BMW S 1000 XR 2020

The BMW S 1000 XR offers a pleasant touring bike on the basis of a super sports bike. Sounds like a compromise - but rides like a spot-on development. The motorbike is practical and mature. Wind and weather protection are very good, the integration from the mobile phone is world class and the engine is simply always a joy to ride. The chassis adapts well to the load condition, but it never becomes sensitive and really comfortable. The seat comfort is good, but the knee angle becomes a bit acute on long tours. Nevertheless, this is a great motorbike for sporty riding, but also for long distances.

The Hammer engine is certainly one of the most fundamental elements of the new 1390 Super Duke R. There is no other manufacturer that can achieve this level of performance with a V2 engine while at the same time running smoothly and complying with all emissions standards. The engine alone guarantees pure riding pleasure and enables power wheelies up to third gear with good modulation. This means that the Beast has actually been sharpened up again and offers enormous fun on the race track as well as on the road, even if you have to be extremely restrained there to avoid having to give up your licence forever.
