After rewriting the superbike rule book with its award-winning S1000RR, BMW decided to celebrate in the best way possible: by releasing a naked version for the street. Dubbed the “S1000R,” the model took everything that riders loved about the Bavarian liter bike, ditched the fairings, and added a set of straight bars to make it more comfortable for the road.
But here’s the thing: the changes involved more than looks alone; BMW also thoroughly reworked the engine — switching up the cylinder head, redesigning the ports, and modifying the cam profiles, as well as fitting it with different mapping, ignition coils and camshaft sensors — to optimize the bike for daily use. In practice, this meant that the S1000R’s inline-four was slightly tamer than its race-replica sibling, good for 160hp and 83lb-ft of torque. Additionally, BMW tuned the bike for an earlier power delivery, giving it more low-to-midrange grunt.
Per Motorcycle News: “It still has the muscle to wheelie off the throttle in third gear and will go faster than your neck muscles will stand for any length of time. But for normal riding the motor is nice and grunty, the throttle is smooth and its electronics, both before and after its update work well, aren’t overly intrusive and can be easily adjusted on the move via the switchgear buttons.”
Manufactured March 2016, this example is VIN: WB10D1204GZ696890. The seller purchased the bike March 2024 from MAX BMW in New Milford, Connecticut, and states, “Previously had a 2015 BMW S1000R and I loved that bike. Owned it from new and sold it with 30K miles on it. Wanted to start over with a new project. Rode a bunch of bikes in this super naked class and ended up coming back to the brand and this model. Reason for the sale is a new job that demands more time and attention than I can spend focusing on maintaining and enjoying this wonderful bike. Also raising a young family which has riding sidelined at the moment. Wifey has always been a fan of the hobby and my love for it so thats a plus!”
The odometer shows 13,523 miles.
