"OFFICIAL 2020 BMW S1000RR" Pre-release information and facts as best we have for now

We need a positive thread about the new up coming release of the exciting all new generation of BMW S1000RR.



There are those of you out there that have good access to release photos. Some of us are not on Instagram, Facebook, Europe social media, and many other sources today of how news gets around. In a positive constructive manner of sharing information however, we can all come together on the product we love and want to spend many thousands of dollars on. Lets share the positive release aspects of the new 2020 release of the BMW S1000RR.

Lets start with product information as we know it.

( Update: First K67 built was February 2018 )

USA is projected to get S1000RR bikes maybe in September of 2019 ( Update: First bikes released to California May 25th - 30th 2019 ) I got my K67 June 6th 2019.

USA is projected to get ordering and pricing in February or March of 2019

Europe was slightly ahead of USA with the release of the 2015, so I would expect Europe to see the 2020 maybe even as a 2019 release product. BMW has not put a year model label on the new bike anywhere I can find. USA already has a 2019 S1000RR so for sure, the new release is a 2020 model as per information by a local dealer.

@andyf provided : https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/models/sport/s1000rr-2019.html ... BMW have sent a memo to UK dealers (I assume that the rest of Europe will be the same) stating that the release date will be 1st June 2019. I have been told this by 2 separate dealers.

BMW's UK website lists the new bike as the "S1000RR 2019".
https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/mo...loverview.html

BMW's UK website has shows all the options and prices (for the UK). Colours are red for the base model and the Sport model, and motorsports colours for the M package.
https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/mo...00rr-2019.html
The new designation for the 2020 is K67 no more K46 in case you did not know what the 2010-2019 was called.
The new BMW S1000RR will come in 2 colors for its first release. You either get

Motorrad MotorSports Blue White with Red accents ( Committed to the racing tradition. The Motorsport finish sends a clear signal far and wide: Here's a powerful machine full of sportiness, agility and dynamics )

Racing Red / Black ( Racing red finish says what everyone understands: This superbike has racing genes and is ready to face any opponent. )

The all important HorsePower release numbers are USA > 205HP .... Europe > 207HP
BMW website : you've got 152 kW (207 HP) underneath you. Unbridled power pushes your RR to the max - with a maximum torque of 113 Nm at 11,000 rpm and a torque curve of at least 100 Nm over a range of 5,500 to 14,500 [rpm].
Front suspension is by Marzocchi Marzocchi | Bombproof Mountain Bike Suspension
The rear is Sachs-sourced shock absorber SACHS Clutches, Shocks and Dampers
The 2020 will have an " M " package platform release add on. It appears right now it is only called M package on the Motorrad color S1000RR.
The 2020 has the new TFT cluster which is the same cluster as on other BMW 2018/19 R1250 bikes.
The 2020 has an upgraded engine which includes the "shift cam" technology. ( see below personal experience of shift provided by @RRob )
The 2020 will be called a GEN3 according to BMW press release information. This is not consistent with previous thoughts that the 2015 was GEN3 over the previous models of 2010-2014 being GEN1 and GEN2. It appears dealer information released in 2015 about the new 2015 was not correct in generation platform presentation.

The features of the 2020 M Package For the first time, BMW Motorrad offers M options and M Performance Parts for the new S 1000 RR.
Carbon wheels
Lighter battery
Seat choice options for leg height
Folding levers ( Later to be called M version levers )
Rearsets

You can get the 2020 with DDC or NON-DDC

There is Race Package, Dynamic package.

The RACE PACKAGE will give you 3 "RACE PRO Riding Modes" that you can setup the amount of
Wheelie Control
DTC - Dynamic Traction Control
Engine
Engine Braking
ABS control
DDC - Dynamic Damping Control ( if equipped )


Subset of information to the M package provide by @z00 with a little updating:
  • M package, carbon wheels, 200 tire, 5.5mm rotors that are Brembo
  • Race package, forged wheels, 200 tire, 5.5mm rotors that are Brembo
  • Any M parts like carbon wheels can be purchased separately as single addon units, Motorrad (blue/white) color bike has to have M package
  • Base model, cast wheels 190 tire, non-floating front rotors, 5mm ( not sure 100% on this size and make of rotors )
  • Upper Triple clamp and clipons are made of one unit. This will require buying a triple clamp from BMW or maybe aftermarket to be able to "add" aftermarket clipons
  • Legit race swing arm, race and M package swing arm have adjustable pivots
  • DDC has adjustable shims
  • Under tail section has handles for passengers to hold onto and vents to cool electronics under the seat
  • Oil sight glass and fill cap in clutch cover are on the same side of the engine ( thank you BMW Engineers )
  • M seats have three heights; taller or shorter by .5" from standard
  • BMW's own calipers made by Hayes Company and they now have a performance website > Home - Hayes Performance Systems

Subset of Shift Cam experience provide by @RRob
If the Shift Cam technology on the new 1250 is any indication of how the new RR engine will make power, it's going to be stellar. If you ride a 1200 and 1250 back-to-back, which I have (I use to sell them), you immediately notice how the power is delivered and where in the rev range (read; sooner and at a higher percentage). Smooth as silk, too. I'm thinking a power curve akin to a current combination of R and RR, but pumped up a bit!


Product release info video with BMW Design Engineer Josef

Powertrain
“The redesign of the RR engine confronted us with a considerable challenge in a number of different ways,” powertrain project manager Jörg Vogt says. “An even higher peak output combined with increased torque in the lower and medium engine speed range—these are apparently incompatible opposites. With BMW ShiftCam Technology we managed a quantum leap.”

What’s ShiftCam? It’s the Variable valve timing system introduced on the redesigned 2019 BMW R1250GS that employs a camshaft with two different lobes manipulating each of the eight intake valves. Applied to the S1000RR, the system utilizes partial-load lobes below 9,000 rpm to boost engine torque while also reducing excess mechanical noise and increasing engine efficiency (BMW claims a 4-percent reduction in fuel consumption).



The 2020 will have an all new ECU. The label name of the ECU is BMSO. The MPU is still the same TC1793 from the BMSMP and BMSMS used in the 2017-19 S1000RR. The ECU is slightly larger than all previous S1000RR ECU's. Send me a PM if you want your USA model to make 207HP ECE levels of performance. I have it figured out already on this issue. I have the BMSO ECU and the TFT cluster for development. All I am waiting on is the 2020 EWS ignition switch still.

Can't wait to hear road reviews of the bike.

Does anyone know when the international press will be able to ride the new bike?

I’m sure there will be a press launch at some sunny racetrack soon.

This a great start, thank you BMW_388!

I'll add some bits that were lost from other thread.

- M package, carbon wheels, 200 tire, 5.5mm rotors
- Race package, forged wheels, 200 tire, 5.5mm rotors
- Any M parts like carbon wheels can be purchased separately, white color bike has to have M package
- Base model, cast wheels 190 tire, non-floating rotors, 5mm
- Triple and clipons are made of one unit, will require buying a triple clamp from BMW to be able to add aftermarket clipons
- Legit race swing arm, race and M package swing arm have adjustable pivots
- DDC has adjustable shims
- Under tail section has handles for passengers to hold onto and vents to cool electronics under the seat
- Oil glass sight and fill cap on the same side
- M seats have three heights; taller or shorter by .5" from standard
- BMW's own calipers
- Troy Corser's coaching school will have new RR for their track days starting in April in Europe, US prices and availability to be announced after Chicago show. Wonder when CSS will have the new RR.

@Dylan Code

Positive posting on CSS and Dylan Code making mention about getting the new 2020 in 2nd quarter "maybe"...

https://www.s1000rrforum.com/forum/...-superbike-school-thunderbolt-may-1018-a.html
I have a hard time getting a firm answer when the new model will be arriving, mainly because our contacts in North America have not been given any definite word yet. From what I can tell there are no interchangeable parts with the earlier generation bikes except the folding footpegs. Apparently everything else is all new. This means a lot of manufacturing and supply chain things to get coordinated. Additionally it seems BMW is making a definite planned approach to releasing it versus rushing to get it out to the market and compromising quality in some way. It looks like Germany is taking care of all the details on this one. Should be a great bike!

Just did my first track day with the 18,,, I like it a lot, short 2.4 mile track. I might convert the 18 to track only and get the 2020 for street or vs versa

had ideas about getting a 19 R6 for the two short tracks here in tx but putting that on hold now.
 
#73 ·
The R6 is way better choice for the track if you ask me. And depending on the track, a good rider could even overpass liter-bikes ridden by not so experienced riders.
Also you won't be so anxious about crashing since it costs nearly half the money.
But the most important advantage is that it doesn't have so many aiding systems and power as the s1000rr which make you lazy and delay the learning curve.


I kind of agree with you, but honestly riding 205 hp sport bike capable of doing 180mph on public roads is already not very justifiable, so mind as well get all the bells and whistles!! ?
hahaha, yeah, If you put it that way, I kinda agree with you too... But still, the way I wrote it, you get the forged ones and then after a while you can have aftermarket carbon ones too. Less money, possibly more quality and you also get the chance to witness with your own eyes the "before", not only the "after" and judge if it's a hype or not, for future reference... >:)

Its in the cluster. I saw the screen for it on the bike at the Dallas IMS show. It however did not have the TPMS sensors in the wheels and there was ? marks next to the tires.
 
#31 ·
There is no problem with the code. BMW just limited the HP to 205 USA vs the Europe ECE code gets an honest 207 Plus. Not the first that I seen the ECE code better than the USA code. I can change the VIN in the ECU so that it loads with ECE code while maintaining all other aspects being equal.

BMW reports power in Nm for each model, if it were a conversion difference it would have been shown. The difference in HP in US is prob due to EPA and US spec.
