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.

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.

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".
