BMW R7 project “LIVE”

More than 70 years have passed since the closure of the project BMW R7. The device has not got to the conveyor belt, though he was one of the most innovative developments in the world moto industry those years. But relatively recently about BMW R7 remembered and recreated in the original form which was invented in 1934 by its designer – Alfred B?ning.

2010 BMW R1200GS Adventure
Wherever you are, get ready for it: whether taking a quick trip to the nearest mountains or setting off for a different continent to discover faraway new cultures. Range is not a problem with a tank capacity of 33 litres. Robustness? The G 1200 GS Adventure looks as if it had invented the term - and it certainly has defined it in the motorcycle world. This is partly due to the range of features which have become almost as legendary as the bike itself. On this machine you can take potholes with 20 mm more clearance than on the R 1200 GS. Perfect ergonomics, optimum gearing for every terrain. And a chassis which - whether fully loaded or not - will allow you to thrill your pillion passenger as well as surprise anyone ahead of you. Stone chip? Falls? Protectors! Ride on! The special equipment features off-road ESA and ASC continue to be unsurpassed. Unstoppable is their motto.
The bike’s unstoppable character is further enhanced with the new DOHC engine*, which first displayed its impressive performance in the legendary HP2 Sport. For the R 1200 GS Adventure, torque was given higher priority than output in line with practical considerations. And you can feel it. 120 Nm at the peak at 6000 rpm is one thing, but the consistently higher level of torque in the relevant range up to 5000 rpm can be fully experienced. The output has been increased to 81 kW (110 bhp) at 7750 rpm). The supreme riding pleasure is underscored by a powerful sound from the new exhaust system with exhaust flap which will everyone will love – so take a test ride now!

* DOHC = Double Overhead Camshaft, two overhead camshafts per cylinder



You are travelling on your motorcycle, often thousands of kilometres from home. Getting to know distant countries, continents and cultures. Whether asphalt, gravel or bumps - it is immaterial to you because your motorcycle takes you everywhere with complete comfort and reliability. Heat, cold, drought, wind and rain - it all quickens your heartbeat, because it lets you know you are on the road. If you see yourself in all this, this motorcycle is the right companion for you. Because the BMW R1200GS Adventure defines the standards for the ultimate indestructible adventure motorcycle. It is a perfect synthesis of agility, touring suitability and off-road capability - as standard!



 

Some journeys you can tell are going to be tough just by looking at the map. B­ut the reality is always going to be tougher. And that's where the new BMW R 1200 GS Adventure comes into its own. However far you have to go, whatever the terrain, this is a motorcycle that will never let you down. With superb suspension, brakes you can rely on, supreme rideability and an ­engine that now delivers more torque, power and responsiveness, the new R 1200 GS Adventure was made to explore new horizons.

The 2010 model year R 1200 GS features a new updated boxer engine which gives you more torque at lower revs, improved responses and better acceleration across the rev range. The two-cylinder DOHC (Double overhead camshaft) engine delivers 120 Nm at 6000 rpm, and output has been increased to 110hp at 7750 rpm.

New, even more powerful drivetrain with extra torque for even

Introducing the new BMW R 1200 GS and the new R 1200 GS Adventure,

BMW Motorrad is opening up yet another chapter in the story of highly

successful GS models which, for almost three decades, have been the epitome

of the large-capacity grand touring enduro.



Moving on from the former generation of the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure,

which already offered supreme power and performance as well as a very

broad range of practical riding qualities for long tours combined with supreme

pleasure on winding country and mountain roads, BMW Motorrad is now

enhancing this standard, as impressive as it already is, to an even higher level.



In its construction principle and fundamental layout, the new fl at-twin power

unit is the same as the DOHC engine on the BMW HP2 Sport. But marking the

new generation, the engine has been carefully updated and optimised for the

R 1200 GS and the R 1200 GS Adventure, tailored to the specifi c requirements

of a grand touring enduro.



With the 1,170-cc Boxer engine on the former models already ensuring

supreme power under all conditions and in all situations, the new R 1200 GS

and R 1200 GS Adventure have even more to offer in virtually every respect:

Delivering maximum output of 110 hp, reaching top engine speed up by 500 to

8,500 rpm, and with an even broader range of engine speed, the new GS

models are even more dynamic, powerful and muscular in terms of both torque

and acceleration throughout the entire speed range, thus setting the standard

once again for the grand touring enduro also in terms of riding dynamics.

New DOHC cylinder heads for even more effi cient cylinder charge.

Designed and built from the start for higher engine speed, the new fl at-twin

power unit in the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure, like the power unit

featured in the BMW HP2 Sport, comes with two overhead, chain-driven

camshafts (DOHC) per cylinder. The valves are operated by very light rocker

arms able to cope with even very high engine speeds through their low weight

alone. Radial arrangement of the four valves is ensured by the very compact

combustion chambers. Like on the former models, the fuel/air mixture is ignited

by two spark plugs (HP2 Sport: one spark plug), and the compression ratio of

12.0:1 is also the same as before.



Thanks to effi cient knock control, both models are able to run on premium

(plus) fuel with an octane rating of 95-98 RON (maximum output is measured

at 98 RON). Under certain conditions there may be a very small loss of torque

and a slight increase in fuel consumption as soon as knock control cuts in. On

long tours where the rider might be required to use inferior fuel, the engine may

also run on 91 RON regular fuel, using specifi c running data available as special

equipment free of charge straight from the factory.



Horizontal arrangement of the camshafts in the direction of travel gives the

new fl at-twin power unit two particular technical features: Each camshaft

controls one intake and exhaust valve and, due to the radial arrangement of

the valves, the cams come with a conical profi le. To increase both output and

torque, gas throughput has been increased throughout the entire speed range

by increasing valve plate diameter over the former models from 36 to 39 millimetres

(1.42–1.54") on the intake side and 31 to 33 millimetres (1.22–1.30") on

the exhaust side.



Intake and exhaust timing on the two camshafts has been optimised in particular

for supreme power at low and medium engine speeds and for even faster,

free-revving engine performance throughout the entire range. To increase the

free valve cross-section, valve lift is up by 10.54 mm (0.415") on the intake and

9.26 mm (0.365") on the exhaust side to 10.8 mm (0.425") on both sides. Valve

clearance is compensated by light semi-hemispherical shims.





More power and extra torque throughout the entire speed range.



The existing ratio of bore and stroke of 101:73 millimetres (3.98 : 2.87") remains

the same as before, as does the engine’s cubic capacity of 1,170 cc. Other

features likewise carried over from the former power unit are the crankshafts

and connecting rods as well as their mounts and bearings, while the two new

cast-aluminium pistons have been re-designed to match the change in combustion

chamber geometry.



Interacting with the upgraded intake system now featuring black instead of silver

throttle butterfl y manifolds as on the former models measuring 50 mm (1.97")

instead of formerly 47 mm (1.85") (HP2 Sport: 52 mm/2.05") opening clearance

and with newly designed intake air funnels and an air fi lter element with higher

throughput, the engine now develops maximum output of 81 kW/110 PS

at 7,750 rpm and peak torque of 120 Nm/88 lb-ft at 6,000 rpm. An oil cooler

ensures stable thermal conditions even when riding to the extreme.



In all, the modifi cations to the drivetrain provide a signifi cantly more homogeneous

fl ow of power and torque throughout the entire speed range. In this process

of technical development, the engines now feature magnesium-coloured

cylinder head covers with two instead of formerly four fastening bolts and come

in new, even more dynamic design. A valve cover guard made of aluminium

or plastic as well as a chrome-plated aluminium cylinder head cover may be

retrofitted as special equipment.



Electronically controlled exhaust fl ap for even more muscular sound.

Moving on to the exhaust system, the two manifolds are the same as before in

their design, length and diameter, while a modifi ed interference pipe caters for

the change in vibration conditions in the exhaust system.



Featuring an exhaust fl ap controlled by an electric motor as well as opening

and closing cables, both the new BMW R 1200 GS and the new R 1200 GS

Adventure provide a particularly throaty boxer sound naturally in full compliance

with legal standards. And to reduce ram pressure and improve the sound of the

engine even further, the rear silencer remaining the same in design as on the

former models comes with a completely new interior structure.



Ideal transmission of power through six-speed gearbox and drive shaft.

Power is transmitted as before by the proven six-speed gearbox with larger

bearing diameters and a modifi ed distance between the individual shafts already

upgraded technically for the 2008 model year. In the process the gear ratios

were once again adjusted and the secondary transmission has been modifi ed

from i = 2.82 to i = 2.91.



In conjunction with the new, even more powerful engine, this once again

means signifi cantly more torque and pulling force throughout the entire range

of engine speed.



The new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure also benefi t from optimised

shift kinematics with an optimised power/travel curve for precise gearshift and

clear feedback at all times.



The maintenance-free drive shaft to the rear wheel also remains unchanged,

relieving the rider of annoying and time-consuming maintenance requirements

particularly on long tours.



Proven running gear and high-performance brakes with Integral ABS.

Like their predecessors, the new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure offer an

almost perfect synthesis of offroad and onroad riding qualities. As in the past,

the stiff and torsionally-resistant suspension, front wheel guidance with the

unique BMW Telelever, and the rear wheel incorporating the BMW Paralever

guarantee fi rst-class and absolutely safe riding qualities also with the new

engine offering even more power and torque.



In conjunction with optional BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, extremely powerful

brakes serve additionally to provide maximum safety even in critical situations.

Optimum environmental compatibility, fi nally, is ensured also on the new boxer

engine through the most advanced exhaust gas management with a fullycontrolled

three-way catalytic converter.



Enduro ESA as special equipment for optimum electronic adjustment

of the running gear for every purpose.



Designed and built for the specifi c requirements of a grand touring enduro, Enduro

ESA Electronic Suspension Adjustment available also on the latest version of

the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure as an optional extra straight from the

factory allows adjustment of the running gear under all kinds of running conditions

and with virtually any load level, simply by pressing a button. An important feature

is that Enduro ESA offers both an onroad and offroad mode within which the

rider, choosing specifi c settings for the spring base and damping, is able to adjust

the suspension even more precisely to specifi c needs and requirements.



As usual, Enduro ESA meets the particular requirements made of a grand touring

enduro by additional electrohydraulic adjustment of the spring base on the front

spring strut. When riding offroad, this ensures a far smoother ride without the

wheel breaking through, and without the disadvantages otherwise experienced

onroad such as shorter negative spring travel or greater seat height.

Optimum ergonomics and even more practical features.



Made of a heat-treated aluminium tube, the high-quality and sophisticated

handlebar, interacting with two asymmetrically mounted clamps turning by

up to 180o, as on the HP2 Enduro Sports, may be fitted in two ergonomically

different positions. While the rear handlebar position for riding onroad and in

less demanding terrain ensures optimum ergonomics particularly for the shorter

rider, the front handlebar position offers advantages in particular when standing

up on the machine in rough terrain.



The hand protectors available as special equipment for the R 1200 GS are

fitted as standard straight from the factory on the R 1200 GS Adventure. In the

process of technically upgrading the successful R 1200 GS models, the instrument

cluster has received a new dial in new design. And last but not least, the

windshield now comes with larger hand-bolts with even better grip for adjusting

its position with greater ease.





Optional extras and accessories tailored to both the rider and the

machine.



As a genuine, fully-fl edged systems supplier, BMW Motorrad has developed a

wide range of optional extras and special equipment for further customisation of

the new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure. One particularly important new

feature is the additional headlights in LED technology.

Overall Concept and Features.



The new BMW S 1000 RR is a highly innovative straight-four supersports from

BMW Motorrad now making its world debut.

This true milestone in the world of sports machines combines engine output of

142 kW (193 hp) with overall weight of just 204 kg (450 lb) including fuel (183

kg/403.5 lb dry weight, 206.5 kg/455.3 lb overall with Race ABS).

Specifications of this calibre make this supersports machine not only an absolute

highlight in terms of its power-to-weight ratio and performance, but also,

equipped with Race ABS and DTC Dynamic Traction Control, a new benchmark

in terms of riding dynamics, safety and innovation.

Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport has been playing an active role in the World

Superbike Championship since the beginning of the 2009 racing season,

the new S 1000 RR setting the foundation for the production-based racing

machines ridden by BMW Motorrad's two works riders Troy Corser and

Ruben Xaus.

The Challenge for BMW Motorrad.

To successfully enter the World Championship with a Superbike today, a

manufacturer needs a production model with the right kind of overall concept

consistently applied in all areas. The essential factors, therefore, are supreme

power, a wide range of engine speed, fast revving capacity also over a long

period, optimum chassis stiffness, and perfect set-up of the engine.

Other features absolutely essential more than ever particularly in the top league

of supersports motorcycles are simple and straightforward rideability, lightfooted

handling, absolutely outstanding all-round performance as well as safety

features such as rider assistance systems like ABS and traction control giving

the customer precisely what he needs.

Developing the RR, BMW Motorrad has entered completely new, unchartered

terrain. Clearly, this meant a huge range of new challenges and responsibilities

for the entire Development Team, but also gave the Team enormous motivation

in seeking to set new standards.

The specific targets in developing the S 1000 RR were therefore clear:

o To achieve output and performance of the highest standard.

o To make the suspension absolutely stable, with top handling and supreme

traction.

o To give the new machine that unmistakable, dynamic design of

BMW Motorrad.

o To reduce the weight of the motorcycle to an absolute minimum.

o To ensure top quality typical of BMW .

Unique against the competition.

Over the years and decades, the principle of combining a straight-four power

unit with an aluminium bridge frame has been consistently developed and

has become the dominating technical concept particularly in the supersports

segment. The reason, quite simply, is that a motorcycle of this kind offers

signifi cant benefits in terms of riding dynamics, long-distance endurance, and

straightforward production.

Precisely this is why the new S 1000 RR also applies this concept with its

proven fortes and advantages. But even while the S 1000 RR, in its concept

teaming up a straight-four power unit and an aluminium bridge frame, may

appear at fi rst sight to have similarities with some competitors, the Development

Team at BMW Motorrad has succeeded in enhancing the existing status of this

concept in virtually every respect.

As a result, the S 1000 RR offers not only a wide range of USPs in terms of

technology, performance, and design, but also, through its particularly compact

overall layout, clearly demonstrates the high school of European engineering in

the supersports four-cylinder segment.

2010 BMW K1300S
The interceptor. The athlete. Aerodynamic, avant-garde. Do you know of another sporty bike with this profile? A bike that develops such pulling power with 175 hp that it take the heat out of many a 200 hp bike? But a bike you can still take out on a quick trip simply because it has great everyday suitability? At the same time a technological treat? The reasons: 103 lb/ft (140 Nm) from 1,293 cc – and at 8,250 rpm too. With a throaty sound from a cool, hexagonal tube. With catalytic converter and exhaust valve. And with fuel consumption and exhaust emission values which would suit many a machine with half the dynamic performance.
With this jet, the whole concept of speed moves into a new dimension. This in-line 4-cylinder delivers its power in such a way that you can almost feel it when standing still. That’s because within the engine speed ranges in which you move more than 80% of the time – i.e. the lower and medium speed ranges – it delivers performance from the first yard. The real thing. And in terms of safety features, this machine is unique: ABS as standard with ASC and ESA optional. And the extras are amazing: race through the gears with the automatic shift function, pure racing in view with the 2D dashboard.

The BMW K 1300 S: supreme power with the sportiest of understatement. Why not try it out right away!



Extreme power. Thrilling acceleration. Instant responses across the rev range. Welcome to the ultimate sports tourer - the new BMW K 1300 S.

Its styling alone promises speed and performance. And with an output of 175hp and 140Nm of torque, speed and performance is exactly what you get. Your heart races with the engine all the way up to 11,000 rpm. And yet you remain completely calm, thanks­ to a highly practical design, outstanding safety features and a chassis that is a marvel of precision engineering. If you want to be the best, there's no room for half measures.

The designers of the BMW K 1300 S were very clear about their aims: even more power, even more performance. The result is a machine that combines the excitement of a track bike with the practical features needed for long-distance riding on the road, such as the famous BMW Motorrad Duolever and BMW Motorrad ABS.

The K 1300 S is also available with ESA II Electronic Suspension Adjustment as an option, allowing you to modify the suspension set-up depending on the load you are carrying.



 

Conceived consistently as a sports machine, the K1300S has not only maintained, but in many areas even enhanced the qualities of its predecessor. As a result, this new high-performer combines fascinating and innovative technology of the highest calibre with outstanding all-round qualities and safety. On the road this means even greater riding precision and agility, even more dynamic power and performance, and, at the same time, the superior safety and ease of control in all situations so typical of a BMW.

2010 BMW S1000RR
When we build a superbike, we have no time for second best. We now present the very latest in racing power. With an aluminium bridge, radial brakes, a super sporty tail-up nose-down design, hot colours and the ultimate combination of electronic rider assistance systems: the first genuine racing ABS, whose features include a front-wheel-only mode, dynamic traction control (DTC) which permits varying degrees of slip, depending on the lean angle. The more the rider hangs off, the more upright the bike and the longer the lines on leaving the curve. Never before was it so easy to keep so much power under control. This is just as true on public roads as it is down on the racetrack. The RR label shows that it is a full-blooded racing bike, even though it can also be ridden with a number plate attached. To top it all off is an engine which is our absolute pride and joy. And our motorsports team agree wholeheartedly.
A motorcycle designed for the race track, built to deliver acceleration that takes your breath away.
The DoubleR is a genuine race bike, even though it can also be ridden with a number plate attached. To top it all off is an engine which is our absolute pride and joy. And our Motorsport team agree wholeheartedly.



The new BMW S 1000 RR is a highly innovative straight-four supersports from BMW Motorrad now making its world debut.



This true milestone in the world of sports machines combines engine output of 142 kW (193 hp) with overall weight of just 204 kg (450 lb) including fuel (183 kg/403.5 lb dry weight, 206.5 kg/455.3 lb overall with Race ABS).
Specifications of this calibre make this supersports machine not only an absolute highlight in terms of its power-to-weight ratio and performance, but also, equipped with Race ABS and DTC Dynamic Traction Control, a new benchmark in terms of riding dynamics, safety and innovation.



Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport has been playing an active role in the World Superbike Championship since the beginning of the 2009 racing season, the new S 1000 RR setting the foundation for the production-based racing machines ridden by BMW Motorrad’s two works riders Troy Corser and Ruben Xaus.


After spending its inaugural development season challenging the 2009 World Superbike Championship with factory riders Ruben Xaus and two-times world champion Australian Troy Corser, the new S1000RR exceeded expectations, finishing the series with a gratifying seventeen top-ten finishes. The S1000RR is now poised to arrive in BMW Motorrad showrooms in January of 2010.
The S1000RR will debut with an MSRP of $17,300, a price that includes Race ABS, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and Gear Shift Assist as standard equipment. The only option available on the S1000RR will be the Alarm System, priced at $265.

Combining an all-new high-performance engine with lightweight construction, sophisticated chassis dynamics and race-engineered brake and suspension components, the BMW S1000RR will set a new benchmark for ultra-high performance motorcycles - on both the racetrack and the road.

The 999cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, sixteen valve, inline four-cylinder power unit is brand-new from the ground up, bred for racing, developing a maximum output of 193 hp at 13,000 rpm (rev-limited to14,200 rpm) and maximum torque of 82.5 lb-ft at 9,750 rpm.

With overall weight of just 206.5 kg including fuel and Race ABS the S1000RR will also take its place as the lightest motorcycle equipped with ABS in the supersports category.

The combination sets a new standard in its class with a power-to-weight ratio of just 1.06 kg (2.34 lb) per horsepower with Race ABS.

The new BMW S1000RR has been designed not only to compete in the World Superbike Championship, but to take its place among the élite of supersports motorcycles.





 




Features and Specifications

You’ve gotta have it!

Speed has to be kept under control. And motorcycle control is exactly what we have been constantly reinventing over the last 20 years. The S 1000 RR represents a milestone in electronic rider safety: ultra-lightweight ABS (2.5kg), which can be used in conjunction with the extremely efficient DTC dynamic traction control (available as an optional extra) – quite unique for 2009.

Racing ABS for all conditions

You couldn’t wish for a more discreet ABS; it has fine control intervals, is virtually imperceptible in its operation, and is light enough to satisfy fans of low-weight bikes.



DTC – transparent traction control you can rely on.

This dynamic feature reacts reliably and efficiently to speed, lean angle, and operating mode (rain, sport, race, or slick). It was specifically designed to be as effective on the road as it is on the racetrack.



Radially mounted Brembo brake callipers

This is how today’s superbikes decelerate. Not only do brake disks mounted directly on the wheel rims look good, they also reduce unsprung mass.



A superlative engine.

An extreme bore/stroke ratio (80x49.7mm) and rocker arm-actuated valves for great stability at high engine speeds, compact construction and lightweight design – a genuine powerhouse which demonstrates its considerably ability at all output levels.



A design that doesn't just look good

Intelligently positioned slits behind the fairing minimise turbulence to allow the rider to maintain a relaxed head position, optimum air-flow around rider and bike ensures stability at top speed, while efficient flow-through makes for maximum cooling. Combined with plenty of eye-catching design features – that’s the way to do it.



Sporty seat positioning.

If you want to be fast, you have to adopt a relaxed racing posture. The way you sit must allow you to concentrate on the essential aspects of motorcycling – maximum enjoyment and perfect control. The looser you are on the bike, the easier everything else will be. Gone are the days when you had to bend yourself flat. Today's modern posture means you are actually sitting more in the bike than on it.

The Challenge for BMW Motorrad.

To successfully enter the World Championship with a Superbike today, a manufacturer needs a production model with the right kind of overall concept consistently applied in all areas. The essential factors, therefore, are supreme power, a wide range of engine speed, fast revving capacity also over a long period, optimum chassis stiffness, and perfect set-up of the engine.

Other features absolutely essential more than ever particularly in the top league of supersports motorcycles are simple and straightforward rideability, light-footed handling, absolutely outstanding all-round performance as well as safety features such as rider assistance systems like ABS and traction control giving the customer precisely what he needs.

Developing the RR, BMW Motorrad has entered completely new, unchartered terrain. Clearly, this meant a huge range of new challenges and responsibilities for the entire Development Team, but also gave the Team enormous motivation in seeking to set new standards.





The specific targets in developing the S 1000 RR were therefore clear:

•To achieve output and performance of the highest standard.

•To make the suspension absolutely stable, with top handling and supreme traction.

•To give the new machine that unmistakable, dynamic design of BMW Motorrad.

•To reduce the weight of the motorcycle to an absolute minimum.

•To ensure top quality typical of BMW .





Unique against the competition.

Over the years and decades, the principle of combining a straight-four power unit with an aluminium bridge frame has been consistently developed and has become the dominating technical concept particularly in the supersports segment. The reason, quite simply, is that a motorcycle of this kind offers significant benefits in terms of riding dynamics, long-distance endurance, and straightforward production.

Precisely this is why the new S 1000 RR also applies this concept with its proven fortes and advantages. But even while the S 1000 RR, in its concept teaming up a straight-four power unit and an aluminium bridge frame, may appear at first sight to have similarities with some competitors, the Development Team at BMW Motorrad has succeeded in enhancing the existing status of this concept in virtually every respect.

As a result, the S 1000 RR offers not only a wide range of USPs in terms of technology, performance, and design, but also, through its particularly compact overall layout, clearly demonstrates the high school of European engineering in the supersports four-cylinder segment.





Maximum performance and riding dynamics.

The consistent concept of the RR supersports is borne out in particular by the truly fascinating, innovative high-performance technology and incomparable riding dynamics of this new machine. The result is an exceptional combination of supreme riding precision and agility, on the one hand, with unparalleled engine power and performance, on the other, providing an overall package truly unique in the market.

Never before has a BMW motorcycle been conceived and built more consistently for supersports riding in terms of its concept and overall construction. But at the same time the new S 1000 RR retains many of the virtues so typical of every BMW to this day: Extreme sportiness and riding dynamics combined with supreme everyday riding qualities, playful handling together with supreme riding stability, outstanding performance combined with unparalleled active safety, as well as dynamic, unmistakable design in conjunction with optimum ergonomics and aerodynamics.





Free choice of engine characteristics as well as Race ABS and DTC Dynamic Traction Control

The new S 1000 RR also excels through features and qualities typical of BMW such as a long running life, superior quality of production and optimum environmental compatibility thanks to the use of the most advanced exhaust management with two fully controlled three-way catalytic converters also able to fulfil future standards and requirements.

Active safety when braking is significantly enhanced by Race ABS developed especially for the S 1000 RR as a genuine supersports and available as an option straight from the factory. A further most significant feature likewise contributing to active safety of the highest standard is DTC Dynamic Traction Control also available as an option and masterminded electronically for supreme precision and practical value.

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. And last but not least, Race ABS and Dynamic Traction Control are combined with the respective riding modes and coordinated with one another to ensure a supreme standard of performance and safety all in one.





Valve drive for maximum engine speeds, with single cam followers and titanium valves.

The primary objective in developing the new S 1000 RR was to create a supersports with supreme engine power combined with optimum rideability for the highest conceivable standard of all-round performance.

The water-cooled four-cylinder inline power unit chosen to provide these qualities is brand-new from the ground up, developing maximum output of 142 kW (193 hp) at 13,000 rpm and revving up to a maximum speed of 14,200 rpm. Maximum torque of 112 Nm (82.5 lb-ft), in turn, comes at 9,750 rpm.

The two intake and exhaust valves per cylinder made of extra-light titanium are operated by very small and equally light single cam followers. In conjunction with the short sprocket driving the camshaft via an intermediate gear, this ensures supreme revving qualities at the highest speeds as well as exact maintenance of valve timing combined with very compact dimensions.

The use of extremely small and light cam followers furthermore gives the engineer greater freedom in choosing the ideal valve lift curves and, accordingly, in selecting optimum performance characteristics on both road and track.

All engine components are particularly compact and light, limiting weight of the overall engine without ancillaries to 59.8 kg (131.8 lb) and keeping the entire power unit very slim and slender.





Innovative exhaust system with interference pipe butterflies for optimum power and performance.

Made completely of stainless steel, the exhaust system featured by the S 1000 RR is designed consistently for optimum power and performance. It works according to the 4-in-2-in-1 principle with four individual manifolds of equal length first merging into two pipes beneath the engine block and then extending into a large-volume pre-silencer. From there the exhaust emissions flow through a very short and dynamically designed rear-end silencer to the outside.

A homogeneous power and torque curve ensuring optimum rideability is acknowledged as the requirement for sporting performance on the road and fast lap times on the track. Precisely this is why the exhaust system featured on the S 1000 RR comes with two fully controlled interference pipe butterflies housed in two connection pipes for the two outer and two inner manifolds, in the immediate vicinity of the exhaust ducts. As a function of various parameters such as engine speed and the position of the throttle butterfly, an adjuster opens or closes these flaps, allowing exhaust gas to flow freely between the two manifolds or, respectively, interrupting the flow of gas. This coordinates the sequence of oscillations in the exhaust gas mass flow, reducing exhaust gas counter-pressure at the decisive point (like on a racing muffler) and increasing the cylinder charge accordingly.

This factor alone makes a significant contribution to the very high standard of homogenous overall performance offered by the S 1000 RR.





Lightest supersports with Race ABS.

The new RR offers the highest standard of technology also on its suspension and running gear. Weighing just 206.5 kg or 455.3 lb in road trim and with a full tank, BMW ’s new supersports is by far the lightest machine of its calibre displacing 999 cc and featuring Race ABS brakes.

One of the features that ensures this light weight is the aluminium bridge frame integrating the engine tilted to the front at an angle of 32° as a load-bearing element for optimum torsional stiffness on minimum weight. The front wheel runs on an upside-down fork with a fixed tube measuring an ample 46 milli­metres or 1.81" in diameter, while a torsionally stiff swing arm made of aluminium holds the rear wheel in position.

The spring and damping action required is provided by a central spring strut pivoting on a guide lever.

The rear frame section of the S 1000 RR is a welded light-alloy structure belted to the mainframe, combining low weight with superior stability and a high standard of robust strength particularly important to riders and teams on the race track.





Putting the rider right in the centre.

The rider’s seating position leaning forward towards the front wheel for an active style of riding is simply ideal for the sporting rider with his particularly dynamic style.

Developing the S 1000 RR, BMW Motorrad has given particular attention to the superior ergonomics of the machine, providing ideal qualities for both small and tall riders and therefore focusing consistently on the rider’s individual requirements. The tank section is as slender as on a 600-cc machine, giving the rider the assurance of excellent control and handling at all times.

In the process of developing the S 1000 RR, BMW Motorrad focused not only on a lightweight structure, but also on minimum, highly compact dimensions as an absolutely essential requirement.

To give the S 1000 RR an extremely slender front silhouette but at the same time to ensure a highly efficient flow of cooling air, the engineers at BMW Motorrad had to show all their skill, since, with cylinder bore measuring 80 millimetres or 3.15”, the power unit of the RR has the largest cylinder bore in this segment with a correspondingly wide cylinder head.

Technical challenges of this kind as well as a development period of just four years made the S 1000 RR the ideal project for consistent, all-out use of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) technology as well as the most advanced calculation methods, for example for the machine’s aerodynamics.

As the bottom line, the S 1000 RR is the absolutely ideal motorcycle for the customers of BMW Motorrad looking for new, unprecedented standards and qualities in the supersports segment.
