Following news of the launch of the 2017 BMW Motorrad G 310 R, the Munich firm has unveiled two more new models in the Malaysian market- the 2017 BMW Motorrad S 1000 R at RM92,900, and the 2017 BMW Motorrad R 1200 GS Adventure at RM116,900. Prices include GST, but exclude insurance.
In the litre-class is BMW’s 2017 S 1000 R naked sports bike, which is now fully Euro 4 compliant with its updated 999 cc inline four-cylinder power plant that pumps out 165 hp at 11,000 rpm and 114 Nm of torque at 9,250 rpm. This is an increase of 5 hp over the previous version’s 160 hp, and weighs 2 kg less, dropping to 205kg from 207 kg.
Coming as standard equipment is a HP – High Performance in BMW Motorrad parlance – titanium end-can that gives “an even more potent sound.” Also standard are vibration-decoupled handlebars and re-designed upper triple clamp, isolating the rider from the engine vibration for better handling, comfort and pleasure.
The 2017 BMW S 1000 R at RM92,900 also comes with two ride modes – Road and Rain – as well as automatic stability control (ASC) as standard, along with ABS. Two colour schemes are on offer, which are Racing Red/Blackstorm and Catalano Grey.
As the de facto standard by which all dual-purpose adventure bikes are judged, the 2017 BMW Motorrad R 1200 GS Adventure has been updated with a judder damper on the transmission output shaft to reduce driveline vibration. Also revised are the selector drum actuator, transmission shafts and shaft bearing.
Now coming in a “Triple Black” finish, the R 1200 GS Adventure features a central fuel tank cover, storage compartment lid and front mudguard in Blackstorm and fuel tank side panels in Dark Slate. Meanwhile, the the frame and sub-frame are coated in Agate Grey, with the engine, gearbox and swinging arm in Black, complemented by a black seat with the “GS” logo embossed on the passenger seat.
