BMW S1000r first look review by KNOX

Last week BMW Announced the all new 2021 BMW S1000r, one of the most highly anticipated super naked motorcycles of the last few years. Riders worldwide have been waiting for this bike and hoping that a new BMW S1000r would see a renewed battle for the coveted SuperNaked Crown. Have they done enough, well lets have a look and see whats what...

The S1000r has a new S1000rr derived engine that retaining retains the 165hp the old model had, and the torque is more or less the same at 84ftlb. The new engine is now Euro 5 compliant and overall, the bikes weight has been dropped by 6.5kg to 199kg wet, with an extra reduction of 4.8kg available should you want to go for the M package with the carbon wheels.  According to BMW, this is around 15kg lighter than any of the direct competitors. There are also some revised gear ratios in 4th 5th and 6th gears that are longer and designed to reduce noise and fuel consumption.

The 2021 BMW S1000 r features a new chassis derive from the S1000rr, improved electronics with a 6 axis IMU and styling updates.

While down on power in comparison to some of the other competition, I still I think this could be a real contender with a combination of good power, great electronics and light weight, and we cant wait to swing a leg over one!
