Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

BMW S 1000 R 2017

BMW's universal talent also got better in 2017. The BMW offers the widest range of use and an exceptionally cultivated engine, a perfect gearbox and the best shift assistant in the field. It drives simply but quickly. You sit rather low in the vehicle.

Best shift assistant in the nakedbike league

Universal motorbike without any real weaknesses

Powerful engine, awesome sound, great handling

On the racetrack a slightly too inactive riding position

Very wide range of equipment and accessory options

Very powerful brakes

Semi-active suspension makes setup fiddling superfluous

Original equipment tyres not the finest premium goods

Inactive seating position on racetrack
