BMW reveals all the details on S 1000 RR superbike

We haven’t covered many BMW Motorrad news on here, but we’re looking to change this and what’s the best way to reconnect with the BMW bikes fans other than posting the official unveiling of the S 1000 RR. Last week, BMW has finally revealed their latest superbike and it is quite impressive.

So, what got us so excited? Well, for one, the 193 horsepower at 13,000 RPM and 82.5 lb-ft of torque at 9,750 RPM, while only weighing 455.3 pounds with a full tank of gas. The super Beemer has the most horsepower and best power-to-weight ratio of all 1000 cc bikes available for the consumers. BMW S 1000 RR can be equipped with ABS and Dynamic Traction Control systems. As a curiosity, the ABS system weighs only 5.51 lbs.

Facing various riding conditions such as wet roads (”Rain”), regular road conditions (”Sport”), a race track with supersport tyres (”Race”), or a race track with slicks (”Slick”), the rider also has the choice of various engine characteristics and set-ups available at the touch of a button. There’s also an HP Gearshift Assistant that will allow for full-power clutchless upshifts.

As far as the design, it is all you could expect from a BMW and it differentiates itself from the crowd by offering asymmetrical headlights, loved by some Beemer fans but equally hated by others.
