BMW has unveiled the S 1000 R, an unfaired version of its existing S 1000 RR superbike.
The transformation into a naked motorcycle hasn't just involved a loss of bodywork, though. For instance, modifications to the 999 cc, four-cylinder engine include reprofiled cams, altered cylinder heads and a recalibrated engine management system.

As a result, it produces 158 bhp (118 kW / 160 PS) in the S 1000 R instead of the RR's 190 bhp (142 kW / 193 PS). Peak torque meanwhile is unchanged at 112 Nm (83 lb/ft), but it arrives earlier and maximum revs have been reduced by 2,000 rpm.
Race ABS and Automatic Stability Control with 'Rain' and 'Road' riding modes are both fitted as standard to the S 1000 R. Dynamic Traction Control, which additionally offers 'Dynamic' and 'Dynamic Pro' settings, is on the options list.
A UK price and launch date have yet to be announced.
