    BMW S 1000XR

    The S1000XR's ability to slice across the country in a relaxed manner but with ban-inducing speed is amazing. You can ride it faster than the donor sports bike, as the riding position gives better control, is less tiring and makes overtaking easier, especially with the added midrange from the XR-spec engine.Read More

    A Wonderful Tourer

    A wonderful tourer. BMW created the best competitor for all the adventure bikes in the 1000cc segment. Overall it is fully equipped with all of the electronics to be in a bike. Safety, comfort, and styling are the main motto of this beauty. BMW focused mainly on the riding posture for better comfort. Maybe this beauty gonna be a trendsetter in the market for a long time. Wish BMW to continue their lineup like this. Read More
