The wait is finally over! The new BMW S 1000 R has been launched in India, and it’s already creating a buzz among superbike lovers. Bookings are now open at all BMW Motorrad dealerships across the country.
BMW S 1000 R Price in India
BMW Motorrad has priced the BMW S 1000 R at ₹19.90 lakh (ex-showroom). The price includes GST and compensation cess but does not cover RTO charges, road tax, or insurance.
But here’s the twist the government of India has recently revised GST rates on superbikes. That could make this hyper naked roadster more expensive for buyers. Which makes us wonder, did BMW Motorrad time the launch of the S 1000 R in India consensually amid this GST change?
The S 1000 R – Design That Demands Attention
The BMW S 1000 R is not just about speed. It’s about presence. Especially, as the roadster flaunts a split-face LED headlamp, aggressive body lines, and an all-new rear setup with integrated tail lights and indicators.
Color options add even more flair:
- Blackstorm Metallic for the classic look.
- Style Sport (Bluefire/Mugiallo Yellow) for bold riders.
- M Motorsport (Light White Uni) for track-inspired performance lovers.
Engine and Performance – Pure Adrenaline
At its heart, it carries a 999cc inline four-cylinder engine. Further, it churns out 170 hp and 114 Nm of torque. That means 0-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and a top speed capped at 250 km/h.
Compared to the older model, power is up by 5 hp. Add to that the optional M Endurance chain, and riders get sharper performance with low maintenance.
Technology and Features
The S 1000 R is packed with advanced rider tech, including:
- 6.5-inch TFT display with smartphone connectivity.
- Multiple ride modes: Rain, Road, and Dynamic.
- ABS Pro with Dynamic Traction Control.
- Quick-shifter, USB charging, and Hill Start Control.
- Full LED lighting with Headlight Pro.
Riders can also pick optional packages—Dynamic, Comfort, or M Sport—for a more personalized ride experience.
Warranty and Peace of Mind
Like every BMW Motorrad bike, the BMW S 1000 R comes with a standard three-year unlimited-kilometre warranty. Moreover, riders can extend it up to five years. Plus, 24×7 Roadside Assistance ensures support anytime, anywhere.
Final Take
The new BMW S 1000 R is bold, fast, and packed with technology. But with the GST hike in place, owning one could get pricier. The real question remains was BMW Motorrad’s timing for this launch strategic, or just coincidental?
