BMW S 1000 XR 2015

The BMW S 1000 XR does its job as a sporty touring machine very well. 160 hp and 228 kilos ready to ride already hint at agile handling, but in the saddle it looks even better. Just like the naked heavyweight S 1000 R, the XR cannot deny its kinship to the S 1000 R superbike. Added to this is an impeccably comfortable riding position and a wide handlebar that makes zipping through hairpin bends a pleasure. The electronics inspire unrestricted confidence and the brakes can be applied as if on a super sports bike. Only the screeching four-cylinder exhaust noise and the vibrations in the mid-range don't really suit a tourer. Otherwise, the S 1000 XR is completely convincing.
