2020 BMW S1000RR Priced for the USA at $16,999*
BMW Motorrad has finally revealed its pricing for the BMW S1000RR in the US market (read our ride review here), and the price tag should excite superbike riders. First, the good news: the 2020 BMW S1000RR comes with a $16,999 MSRP.
The bad news is of course that it is almost impossible to ever get a BMW model at the base price listed, as they are virtually never imported into the US, with instead the motorcycles coming decked-out in their optional packages.
But even then, BMW Motorrad USA has surprised us with this machine’s offering in the Land of the Free.
Taking a trip through the company’s bike configurator, that $17,000 motorcycle instantly gets a $1,400 price increase with the “Select” package pre-added, and it doesn’t seem that it can be removed from the build list. Call the FTC, because that’s called a bait-and-switch.
The “Select” package does bring some goodies though, in the guise of semi-active suspension (DDC), heated grips, tire pressure monitoring, and cruise control.
For another $1,600 you can get the “Race” package, and that adds the “Rides Mode Pro” – which basically adds all the electronic stuff you would expect on a superbike, i.e. launch control, wheelie control, race modes, dynamic traction control, slide control, etc. It also adds a lithium-ion battery and forged aluminum wheels.
