The 2014 Bmw S1000R This is the streetfighter variant of the S1000RR. Its not quite naked bike, if it was supposed to be and it retains many characteristics of the S1000RR. The riding position could be altered. The engine delivers 160 bhp/11000 rpm, (193 bhp for the S1000RR) although the torque (112 nm/7500 rpm – 83 ft lbs) has been substantially increased at the low-middle spectrum of the powerband. Specifically up to 7500 rpm, this engine version develops 10 Newton metres (approx. 7 lb-ft) more torque than the S 1000 RR. The kerb weight is 207 kg. The electronics package includes Race ABS, ASC which is Automatic Stability Control and two riding modes. The Traction Control is optional. To Bmw S1000R του 2014 Αυτή είναι η streetfighter εκδοχή του S1000RR. Δεν είναι και γυμνό, αν υποτίθεται ότι έτσι έπρεπε να είναι και διατηρεί πολλά χαρακτηριστικά του S1000RR. H θέση οδήγησης πρέπει να είναι διαφορετική. Ο κινητήρας αποδίδει 160 ίππους/11000 σ.α.λ. από 193 του S1000RR, αν και η ροπή (112 nm/7500 σ.α.λ.) έχει αυξηθεί σημαντικά στο χαμηλομεσαίο φάσμα. Συγκεκριμένα μέχρι τις 7500 σ.α.λ. ο κινητήρας αποδίδει 10 Nm περισσότερα από το S 1000 RR. Tο βάρος της μοτοσυκλλέτας γεμάτη είναι 207 κιλά. Το πακέτο των ηλεκτρονικών περιλαμβάνει Race ABS, ASC δηλαδή Automatic Stability Control και δύο χάρτες. Tο Traction Control είναι έξτρα.

Τhe bike can be seen here with gold front calipers and a stock exhaust while on previous photos the calipers were silver and the silencer was an Akrapovic, reminding of a ΗΡ4 version.

The images posted from Asphalt and Rubber and various media, show a front view of the new Bmw naked bike. Compared to the photos shown lower at this article from previous spy shots, the wind deflector may has changed or it could be adjustable. 

Whatever the case is, it should not make a big difference to such a fast bike in terms of the air protection issue to the rider. However the asymmetrical lights at the front do look very modern Bmw styling.

New spy shots of the naked Bmw S1000 (+video). 

 
The photos of the two new bikes were shot in Italy and were published by the magazine www.motociclismo.it.. 

One bike was equipped with a stock silencer while the other featured an Arrow which looked like the aftermarket one for the S1000RR. 

The new bike could be named S1000 S and it is the naked version of the S1000RR featuring small changes like the absence of the fairing, the headlamp assembly seems the same although somewhat protruding to the front and a small fly screen insertion. 

The riding position looks similar to the S1000RR although the handlebars seem to be higher. The riders-passengers were not really happy with the shooting, one is showing the finger…

     The naked S1000RR – to be called the S1000SR according to insiders – looks highly developed with a specially designed half-fairing with a passing resemblance to that seen on the Aprilia RSV4 Tuono. 

     It’s been a relatively quiet 18 months for BMW with only the revamped S1000RR superbike and the two 650cc scooters appearing as new models. It's not clear when the naked S1000 will be launched. The technical specification of the bike is also unknown. 

     There is a chance BMW has taken the brave step of just ripping off the fairing and leaving the 197bhp inline four-cylinder motor, chassis and running gear alone – changing only the handlebars for a more upright riding position. 

     This would be a unique step, as every other naked bike derived from a superbike, such as the Ducati Streetfighter and Aprilia RSV4 Tuono, have had power softened and some hefty chassis changes too.

      MCN expects a slightly lower power output of around 160bhp.
