BMW's First Series Superbike Comes off the Production Line.
As the excitement builds for BMW Motorrad's introductory race to the Superbike
World Championship at Phillip Island on March 1st 2009, the first series production
version of the superbike has rolled off the production line in Berlin: the
BMW S 1000 RR.
Based closely on the series production bike, the race version has been performing
extremely well in recent tests held in Portimao and Valencia. BMW Motorrad
Motorsport Team Alpha Racing, as well as riders Troy Corser and Ruben Xaus
are very impressed with the bikes progress and what the future holds in the
Superbike World Championship.
The series production BMW S 1000 RR is a completely new motorcycle for BMW
Motorrad with a compact and light 999cc in-line 4-cylinder engine. The dry
weight of the motorcycle is 183 kg.
Both its supreme performance figures and its outstanding riding properties
make the BMW S 1000 RR an extremely attractive offer in the superbike segment.
The engine has a very compact cylinder head and is narrow in shape. The valves
are activated by means of very small, light cam followers, virtually at Formula
1 level in terms of their dimensions. This construction ensures very high
engine speeds and allows maximum freedom in engine design in terms of torque
and output.
The BMW S 1000 RR optionally receives a newly developed sports ABS featuring
four different modes as well as the dynamic traction control system DTC will
be available. The principal function of the traction control system has been
borrowed directly from the racing version.
The distinctive design of the S 1000 RR reflects the bold and muscular style
of the superbike segment but also clearly represents the brand BMW. The new
S 1000 RR will be available in the four finishes Mineral Silver metallic,
Acid Green metallic, Thunder Grey metallic and - based on the BMW Motorrad
racing colours - Alpine White/Lupine Blue/Magma Red.
The production version of the BMW S 1000 RR will be presented to the public
during the European summer and customers globally and in Australia can register
their interest in dealerships now.
It is anticipated that the BMW S 1000 RR will be available early 2010 with
retail pricing to be announced closer to its arrival.
