BMW M 1000 XR: The unreasonable travelling monster The BMW M 1000 XR is the bike that nobody needs but everyone wants. This oversized touring motorbike combines the comfort of a long-distance machine with the power of a superbike. On the motorway, it feels as stable as if it were riding on rails, even at speeds that dwarf the speed limit. But the real miracle is the braking system, which offers a deceleration performance that is otherwise only known from thoroughbred racing machines. When you make yourself small and open up the throttle, the M 1000 XR becomes a roaring beast that leaves you with a wide grin.
