BMW S1000R – new naked bike based on the S1000RR

This is the new BMW S 1000 R, a new naked bike derived from the S 1000 RR superbike. Fairings have been removed, and the engine has been reworked for better low- and mid-range torque, losing about 2,000 rpm of revs in the process.

The 999cc four-cylinder engine does 158 hp at 11,000 rpm and 112 Nm of torque at 9,250 rpm in the S1000R, compared to the S1000RR’s 193 hp at 13,000 rpm and 112 Nm at 9,750 rpm.

The engine produces 9.5 Nm more torque than the S1000RR’s below 7,500 rpm. Cylinder heads, cam profiles and engine management software have been tweaked to produce the changes. The new tuning should be better for street usage.

The bike isn’t really as ‘naked’ as most naked bikes – there’s still various panels flanking the power plants, so it’s more like a lady wearing a skimpy bikini than one who is completely naked.

    This is BMW’s answer to the new crop of super nakeds namely the new KTM Superduke 1290, Kawasaki Z1000, Ducati Monster 1200s along side Aprilia Tuono APRC and MV Agusta Brutale 1090RR. Time for some Supernaked Shootouts!

    I wonder if it is normal to want more than one bike. Some do it, but I don’t really like to compare if sport bike is better or naked is better or motard is better. I just want them all.

    I want an Ural too. For carrying durians.

    Technology from M Power and the HP4 boast an excellent electronic system on bike ever built from bavaria.The only european bike that close to perfection againts bmw is only MV Agusta i can think of,The only Japanese bike that can follow closely is the latest Kawasaki ZX10R which also boast Ohlins electronic steering damper and upgraded traction control..HP4 stock without restriction already can hit 306kmh and takes around 2.7s for 0-100kmh timings…Too bad ive downgrade my Hayabusa 1300 for more sensible Yamaha XJ600N for work purpose
