The 2025 BMW S 1000 R represents a significant leap forward in the sport-naked motorcycle segment. Building upon its predecessor's strengths, this new model boasts a refined inline-four cylinder engine that delivers exhilarating performance while maintaining Euro 5+ compliance. The revised engine mapping and intake port geometry contribute to a power boost, now reaching an impressive 170bhp at 11,000rpm. Complementing this enhanced power output is a shorter final-drive ratio, resulting in quicker acceleration and a more exhilarating riding experience.
In terms of electronics, the 2025 S 1000 R is equipped with a comprehensive suite of cutting-edge technology. BMW's latest M Quick-Action Throttle ensures precise throttle response, while the Optimized Shift Assistant enables seamless clutchless upshifts and downshifts. Furthermore, the inclusion of Drag Torque Control (MSR) enhances stability during aggressive downshifts and engine braking. The motorcycle also features a configurable "Engine Brake" function with four adjustable settings, allowing riders to tailor engine braking to their preferences.
