The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • 177 kg ready to ride with 47.6 PS, and it wears the S 1000 RR face with winglets to match
  • Cornering ABS Pro, traction control, Dynamic Brake Control and heated grips come standard, even on the Base
  • Proper hardware for the class: a Brembo four-piston front caliper, a 43 mm KYB upside-down fork and a 14-litre tank BMW says is good for over 350 km
  • Made in India by TVS at Hosur, the same plant that builds the F 450 GS

Worth knowing

  • No India price or launch date yet: BMW Motorrad India has announced neither
  • The quickshifter and adjustable fork start from the Sport version, and the Easy Ride Clutch is only standard on the top M Sport
  • Rivals like the Aprilia RS 457 already make the same power for similar weight, so the BMW has to win on equipment and price
  • BMW has not published ground clearance or height yet
