BMW took the official wraps off its new literbike contender, the S1000RR, at the legendary Monza Racing Circuit last weekend in conjunction with an Italian round of the World Superbike Championship.
Although we already teased you with some details that have trickled out about the bike in our A Closer Look article, we now have been given full details about BMW's new Superbike contender.
The pertinent numbers are a claimed 193 horsepower (at the crankshaft) and a 403.5-lb claimed dry weight. In a ready-to-ride form including fuel, BMW says to expect 450 lbs of weight. DTC Dynamic Traction Control is an appealing option, as is the Race ABS that adds just 5.3 lbs to the bike’s weight. Also innovative is the RR's variable-length intake tracts that work in harmony with a 14,200-rpm redline, the highest among its rivals.
