BMW S 1000 XR 2022

The BMW S 1000 XR offers a pleasant touring motorbike on the basis of a supersports bike. It sounds like a compromise - but it rides like a precisely targeted development. The bike is practical and mature. Wind and weather protection are very good, the integration of the mobile phone is well tested and intuitive and the engine is simply always a joy to ride. Although the suspension adapts well to the load, it is never sensitive or really comfortable. The seating comfort is good, but the knee angle becomes a little sharp when touring for long distances. Nevertheless, it's a great bike for sporty riding but also for long distances.

Riding modes change reponsiveness in practice

great revvy four-cylinder engine with a wide usable torque curve

well-balanced vehicle - even with a pillion - thanks to electronic suspension with automatic load condition detection

good brakes

Knee angle a bit tight for tall people when touring long distances

suspension does not dampen sensitively enough - no really comfortable setup possible

high fuel consumption
