The 2017 BMW S1000XR Gets More Power And Less Vibrations

The S1000XR's power plant and exhaust has also been updated, now meeting Euro4 emissions standards and making a reported five more horsepower at 165.

Finally, in addition to the red and white paint schemes currently available, Motorrad is adding the metallic blue option pictured above.
