BMW R 1300 RT vs BMW S 1000 RR

The BMW R 1300 RT (2026) and the BMW S 1000 RR (2025) are compared with the same Moto Kıyas physics model under identical conditions: flat dry asphalt, no wind, a 75 kg rider and no passenger. The BMW R 1300 RT is a touring bike with 1,300 cc, 143.5 hp and 281 kg; the BMW S 1000 RR is a sport bike with 999 cc, 206.5 hp and 198 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 403.1 hp/ton versus 756.5 hp/ton. On this measure the BMW S 1000 RR is 88% ahead.

In the simulation the BMW R 1300 RT covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.37 s and the BMW S 1000 RR in 2.84 s; the BMW S 1000 RR is quicker by 0.54 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.0 m for the BMW R 1300 RT (with ABS) and 36.4 m for the BMW S 1000 RR (with ABS). The BMW S 1000 RR stops 4.6 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 229 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 287 km/h (manufacturer claim).

All values are an estimated simulation, not road-test measurements. Technical data comes from the sources listed below; the model uses model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for both.
