S 1000 R

BMW's S 1000 R deploys RR-derived 999cc inline-four power — 170 hp in a 439-lb supernaked chassis — at $10,000–$13,500 used, making it competitive against the Streetfighter V4 and MT-10 on power-to-price. BMW dealer service costs are measurably higher than Japanese alternatives; budget $600–$1,200+ for annual maintenance and confirm a nearby dealer before buying.
