NEW SENSATION
After being previewed back in November, BMW’s latest S 1000 R arrived in Australia this past June. The latest version of BMW’s naked sibling to the fully-faired S 1000 RR comes to our shores claiming new levels of performance and capability, as well as enhanced standard equipment levels.
Four variants are available across the S 1000 R lineup for 2021 – base, Sport, Race and M Sport – all of which benefit from a selected number of changes, including some lifted from the S 1000 RR.
Key upgrades over the 2020 model include a lighter drivetrain, frame and swingarm, improved torque and wider engine speed range, along with the addition of engine drag torque control for the first time.
