What are you planning today? How about a test drive on the new BMW S1000 XR? Please swallow tranquilizers beforehand and then urgently plan exercises to lower blood pressure. The S1000 XR is not a normal motorcycle. It is a grenade. Genuine.

Fasten your seatbelts, please.

The new BMW S1000 XR costs 19,480 euros naked, but a lot of money for a two-wheeler, but - let's anticipate this - is worth every penny. At least for those who like power and motorcycles with 4-cylinder engines of the velvety kind. Ole and Dietmar drove a fully equipped S1000 XR and couldn't even begin to ride out the blatant performance...
 
Our test bike from Bergmann & Söhne in Neumünster looks really chic in the color variant "Gravityblue metallic" and costs almost fully equipped 22,345 euros including additional costs. But we also like the other two colors. Unfortunately, the color "Lightwhite uni" is only available with the M package. Not that we have anything against the M package with forged wheels, Akra and lots of make-up, but that costs an extra 3,120 euros. Ouch.
