BMW launched the S 1000 RR in 2009 and immediately changed the litre class: 193 hp from a compact inline-four, race-style electronics and a price that undercut Italian exotica. It has been BMW Motorrad’s halo sportbike since.
2012, 2015 and 2019 were the big revisions. 2019 brought a new engine, a 2.9-second-class 0–100 claim, winglets later in the cycle, and a ShiftCam-style head on later years. The M package and M RR sit above the standard RR with carbon wheels and a higher output.
Seat height is about 824–832 mm; wet weight around 197 kg on recent standard bikes. The S 1000 R is the naked sibling; the XR is the sports-tourer. Compare year-matched RRs with the R1, ZX-10R and Panigale V4.
