BMW S 1000 RR

The BMW S 1000 RR looks pretty conventional style-wise but its asymmetrical headlights show otherwise. This 455.3-pound motorbike produces 193 horsepower and a torque of 82.5 pound-feet making it among, if not the only bike for public consumption to have the most number of horsepower and power-to-weight ratio. It comes with an HP Gearshift Assistant, extremely advanced traction control system and the rider assistance and safety system such as the ABS and traction control.

The BMW S 1000 RR will debut on the Monza Racing Circuit and it brings the essential factors needed to be able to successfully enter the World Championship which include optimum chassis stiffness, wide range of engine speed, supreme power and fast revving capacity.

BMW entered an unchartered terrain when it started developing the BMW S 1000 RR which involved new challenges, motivation, new standards and responsibilities. The challenge for the team was to come up with a motor with top handling and supreme traction, come up with an absolutely stable suspension, dynamic design but with reduced weight.

The BMW S 1000 RR boasts of options for riding conditions including Sport for regular road conditions, Rain for wet roads, Slick for a race track with slicks and Race for a race track with supersport tires. These settings can be adjusted using a simple button.
