The fancy new dash is just the most visible of numerous tech tweaks here.

The bike's systems read from a new, six-axes accelerometer and gyro system that ensures the various traction and braking control systems are constantly optimized to conditions. There's even an integrated pit speed limiter and launch control. But it's not all about racing. The optional adaptive suspension is said to provide a reasonably compliant ride, while niceties like hill-start control and cruise control should make it a suitably passable touring machine. Ergonomics are supposedly improved as well, thanks to a narrower frame and fuel tank. No word yet on when the new S 1000 RR will be available or how much it'll cost, but don't expect the starting price to stray too far from the outgoing, winky-eyed 2019 S 1000 RR's $15,995. However, if you want the full-fat M edition, you'll surely be looking at a number north of $20,000.
