BMW S 1000 XR 2017

BMW S 1000 XR 2017

The S 1000 XR, with its now 165 hp Supersport power unit combined with the geometry and comfort of a Bigenduro, is one of the fastest motorbikes on the public road. The extensive range of accessories makes it even faster or even more comfortable, as required. However, with a seat height of 840 mm and a long crotch arch, it is only conditionally suitable for smaller riders. The 790 mm high seat, however, remedies this. The brakes are as strong as the engine, the XR convinces with precision and above all stability. Despite the insane performance, you feel well and safe, as you would expect from a BMW.
