Everyday test: BMW S 1000 R: Aggressive street fighter

Who thinks of BMW motorcycle only on two-cylinder boxers, misses a lot. For example, a streetfighter that makes not only a good figure from ice cream parlors. We test the 161 hp machine S 1000 R .

Who claims, BMW can only be good? Even the super athlete S 1000 RR also let the hearts beat faster, which gladly laughs optically and acoustically in front of the ice cream parlor. From that athlete, Munich did a unmocked streetfighter – with a wide handlebar, barely cladding, and of course all technical fines, which also distinguishes the super athlete and its noble sister HP4.

More traction for a surcharge

The semi-active suspension known from just that HP4 also held in the naked entry. Is the basic model of the S 1000 R for 12.800 euros only with ABS and automatic stability control ASC as well as the two driving modes Road and Rain, the two pollutant packages Dynamic and Dynamic Pro deliver for 1.700 Euro additionally the traction control DTC or the mentioned electronically adjustable chassis DDC. A very worthwhile investment, allows the driver to adapt the chassis at the push of a button to all possible driving conditions.

You can choose under "soft", "normal" and "hard". Here, not only the spring base, but also the tensile and pressure steps are adjusted, while only spring base and pressure stage are adjusted. The whole thing can be subdivided into solo and society operation. What sounds a bit complicated initially, one has done quickly after some tours, and one may assume that only a few copies without the additional packages will go over the counter.

Determination as Streetfighter

In optically, the R can barely deny the relationship to the RR, but BMW has waved a lot to prepare the naked on her determination as Streetfighter. Striking change: The engine was a new character. He performs nominally about 30 hp less than in the RR, he brings more power in lower speed ranges. He is therefore less and limits at 11.900 tours off. This creates about 260 km / h Topspeed, which is completely sufficient – on a unmocked one does not actually drive faster.

In practice, the S 1000 R develops enormous forces in the middle speed range, which may be channeled by the electronics. They are supported by a slightly shorter translation and the perfectly working gear with the wonderful switchgautomat, which makes the pulling of the right fixed clutch unnecessary when switching up.

Aggressive sound

The attention of the environment can be achieved in the same acoustic. Because the aggressive engine sound is – even with series exhaust – noticeably louder than the RR, sounds challenging and cheeky for BMW conditions. In sliding operation in front of the curve, the engine exhaust composite brabs wild. The curves to which one constructs so, thanks to the many technique, but above all due to the balance of the chassis, the effectively packaging brakes (from the RR) and the Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa little problems. The R can be handy to line, which follows you mercilessly exactly before the twitching the right hand ensures the enormous propulsion that lurks behind the 160 hp. The upright seating and the wide handlebars favor the excellent controllability of the Munich.

Instruments badly readable

In comparison to the RR newly drawn, the fittings, which now also include a fuel gauge and otherwise provide all important information to the display of the heating handles. For certain lighting conditions and for large pilots, however, it is badly read on the edges. Otherwise, the operation of landing gear, heating grips and cruise control itself is explained and easily executed with the thumb of the respective hand.

Purely visually, one or the other is likely to bother the slightly wrong look of the two headlights; You may comfort themselves that you do not see them as a driver. And can fully focus on cornering, at the end of which we measured an average consumption of 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers.

  1. Attracted, soft, restrained …
    So the headline could also be if you do not like the tester writing above … permanently moved in the border area. In addition to a fantastic chassis, this vehicle offers quite tourist qualities, if you do not want to unwind 600 km in a piece on the highway. The cladding protects up to 140 km / h in front of the wind (with the accessory shield it is even faster), the velvety engine allows wonderful worshiping, the electronic damper setting ironing bad road coverings smooth and the optional luggage allows tours up to 2 weeks. What is started with the S1000R, ultimately the upper half of the motorcycle decides. The ambulance can be easily effected with less performance with less performance … Good trip!

  2. Streetfighter
    Great. The machine will soon come to me more frequently on winding highways with 120 on the wrong side. From time to time you will be next to the street, just behind the shield "Dangerous bend" See velvet ambulance.
