S 1000 RR
BMW's S 1000 RR combines ShiftCam variable valve timing with a flex-frame chassis that delivers exceptional turning agility and rider feedback — at $14,500–$18,500 used it competes directly with the Panigale V4 and RSV4 at a lower price point. Pre-2023 examples can have notchy gear engagement in 3rd and 4th gear; confirm smooth shifting across the full box on any test ride.
