BMW S1000R is a fantastic package for the naked sport enthusiasts, however, the price of the bike looks too high for a 1000cc roadster. The other offerings in the segment like Kawasaki Z1000, Honda CB1000R and Yamaha FZ1, which are available in a price bracket of Rs. 10-14 lakh only. The bike costs almost twice than its rivals, however, we are sure that BMW fans will definitely go for this bike, because it's one of the most important model in the company's portfolio.
