Pros and Cons in comparison
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.

Absolutely recommended for riders who like sporty riding but also don't want to forego the advantages of a touring vehicle. Whether GT or standard version is a question of taste: if you like to accelerate, mainly ride on good roads and are comfortable with a firm chassis, the standard Tracer 9 will serve you very well. Those who would like to have a bit of comfort on top and also ride longer tours from time to time will appreciate the comfort and additional equipment of the GT.
