Though having replaced its predecessor the first generation S 1000 XR it's completely different from it. Following the new norms, it has a BS6 compliant engine with a displacement of 999cc, maximum power of 165HP at 11000 rpm, and maximum torque of 114Nm at 9250rpm.
Coming to ratings and reviews, one can be assured of getting a lot of attention on the roads because of the huge brand value and having an above-average look of the vehicle. The engine is refined and quite powerful. The mileage is a decent 20kmpl for a sports bike with a full tank capacity of 20 L and that makes 400Km to run in one go. It has an electronic injection fuel delivery.
The company has launched it as an adventure bike ready to discover new places and always keep demanding for best in us. The bike is available in two shades of ice grey and racing red, these two colors seem to suit the bike very well and give it the decent outlook it deserves and also shows what it is capable of.
The bike is 226Kg on the road which is 10Kg less than its predecessor. BMW asks the world to not make concessions and demand all because BMW stands for delivering the very best among all. It has been priced around 20 lacs which isn't much for sports enthusiasts but the sales and service of BMW remains a concern as isn't well established in India yet and hence after-sales service would be an important issue.
