Scarcely two years after the launch in 2009, BMW Motorrad is now presenting the revised model of this successful supersports wheel, at present with many optimized details. The primary objectives were even greater riding precision and agility, a punchier power buildup, and a more sensitive response. The revised model of the S k RR has incorporated quite a few feedback reports from national super stock races.

Like its predecessor, the new RR knows no compromise, providing the highest level of sporting graphic symbol and riding dynamics. The convincing features of the new S 1000 RR are its improved handling with absolute riding stability, supreme engine performance with perfect everyday practicality, and a resounding dynamic performance.

The highest level of agile rubber is safeguarded past the about advanced brake arrangement today on the marketplace, the BMW Motorrad Race ABS. When accelerating, the rider is supported by the Dynamic Traction Control system DTC. Both of these systems accept been optimised for the perfect interaction.

There have been no changes to the superior engine power of
142 kW (193 hp) with a weight of only 204 kilograms including 90% fuel (206.5 weight with Race ABS).

Concept with optimized riding dynamics.

I of the primary objectives pursued for the revised S chiliad RR model was to improve ridability past boosting thrust and enhancing the linearity and harmoniousness of the power and torque curves. The reconfigured throttle improves overall response.

The new, optimized design raises response sensitivity, tightens the twistgrip bending, and reduces the twisting forcefulness.

Pause with improved treatment and feedback.

The modifications to the new RR suspension have been instrumental in boosting its riding dynamics. For instance, the upside down fork and the spring strut characteristic a new internal structure, providing an even wider range of damping forces from comfort to performance.

Moreover, the break geometry has been modified with new values for the steering head bending, offset, position of the swing arm pivot, fork projection, and spring strut length to yield even better handling, steering accuracy, and feedback for the new S yard RR. This has required modifications to the master frame that also included enlarging the cross sectional area of the intake air guide through the steering head for greater air flow efficiency. This package of suspension optimisations is rounded off past an adaptable mechanical steering damper.

Instrument cluster with new functions.

The engine speed display has been redesigned for improve readability. In improver, the display tin now be dimmed and provides more than functions. For instance, the lap timer tin at present nowadays "Best lap in progress", and if required, "Speedwarning" can inform the passenger when he exceeds a particular speed.

Refined design and new colours.

The new S 1000 RR not only benefits from the advanced developments for the engine, suspension, and cockpit. Information technology has likewise gained still another footstep ahead in terms of design. The tail department now presents a considerably bacteria await. There have been some discrete changes to the asymmetrical side panels, and the centre airbox embrace at present sports side aperture grilles. On the superlative part of the panels, a new, telling identifying feature takes the form of two winglets that raise the aerodynamic qualities.

In the nearly sporting colour combination of Racing cherry and Tall white, the RR exudes power and speed even when it is stationary, whereas apparently Bluefire lends information technology a decidedly extravagant look.

Sporty dynamics is conveyed by Sapphire black metallic, and in BMW Motorrad Motorsport colours, the new S one thousand RR testifies to its direct relationship with BMW Motorrad Motorsport. The distinctive RR logo has been slightly modified.

Additional visual accents have the course of wheels painted in glossy black and the scarlet spring in the central strut. The matching swing arm either presents an anodised coating or is kept in black.

Also the ergonomics has been improved in the class of new heel plates for the rider. The stabilisers on the passenger footrests have now been designed for a leaner look.

Extended range of optional extra and special equipment.

For individualising the new S 1000 RR, BMW Motorrad is expanding its range of optional extras and special equipment ex works with a number of attractive features. Riders with a particularly sporty bent can at present equip their RR with an HP titanium exhaust system (with or without ABE) or the HP race information logger. Besides the heated grips offering ii levels and fitted as optional extra tin can take the bite out of the early morn run on the racetrack or longer rides in cold weather.

The new features at a glance
