "Pro" driving modes, the pilot has access to engine brake settings, fine-grained traction control (MSR which monitors the lifting of the front wheel when accelerating, without preventing it if the pilot wishes. !) and the dynamic braking system (DBC).
DDC electronic suspensions are also available as an option. In the end, plan a check for 17,955 euros for the S1000R Pro (see commercial info, below). The new S1000R 2021 can be ordered now but beware, the first deliveries will not take place until May 2021.
Finally, the S1000R logically takes advantage of this big 2021 evolution to change its style … and especially its head, to resemble its sisters F900R and R1250R in particular! More compact, the new headlight is now symmetrical, like the entire BMW Motorrad range. An adaptive cornering lighting system is available … as an option, "ja".
Site readers – who as everyone knows, are a little more observant than others – will have noticed that the LED indicators are hidden at the front, as close to the fork. Behind, it is the brake lights which merge into the small indicators … a characteristic that the S1000R shares this time with its two cousins RR and XR !
