Powered by a detuned version of the S 1000 RR superbike motor, the XR still has a formidable 160 horses on tap when you rev it into five-figures. A premium motorcycle, the S 1000 XR comes standard with Automatic Stability Control, along with an extended list of highest-end options, including Dynamic Electronic Suspension Adjustment and ABS Pro.
