00:00Although it's taken until 2024 to see the short-circuit success that BMW have been longing

00:05for, the S1000RR has been a massive hit for road riders since its release, all the way back in 2009.

00:14In fact, the S1000RR doesn't just regularly outsell the rest of its superbike competition,

00:20but it smashes sales out of the ballpark, sometimes selling well over double its best-selling

00:25leader rivals in the UK. For 2025, the S1000RR is about evolution rather than revolution,

00:33with a few tweaks to the motor, that is now €5-plus compliant, a revised aero package,

00:39some additional riding modes and a quick action throttle, adopted from the homologation special

00:44N1000RR. Although the S1000RR has seen a raft of updates over the years, the 2025 model still has

00:52that same essence of the original model, with a poised and predictable inline-four motor,

00:57a great level of stability and a roomy cockpit that does allow for a little bit of comfort for

01:02longer journeys. Yet with every iteration, it has become a more serious proposition and the 2025

01:08model takes that a step further, with a more aggressive appearance and the sharper,

01:14more direct feeling from the throttle. On track, the RR feels precise, but closer to an extreme

01:20superbike with headlights. Compared to previous generations, the 2025 model is more focused and

01:27requires a little more rider input to muscle it around, but when done so, the rewards are greater.

01:33It's the S1000RR we all love, with some additional spice thrown in for good measure.

01:39Gone are the days of leader superbikes being cramped and small, as the S1000RR is a surprisingly roomy,

01:45and a rather large beast to straddle. When equipped with the optional M footrest,

01:511,012 pounds, the rear sets offer a huge amount of adjustability in their positioning,

01:56and the space between the seat and the bars is vast, suiting a larger rider.

02:02The riding triangle isn't too aggressive for a sports bike either, and even at motorway speeds,

02:08the screen offers a reasonable amount of wind protection.

02:11The aftermarket heated grips, 260 pounds, are incredibly effective on a cooler day too,

02:18offering a good amount of heat, even with thicker gloves.

02:22In terms of its cornering and braking abilities, the S1000RR is sharper than ever.

02:27However, that means that it's incredibly firm on the road, even in the softer, road mode.

02:33Although it turns with impressive precision, the RR's ride quality is on the harsher side of the

02:38spectrum, while the brakes are impressively sharp too, with little intervention from the ABS.

02:44However, on track it comes into its own. The S1000RR is one of, if not the sharpest leader

02:51superbikes on sale today, with a chassis and suspension setup that will swallow anything thrown its way.

02:57It feels like a well-sorted track machine as standard, with incredible poise and precision.

03:03The feedback through the suspension and chassis is truly incredible too, working better the harder

03:09it is pushed. Although this bumps the price up, it is possible for you to spec your RR to exactly how

03:16you want it, and leave off what you don't need. As you might imagine, the 2025 S1000RR comes with all

03:23the bells and whistles imaginable on a leader superbike, alongside a few additional creature

03:28comforts too. A 6-axis IMU powers a raft of modes and switchable rider aids that cover everything

03:35from cornering ABS and traction control to launch control and brake slide assist, and even a pit lane

03:41limiter. The electronics are impressively effective. This is all powered via 6.5-inch TFT dash that is

03:50relatively easy to use and has Bluetooth connectivity that will hook up to the free BMW app in order to

03:56record your ride and use maps. Heated grips and cruise control are an extra, but they're both

04:01effective systems that add another dimension to the RR's road-going abilities. BMW's flagship sportsbike

04:09has always been known for its smooth, linear engine, and even in its latest, 5 Euro plus guise, it retains

04:16that character, for the most part. It's happy to sit a gear or two too high and will even sit at motorway

04:22speeds without feeling too eager, which is helped by the handy additional of cruise control, 370 pounds.

04:30But because it's so smooth from just a few thousand RPM, you always have to be mindful of that mammoth

04:35power figure, as it will achieve license-losing speeds without ever even breaking a sweat.

04:41When it's wound up, the RR is deceptively fast and carves through gears with an almost impossible level

04:47of silkiness at the top end. It's seriously composed and is an incredible asset that will climb into the

04:53triple MPH digits with no drama whatsoever. However, for 25 the S1000RR comes equipped with the M's quick

05:01action throttle, reducing the range from 72 degrees to 58 degrees, and it is quite eager at very single

05:08digit speeds, even in the softer engine settings. On the road it's very enthusiastic, even in the softer

05:16modes, but it's on track where the S1000RR feels most at home. That 999 cubic centimeters motor eats up

05:24straights without a thought and makes an incredible amount of mechanical grip in the process.

05:30The combination of those big wings and impressive electronics also do a sterling job of getting the

05:35RR moving forward, while still remaining stable on the power. Although very early S1000RR suffered a few

05:42minor issues, BMW seemed to have addressed those problems, and the dealer's service tends to be

05:48positive. For the previous generations of S1000RR, owners' reviews show a mixed bag when it comes to

05:55reliability. Some are happy, while others state they've had serious problems, although with the 2025

06:01model relatively unchanged, we'd like to think that any problems have now been ironed out.

06:07We are also running an S1000RR on our long-term test fleet for 2025, so keep an eye out for our

06:14updates from our Deputy Editor Carl Stevens' ownership experience. Although the S1000RR sport starts at just

06:22£19,310, that is for the very basic specification, and it doesn't take long for the cost to add up for

06:30additional goodies. For context, Ducati's Panigale V4S costs £29,995, Aprilia's RSV4 Factory 1100 will set

06:42you back £23,859 and Honda's CBR1000RRR Fireblade SP is £23,699, while Bimota's new KB998 Rimini costs

06:56just over £36,000. On the flip side, Kawasaki's ZX-10R is £17,499. Our test bike is equipped with

07:07the £1,260-pound dynamic package that gives the RR heated grips, cruise control and dynamic damping

07:14control, the £1,625-million-pound Titan exhaust system, the £435-m billet package levers and the

07:23£5,010-pound M package, which includes a host of extras such as carbon wheels, along with the blue

07:31calipers and the white color scheme.
