The agile behaviour tempts the pilot to a very ambitious pace, no disadvantage for the morning round on Sunday. On the trip to the North Cape with mum, however, it is relatively exhausting.

Excellent sound

sporty tuned movement

appropriate ergonomics

balanced seating position

sophisticated looks.

Windshield comes menacingly close when first mounted

wasteful use of electronics - difficult to understand.

BMW S 1000 XR 2016

BMW S 1000 XR 2016

The BMW S 1000 XR is a superbly crafted performance motorbike with a proud pedigree that shines with impeccable touring characteristics and solid touring capability. A wide range of accessories either trim the bike even more in the direction of sport or equip it for the great journey. With ABS and ASC as standard, you're always on the safe side and always relaxed thanks to the pleasant ergonomics. Just don't misunderstand the XR as an enduro for on/off-road, but see it as the evolution of a sport tourer.
