Ergonomics and Comfort
The S 1000 RR is a sport motorcycle fully ready for the track, so you should expect the ergonomics to be focused on this task. There are some options that can help you be more comfortable, including three seat options: high, low, and standard. You can also choose the adjustable BMW M Billet rear sets to further refine your seating position.
Even without the accessories, and considering its racing track roots, the S 1000 RR is a relatively comfortable motorcycle for most riders.
