Pure Performance. Total Control—The 2015 BMW S 1000 R
The lines of the S 1000 R are striking at first sight: aggressive tail-up / nose-down design, distinctive split face and the characteristic gills. The "R" shows much less of its sharp-edged, muscular skin. Some people call it naked - we just call it focused on the essentials. Power is nothing without control. The S 1000 R is fitted with Race ABS and ASC (automatic stability control) as standard. This duo ensures excellent acceleration and deceleration figures at threshold level. They can be activated and deactivated during travel, making for uninterrupted riding fun.
2015 BMW S 1000 R: The Naked Beast Unleashed
From the moment you fire up the 2015 BMW S 1000 R, you know you’re in for something wild. As someone who’s taken it through its paces, this naked sportbike is all about raw power and razor-sharp precision. It’s the kind of bike that demands your attention and rewards you with an unforgettable ride every time.
Adrenaline-Fueled Performance: The S 1000 R’s heart is its 999cc inline-four engine, derived from the legendary S 1000 RR superbike. With 160 horsepower screaming at the top end, this machine doesn’t just accelerate—it explodes forward. Twist the throttle, and you’re catapulted into a world of blistering speed. Whether you’re ripping through the gears on an open stretch or carving up twisty backroads, the power delivery is smooth yet ferocious. This isn’t just a bike; it’s a thrill ride on steroids.
Precision Handling: What’s most impressive about the S 1000 R is how it handles all that power. The lightweight chassis, combined with top-tier suspension, makes the bike feel incredibly nimble. BMW’s Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and ABS Pro ensure that even when you’re pushing the limits, you’re in complete control. The bike corners with laser accuracy, and the brakes offer jaw-dropping stopping power. It’s confidence-inspiring and rewarding for riders who crave precision. This isn’t just a bike; it’s a surgical tool for the road.
Aggressive Naked Style: The S 1000 R’s aggressive naked styling perfectly reflects its attitude. Stripped down, with sharp lines and a menacing stance, it looks like it’s ready to attack the asphalt. The minimal fairing lets you feel the wind rushing past, adding to the visceral riding experience. This isn’t just a bike; it’s a statement of unapologetic speed.
Rider-Centric Technology: BMW didn’t skimp on tech, either. The S 1000 R comes equipped with multiple riding modes—Rain, Road, and Dynamic—so you can tailor the ride to suit conditions and your mood. With quick-shifter capabilities, you get seamless upshifts for those aggressive track-like sessions. This isn’t just a bike; it’s a high-tech weapon for the road.
Comfort Meets Aggression: For a bike with such a fierce personality, the ergonomics are surprisingly comfortable. The upright seating position and slightly relaxed peg placement let you ride hard without punishing your body, making it as comfortable on the street as it is on the track. This isn’t just a bike; it’s a machine that lets you go fast without sacrificing comfort.
