BMW Motorrad Announces the US Prices for the New 2015 Bikes

As we expected, the prices of BMW’s new line-up of motorcycles surfaced before Christmas. A little too late for last-minute shopping, but definitely a good move in this time of the year, as people tend to be a little loose when it comes to spending money. And since a down payment is an almost certain sale, we can figure out that someone in the marketing department at BMW is getting a reward for the idea.

Long story short, the all-new member of the S family, the S1000XR was the first bike whose price became public, and we ran that story yesterday. So far, the announced price makes the S1000XR adventure-sport bike more affordable than Ducati Multistrada 1200, and it will be interesting to see how this bike will fare against its Italian rival.

2015 BMW F800R is the most affordable new bike

The all-new F800R naked roadster is the most affordable machine in the next year roster, with a $9,950 price for the base model. This bike is light and compact and can serve as a very good commuter and fun machine, while adding optional luggage systems will also turn it into a sporty travel bike.

Among the most important new features of the bike we must mention upside-down forks, heated grips, an on-board computer, radial calipers and the Automatic Stability Control (ASC) system. Extra metallic colors are available, too. Follow the link for 2015 BMW F800R live photos we took in Milan.

2015 S1000RR revamped for $15,500

If you feel like riding to the extreme, the Bavarian manufacturer can provide you with a 2015 model year S1000RR superbike. That is, if you’re willing to spend $15,500 on this liter-class beast, in its base version. For $16,795 you can get the Standard package which introduces neat features, such as the Gear Shift Assist ProRace and heated grips.

You can of course go Premium and fork out $19,695. This will also get you the Race package, the Dynamic package and forged wheels. Other benefits include the Rain, Sport, and Race modes, with the Slick and User modes available with the Pro option which includes Launch Control, Pit-Lane Speed Limiter, and 15-presets for the DTC. The electronic Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) is also said to be better than the one in the HP4 bikes no longer available in 2015. S1000RR photos here.

2015 BMW R1200R - all naked beastly fun

A base model 2015 BMW R1200R will have you sign a $13,950 check, while multiple packages are offered for some extra dough. You can get the Comfort package with a chrome exhaust (we had no idea a shiny silencer is comfortable), heated grips and tire pressure monitor, all for $450, while the Touring package is $1,600 and gets you Dynamic ESA, on-board computer pro, GPS preparation, cruise control, a center stand, luggage rack and saddlebag mounts.

Go Dynamic for $675 and enjoy the Dynamic Traction Control, headlight pro, ride modes pro, and a sport windshield. Additionally, you can also choose from two color styles. Check this link for 2015 BMW R1200R live photos.

2015 R1200RS half-naked machine is a grand more

Basically the same machine as the R1200R, the 2015 R 1200RS is the classic sport-touring machine BMW reintroduced this fall at EICMA 2014. It comes with an upper half-fairing and a taller windscreen which offer enhanced rider protection against the elements. The tech specs are identical to those of the R1200R, since both are based on the same frame and liquid-cooled boxer power plant.
However, the 2015 R1200RS arrives with a $14,950 base model price, while the optional packages have the same added price. We have live photos of the 2015 R1200RS, too.

Cool as they are, these bikes will surely bring a lot of geld (German for money) in BMW’s bucket, but the next big step is represented by the upcoming small-displacement machines the Germans are developing in collaboration with Indian maker TVS. Addressing a much larger demographic and being noticeably cheaper than the bikes BMW currently sells, the new machines could be the key to a very profitable future.
