S1000RR Price Dropped in India: BMW Motorrad has announced price reduction of INR 1.30 lakh from its flagship S1000RR. The motorcycle now starts from INR 17.90 lakh, rivalling none other than other liter class products namely Yamaha YZF-R1, Honda CBR1000RR, Suzuki GSX-R1000 and Kawasaki ZX-10R. Some other lesser known product from this space, MV Agusta F4 and Aprilia RSV4, are yet to receive similar price drop. BMW S1000RR was earlier prices from INR 19.20 lakh. The reduction in excise duty on CBUs helped many brands get better placed than others as those involved in CKD witnessed rise in price and tough competition. BMW imports most motorcycles through CBU route and could be counted as the largest beneficiary from this move. Not just that, a much lower priced Honda CBR1000RR saw INR 2.02 lakh being shelved from its price while BMW reduced the benefit to INR 1.30 lakh only.
