The 2025 BMW S 1000 R will feature a redesigned front fascia, with a more minimalistic yet aggressive headlamp design, resembling the Ducati Streetfighter. While the headlamp is the most noticeable change, the rest of the bodywork, including the radiator cowl, fuel tank, fenders, and tail section, remains identical to the current version. According to reports, the leaked image showcases the standard variant, which comes with conventional alloy wheels rather than carbon wheels and has a slimmer lower section compared to the M Sport trim.

Notably, the upcoming model will also feature a small air intake located between the two LED headlamps, and a steering damper which isn’t offered on the outgoing model. Other aspects like the motor and cycle parts like the wheels, suspension, and brakes, appear to be the same. The current S 1000 R is powered by a 999 cc inline-four mill borrowed from the S 1000 RR. Although it is a detuned version registering 165 bhp without the ShiftCam variable valve timing technology. It will be a matter of waiting and watching to see whether the 2025 model will receive a bump in power or not.
In India, the BMW S 1000 R competes against the Ducati Streetfighter V4, Suzuki Katana, and Kawasaki Z H2.
