"The new BMW S 1000 XR is the ultimate symbiosis of long-distance capability and high-performance in a sport bike," Vikram Pawah, President, BMW Group India, said in a statement.


"Improved in all key areas, this motorcycle offers superior, sporty riding pleasure even if the journey is long. Chase as many bends as you like – you alone decide when the ride ends," he added.
