The BMW S 1000 R is a motorcycle made by Bayerische Motoren Werke . The naked bike was presented on November 5, 2013 at the EICMA two-wheeler fair in Milan . Sales began on March 15, 2014. The motorcycle will be assembled at the BMW plant in Berlin in Spandau .
The lightly disguised motorcycle with the factory code K47 is technically based on the superbike BMW S 1000 RR and is being marketed by BMW as the “Dynamic Roadster”.
construction
Compared to the basic model BMW S 1000 RR , of which the roadster has adopted 75% identical parts , the nominal output has been reduced by 24 kW (33 hp) by changing the engine configuration. The camshaft profiles were modified and the engine management adapted. The torque in the lower and middle speed range has been increased significantly through modified intake ports in the cylinder head . In contrast to the RR, there are no variable intake manifolds in the airbox . Up to a speed of 7500 min −1 , the engine generates 10 Newton meters more torque than the RR. The valves are made of steel instead of titanium like the RR. Due to the higher weight of the valves, the maximum speed was from 14,200 to 12,000 min -1 lowered.
Instead of a full fairing, the S 1000 R has a lamp mask in the style of the Aprilia Tuono, referred to by BMW as a “split face”, tight side panels and a front spoiler. A higher and less cranked tubular handlebar made of light metal results in a more relaxed posture for the driver . The fork was flattened by 0.8 degrees, which lengthened the trail by 5 mm. With an additional pair of links in the final drive chain, the rear axle could be moved back and the wheelbase increased by 22 mm. Both measures stabilize straight-line stability. A steering damper is installed as standard. Due to the more extensive standard equipment, the empty weight of the ready-to-drive machine increased by 4 to 207 kg despite the lack of full fairing.
drive
The BMW S 1000 R has a transversely installed in- line engine inclined 32 degrees forwards . The four-cylinder engine with two overhead camshafts and a capacity of 999 cc has a bore of 80 mm, a stroke of 49.7 mm and a compression ratio of 12.0: 1. The two inlet and two exhaust valves of the water- and oil-cooled four-stroke engine are Operated by a carbon- coated rocker arm. The crankshaft has the usual crank pin offset of 180 degrees. The engine delivers 121 kW (165 hp) at 11,000 min -1 , the maximum torque of 114 Nm at a speed of 9250 min -1 achieved.
The motorcycle accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 261 km / h.
Power transmission
In the primary drive from the engine to the mechanically operated anti-hopping clutch , the power is transmitted via gears. In the secondary drive, an O-ring chain drives the rear wheel. The straight-tooth gearbox with dog clutch has six gears.
Mechatronics
The engine management system known as BMS-X has a cylinder- selective knock control . The computer systems of Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA), anti-lock braking system (ABS) and automatic stability control ( English Automatic Stability Control, ASC ) are networked with one another via a CAN bus . A drive-by-wire converts the throttle commands electronically into the corresponding throttle position . The starter battery has a capacity of 9 Ah and supplies the electric starter . The alternator has a nominal electrical output of 350 watts.
Fuel supply
The fuel tank holds 17.5 liters, of which 4 liters are in reserve. BMW gives the average fuel consumption of 5.6 liters per 100 km at a speed of 120 km / h. Ralf Schütze from Motortalk determined a test consumption of 6.7 liters per 100 km, which corresponds to a theoretical range of 260 km.
The manufacturer recommends the use of unleaded gasoline with a knock resistance of at least 95 octane . The fuel-air mixture is formed by electronic fuel injection. The exhaust aftertreatment with two regulated three-way catalytic converters lowers the pollutants below the limit values of the Euro 4 emissions standard . The four exhaust manifolds of the exhaust system open on the right-hand side into a short rear silencer made of titanium with interference pipe and acoustic flaps.
landing gear
The chassis is built on an aluminum composite bridge frame weighing 11.98 kg and has a two- armed swing arm made of cast aluminum with an indirectly hinged mono spring strut. The front wheel is guided by an upside-down telescopic fork with a 46 mm standpipe diameter and 120 mm travel .
A double disc brake with four-piston caliper from the Italian supplier Brembo is installed on the front wheel, and a disc brake with a single-piston floating caliper on the rear. The standard anti-lock braking system acts on both brakes. The motorcycle decelerates from 100 km / h to a standstill with an average of 9.3 m / s² and requires a braking distance of 41.5 meters.
A vehicle dynamics control ( English Automatic Stability Control, ASC ) compares the speed of the two wheels, this is significantly different from one another, then prevents a traction slip control by gas withdrawal from breaking of the rear wheel during acceleration. Compared to the RR model, the footrests are 23 mm lower, resulting in a more relaxed knee angle.
Market positioning
The base price at the start of sales is 12,800 euros in the countries of the European currency union and 15,000 US dollars in the United States. This means that the basic version of the R is over 4000 euros cheaper than the RR. In March 2019, the basic price of the S 1000 R is 13,950 euros.
In the class of undisguised superbikes, the S 1000 R has an above-average engine with a rated output of 160 hp from a displacement of one liter.
Competitive models are the Ducati Streetfighter 848 with 125 PS, the Kawasaki Z1000 (1043 cm³, 142 PS), the Honda CB 1000 R (998 cm³, 125 PS), the Triumph Speed Triple 1050 (1050 cm³, 150 PS) and the Yamaha FZ1 (998 cm³, 150 PS) and the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR (1077 cm³, 175 PS). According to the Handelsblatt , BMW is attacking the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers in their core business with a competitive entry-level price and eye-catching appearance and is choosing a strategy of high unit numbers instead of a high profit margin .

Reviews
BMW chief designer Edgar Heinrich countered the criticism of the asymmetrical lamp design with the words: "We are the face in the crowd."
“When turning and maneuvering, the uncomfortably small steering angle is noticeable. The new display next to the large rev counter with pointer offers everything you want, but seems confusing. Nevertheless, the R is the more suitable for country roads and everyday use, the more comfortable and therefore probably the more suitable S 1000 for the vast majority of motorcyclists. "
“Like every new BMW in-line quad, this one celebrates a certain grain of sound. If a Japanese four-cylinder is a brown bread, this is Pumpernickel. It roars. It babbles. It roars. The short gear ratio pushes the engine in a way you wouldn't expect from the seemingly boring performance data. The incline ride is a poem, the chassis wonderfully neutral, but with residual edges, liveliness. "
“About 30 hp less than 'open' - it has never been easier to get over it than in this case. In the case of the BMW S 1000 R, you are happy to accept it. There are practically no disadvantages, only advantages: there is still more than enough power available, acceleration and pulling power are even significantly stronger, the seating position is much more relaxed - and on top of that the price is astonishingly cheap, especially by BMW standards. "
“The close relationship to the 'Double-R' is obvious from every perspective, even if the look has been reduced to the essentials: Instead of full paneling, the 'Solo-R' has a lamp mask in the style of the Aprilia Tuono, tight side panels and a front spoiler. That puts the technology on display, and the classic sports silencer mutated into a stub silencer. In line with the company's design philosophy, the new one also features the split face. "
“The fact that 33 horsepower has been lost compared to the RR engine more than makes up for the gain in torque at low engine speeds. The device brings endless power to the road right from the start; the front wheel is only held electronically on the asphalt. Her weight of 210 kilos feels light when rolling; at the same time, they are as stable as lead on a shelf in curves. Nothing has to be forced or guided in an inclined position here, with the S 1000 R the coordination is right. "
