BMW has officially pulled the covers off of its S 1000 RR race bike, which will have a production model next year. BMW is building 1,000 units of the new model next year. Featuring a 1000cc inline-four transversely mounted between the frame rails and an upside-down front fork, the RR is rather conventional by BMW standards. So far, no specifications have been given regarding power levels. BMW plans to crack the top ten next year in World Superbike racing and is expecting podium finishes the following year. This is a great start considering Japanese Motor companies have decades of head start to BMW, good idea to set reachable goals now

 

pretty cool that BMW is taking on the establishment. interested to see this thing in production trim.

 

Finally! This is great news.

 

Damn, it's about time.....look forward to seeing more of this...

 

Nice!
I'll look forward to seeing what the production bike looks like.

 

Maybe BMW will finally have a bike with a big engine that's low enough I can sit on it! This looks cool.

 

They have a lot of catching up to do. But, BMW is definitely capable.

 

BMW is kicking ass lately. Next thing you know they'll put out a 600...

I can't wait for their 450x MX bike.

 

The numbers are looking like 180 at the rear wheel. Should be a hell of a bike as long as they keep I-Drive off of it!
