The 2014 BMW S1000R marked a significant shift for BMW Motorrad, bringing the potent engine and technology from the S1000RR superbike into a more accessible and street-focused package. Its design is aggressive yet refined, showcasing a balanced blend of sportbike DNA with a more upright and comfortable riding position. The engine's exhilarating power delivery is a key highlight, offering a thrilling ride across the rev range, though it’s significantly less manic than its supersport sibling. While the suspension is capable and adjustable, it leans more towards street comfort than track-focused rigidity. Notable features for the year included the excellent Brembo brakes providing strong and predictable stopping power, complemented by effective ABS. Although lacking the newest rider aids found in later models, the 2014 S1000R remains a compelling package for riders seeking a powerful, refined, and relatively comfortable naked motorcycle experience.
