Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 R 2026

The BMW S 1000 R will remain an uncompromising roadster for sporty, ambitious road riders in 2025. The BMW S 1000 R 2025 is not a bike for posers or warmists.

BMW R 1300 R 2026

The BMW R 1300 R is a bike that is defined less by bare numbers than by the feeling it conveys. With 145 Horsepower, 149 Newton meters and 239 kg, it has strong data, but its true strength lies in the overall package: a superior engine, stable riding performance and a mature, relaxed character. It is not an aggressive sports machine, but a roadster for riders who appreciate torque, comfort and presence - and that is precisely where its appeal lies.

Very characterful boxer engine (149 Newton metres of torque)

Confident, stable riding performance

High level of comfort with 810 Millimeter seat height

Versatile transmission with ASA option
