Overview
The BMW S 1000 XR is a sport tourer from the 2020–2022 model years. The 2022 version has a 999 cm³ liquid-cooled inline-four producing 162 hp (121 kW) at 11,000 rpm and 114 Nm at 9,250 rpm; its wet weight is 226 kg.
The 790 mm seat height gives a lower perch that can make putting both feet down easier. The engine’s power peaks high in the rev range, while the 20 L tank and 6.4 L/100 km fuel consumption give a calculated full-tank range of about 312 km. Dynamic ESA electronically adjusts suspension damping, with an electronic rear preload adjuster, and ABS is fitted to both brakes.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Lower seat
The 790 mm seat height can make footing easier when stopping or maneuvering at low speed.
Electronic suspension adjustment
Dynamic ESA adjusts rebound and compression damping electronically, and the rear suspension also has electronic preload adjustment.
Slipper clutch
The slipper clutch helps calm the rear wheel during hard downshifts.
Things to consider
Weight at low speed
At 226 kg wet, moving the motorcycle around while parking or making tight, slow turns takes effort.
Chain final drive
The chain needs regular cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
