Motorsport Corner: BMW S1000RR

By: Cole

Rated as the most power for the money bike in its class, I am going to take a look at a bike I thoroughly enjoy riding.

BMW S1000RR


This production version of the World Superbike racer, that took its competion by surprise, has plenty of its race pedigree. 



Style and function come together in the new 2012 facelift that changes the geometry to allow for quicker turn-in to the corners.

 
Fully loaded with rider aides, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Race ABS, and even heated grips, fully fueled and ready to ride this bike weighs in at only 451 lbs.


Engine:
Type Water/oil-cooled 4-cylinder 4-stroke in-line engine, four titanium valves per cylinder, two overhead camshafts
Bore x stroke 80 mm x 49.7 mm
Capacity 999 cc
Rated output 193 hp (142 kW) at 13.000 rpm
Max. torque 83 lb/ft (112 Nm) at 9.750 rpm
Compression ratio 13.0 : 1
Mixture control / engine management Electronic injection, digital engine electronics with integrated knock control (BMS-KP)


Wunderlich Piranha Mod


A really unique Street-fighter look that puts the riding position more upright and adds an Öhlins suspension.

HP4 Competition

Covered in carbon fiber and limited production HP4badges and paint, this addition to the BMW HP family is ready for the street or the track.
