The windscreen has also been lengthened to promote better wind deflection. As for the LED headlight assembly, it retains the sleek design of the previous model.

BMW has gone far beyond styling changes to attract new customers, with significantly revised chassis and engine changes under the skin. BMW has added more holes to the four die-cast alloy members that form the chassis, allowing the new bike to flex more than the previous one. The new frame keeps the general design of the old bike, including tailored flexibility.

Track riders can take advantage of the new Slick ABS setting on the S 1000 RR, which works with race oriented tires.
