For the 2017 model year, BMW‘s S 1000 RR, the S 1000 R roadster and the S 1000 XR adventure sports model have undergone several revisions.

To start off, the new S 1000 RR supersports bike has caught up with all EU4 requirements while adding DTC as standard and ABS Pro as an optional extra. It also features a standard passenger seat cover, with the optional passenger package available free of charge.

A new Granite Grey metallic/Blackstorm metallic color combo is now available, joining the likes of Racing Red non-metallic/Lightwhite non-metallic and BMW Motorsport (Lupine Blue metallic/Lightwhite non-metallic/Racing Red non-metallic) – with slightly new designs.

The S 1000 R roadster on the other hand has seen its power output increased from 118 kW / 160 HP to 121 kW / 165 HP at 11,000 rpm, while losing around 2kg (4.4 lbs), now reaching 205 kg (452 lbs) unladen. Its features include the standard HP titanium rear silencer, vibration-free handlebars, new frame structure with lighter main frame rear section, ABS Pro, Light HP forged wheels, Design Option Wheels and HP Shift Assistant Pro as optional extras, and improved readability for the Multifunction instrument cluster.

There are also new colors for the S 1000 R, such as Racing Red non-metallic/Blackstorm metallic, Catalano Grey non-metallic and BMW Motorsport (Lupine Blue metallic/Lightwhite non-metallic/Racing Red non-metallic).

Finally, the new BMW S 1000 XR features many of the S 1000 R’s characteristics such as EU4 adaptation, the same increased output and vibration-free handlebars. However, BMW did increase the maximum permissible weight from 434 kg (956 lbs) to 444 kg (979 lbs), thus increasing the payload as well by 10 kg (22 lbs).

There’s is also a new color variant named Ocean Blue metallic matte, joining other well-established color concepts such as Racing Red non-metallic and Lightwhite non-metallic / Granite Grey metallic matt / Racing Red non-metallic.
