I`m considering a buy on a 2016 S 1000 XR, I`m geting it at a price where I can have it lowered at a BMW DEALER and still have a fair deal. I`m 5`9.5 and 68 years young so the standard height is too dangerous and uncomfortable , i WOULD LIKE SOME FEEDBACK ON THE XR as far as comfort riding in the cold and wind protection as the RT was great for winter and low temps and keeping a good deal of rain off of me . I need a smaller and lighter bike in my golden years so the XR hopefully would fit my needs, probably have to add a touring windshield . I didn`t get much time on it when I test rode it a few years back ,I`m in Conn. so the the temp is from the 20`s up to 95 thanks again lads !
