BMW launched the most anticipated new sport bike in recent memory, the S 1000 RR, at the famed Monza racetrack during the Superbike World Championship races.

 

This new Superbike from BMW weighing only 404 lbs, and putting out a massive 193 hp, is one of the most potent, sophisticated and lightest sport bikes ever unleashed on the planet.  The new S 1000 RR is the most powerful production 1000cc sport bike in the world.

 

In addition to the class-leading power plant, the BMW S 1000 RR introduces new technical features such as the first-ever 4-stage Race ABS system with settings for Sport, Slick, Race and Rain conditions.  This groundbreaking new ABS system weighs only about 5.5 lbs complete, which is nearly 20 lbs lighter than the competition.    

 

With its highly distinctive new asymmetrical headlights, which follow the very elegant and unique asymmetrical panels, this first BMW Superbike promises to standout from the crowd of liter-class bikes.
