Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 R 2015
With the BMW S 1000 R, you notice both the close relationship to the S 1000 RR superbike and the endeavour to equip the machine with a high degree of comfort for country roads and everyday use. Accordingly, the 1000cc four-cylinder power unit is brute and yet easily controllable, and the seating position is correspondingly sporty and comfortable. The fact that the S 1000 R is one of the most affordable power naked bikes is surprising and very pleasing, although one must not get hold of the list of optional extras - because thanks to the many irresistible features, it will certainly be more expensive.
BMW S 1000 XR 2017
S 1000 XR, med sin Supersport-motor på nu 165 hk i kombination med geometrin och komforten hos en Bigenduro, är en av de snabbaste motorcyklarna på allmän väg. Det omfattande tillbehörsprogrammet gör den ännu snabbare eller ännu bekvämare, allt efter behov. Med en sadelhöjd på 840 mm och en lång grenbåge är den dock endast delvis lämplig för mindre förare. Den 790 mm höga sadelhöjden råder dock bot på detta. Bromsarna är lika starka som motorn, XR övertygar med precision och framför allt stabilitet. Trots den galna prestandan känner du dig trygg och säker, precis som du förväntar dig av en BMW.
