Overview

Introducing the 2011 BMW S 1000 RR, a motorcycle that redefined the sportbike segment and carved its place in the hearts of enthusiasts around the world. Priced competitively at $13,950 in the U.S. and €15,500 in Europe, the S 1000 RR stands as BMW's flagship sportbike, showcasing the brand's commitment to performance, innovation, and unparalleled engineering. This machine is designed not just for speed, but for a thrilling riding experience that merges comfort with cutting-edge technology, making it a formidable contender on both the racetrack and the open road. At the heart of the S 1000 RR lies a ferocious 999cc inline-four engine that delivers a staggering 190.43 horsepower at 13,000 RPM and 112 Nm of torque at 9,750 RPM. With a compression ratio of 13:1 and advanced electronic fuel injection, this powerhouse ensures an exhilarating rush, whether you're carving through mountain passes or laying down laps at the track. The 6-speed gearbox allows for seamless shifting, while the multiple-disc anti-hopping clutch ensures smooth engagement and helps to prevent rear-wheel chatter during aggressive downshifts. Coupled with a lightweight frame that weighs in at just 183 kg (403.4 lbs), the S 1000 RR offers an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 1.04 HP/kg, translating into blistering acceleration and agility that is sure to ignite your passion for riding. The 2011 S 1000 RR is not just about raw power; it is also equipped with an array of key features and technologies that enhance both performance and safety. Its bridge-type cast aluminum frame, combined with a 46 mm upside-down fork and a rear swing arm, provides exceptional stability and handling. With adjustable suspension settings for both rebound and compression, riders can tailor their setup based on personal preferences or riding conditions. The option for Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) on the double disc front brakes further elevates the bike's safety profile, ensuring confident stops under any circumstances. Additionally, the bike's digital engine management, complete with a knock sensor, ensures optimal performance and efficiency, achieving a respectable fuel consumption rate of 5.70 liters per 100 km (41.27 mpg). **
