BMW S 1000 R 2016

Com a BMW S 1000 R, nota-se tanto a estreita relação com a superbike S 1000 RR como o esforço para equipar a máquina com um elevado grau de conforto para estradas rurais e utilização diária.

Em suma, a nova Z1000 é uma evolução bem sucedida da sua antecessora. A falta de controlo de tração é mais um problema de marketing do que um problema para os clientes finais.
