Gallery: Have you seen the new BMW S 1000 R?

BMW’s large-displacement sports bike line-up has received updates for 2025, and the S 1000 R has also been updated in its aesthetics, performance and equipment.

Unveiled last week, the bike is powered by an updated 999cc four-cylinder engine capable of producing 170bhp. (5 hp more than the previous model) and 114 Nm of torque.

The chassis is a bridge type, made of aluminum, with USD telescopic forks, adjustable at the front for preload, rebound and spring compression, and a central rear shock absorber. Both have electronically adjustable damping.

The new BMW S 1000 R stands out with its dual LED headlight, optimized gearshift assistant, under-seat USB-C charging port, short license plate holder and intelligent emergency call system (E-Call). Traction control and engine braking are standard.

There is also new special equipment such as a luggage plate, passenger seat, steering wheel end mirrors and a low tint windshield. Three paint options are available: Blackstorm Black Metallic on the base version, Bluefire Blue/Mugiallo Yellow on the Sport version, and a Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport option available in the M package.
