Check out these specs from the BMW press release-
Introducing the new BMW S 1000 RR on the legendary Monza Racing Circuit,
BMW Motorrad is for the first time launching an absolutely innovative supersports
with a straight-four power unit.
With this world debut, BMW Motorrad is indeed establishing a true milestone in
the world of sports machines, combining 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.
With a rumored price of about $15,000.00, it will undercut some of Ducati’s offerings by a fair amount and be just slightly higher than the Japanese big 4. The S 1000 RR could end up being the liter bike bargain!
