Bmw S 1000 Rr M Sport Review
"The finest all-round superbike money can buy used, if maintained properly."
Key Specs
Used Buyer Review
The M Sport isn't just a sticker package โ you're getting the M carbon wheels, M endurance chain, and M brake caliper as standard, which genuinely transforms how the bike feels mid-corner and under hard braking. Coming from an R1 and a CBR1000RR-R, this thing has a league of its own in terms of electronics sophistication. The DDC suspension alone is worth the premium over a standard S1000RR, and it actually works rather than just existing on a spec sheet. That said, buy one with full service history or walk away. The fuel pump recall is real and unresolved examples still exist out there. Check the S1000RR forums obsessively before viewing โ look for botched quickshifter calibration and front brake judder, both common neglect symptoms. Inspect the carbon fiber bodywork carefully because replacements will hurt your wallet badly. Also worth knowing: insurance on these is brutal regardless of your clean record.
