BMW S 1000 R 2025

BMW S 1000 R 2025

The BMW S 1000 R remains an uncompromising roadster for sporty, ambitious road riders in 2025. With noticeably more power, improved reponsiveness and finely tuned electronics, it is more agile and versatile than ever. Particularly in the lower and medium speed range, it impresses with its powerful acceleration and high rideability. The combination of well-balanced ergonomics, modern design and sophisticated Advanced Rider Assistance Systems makes it an all-round successful package for sporty everyday use - and at a much more attractive price compared to the M 1000 R. Anyone looking for a powerful naked bike with modern technology and distinct riding pleasure will find the S 1000 R an excellent choice.

Powerful acceleration in the low and medium rev range

Finely tuned riding aids, including standard MSR and optimised DTC

Automatic gearshift as standard, now also with improved function

Optional DDC suspension for high ride comfort and sporty precision

Powerful braking performance with ABS Pro, even when leaning

Improved ergonomics thanks to new short-stroke throttle grip

PRO riding modes only optional, not programmable as standard

DDC suspension only available at extra cost

Power somewhat more restrained in the upper rev range

No winglets - slightly less stability at very high speeds
