Rider Profile

Best ForBuilt for experienced, skilled riders. Its 205hp and razor-sharp responses demand respect; not a first bike, though rider aids offer a safety net for the confident.
PurposeA pure sport superbike for track days, canyon carving and spirited road riding where outright speed and precision are the priority.
Rider FitAggressive, committed riding posture with clip-ons and rearsets, 831mm seat and firm sport suspension. Light 197kg wet, compact and racy.
CharacterA ferocious, high-revving inline-four with electronic wizardry and MotoGP-derived aero. Explosive, focused and thrilling at the very top of its class.
Not Ideal ForBeginners, comfort-seekers, two-up tourers or anyone wanting relaxed daily commuting. No off-road ability whatsoever.

2013 BMW S 1000 RR Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2013 BMW S 1000 RR, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.

⚠ Safety Recalls (1)

STRUCTURE:MOTORCYCLE:KICKSTAND/CENTER STAND Dec 2012 · 12V585000

BMW is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 S 1000 RR motorcycles manufactured September 2011, through December 2012. Due to a manufacturing fault, the side-stand attachment bolts could start to loosen. The loosening of the side-stand bolts could cause the stand to separate from the frame of the motorcycle.

Risk: A separation of the side-stand could cause the motorcycle to fall, causing a risk of injury.

Remedy: BMW will notify owners, and dealers will clean the sidestand mounting plate threads and replace the side-stand mounting plate bolts, free of charge. The recall began on January 29, 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.
