An easy bike to predict for a 2021 debut, the BMW S1000R has just debuted from the German brand. As such, the 2021 BMW S1000R is the streetfighter cousin to the current generation BMW S1000RR<\/a>, which means it boasts a new engine and chassis.<\/p>\n

Both of those elements come from the superbike, but the BMW S1000R sees its inline-four engine tuned for better street performance, rather than outright track speed.<\/p>\n

As such, there is 162hp (121 kW) on tap, and 84 lbs\u2022ft (114 Nm) of torque, with 59 lbs\u2022ft available at 3,000 rpm. If those numbers sound familiar to you, they should. They’re the same performance figures as the outgoing S1000R model.<\/p>\n

BMW Motorrad has also fiddled with the gearbox on the S1000R, making 4th, 5th, and 6th gears taller, which helps with engine noise, engine vibrations, and fuel consumption while cruising.<\/p>\n

The Germans say that over 10 lbs have been cut off the S1000R, with a claimed wet weight of 439 lbs (199 kg) for the 2021 model. Getting crazy with it, that weight figure can be reduced even further with BMW’s “M Package” for the S1000R, which can add forge or carbon fiber wheels to the motorcycle.<\/p>\n
