2021 BMW S 1000 R price and variants
The latest BS6-compliant big bike to hit the Indian market is the BMW S 1000 R, which has just been launched with prices starting from Rs 17.90 lakh. That’s the price for the Standard variant, while the Pro version costs Rs 19.75 lakh and the range-topping Pro M Sport sits at Rs 22.50 lakh (all prices ex-showroom, India). When the model was previously on sale here in the BS4 era, prices started from Rs 16.45 lakh, so the new bike is around Rs 1.45 lakh dearer.

Its 999cc inline-four-cylinder engine is derived from the S 1000 RR’s motor but misses out on technology like variable valve timing and features a milder state of tune. The end result is a relatively modest 165hp and 114Nm, which is nowhere close to something like the recently launched Ducati Streetfighter V4. But the Beemer isn’t intended to be such a hardcore machine anyway, and instead promises a flatter torque curve and more linear delivery.
