Overview

Introducing the 2014 BMW S 1000 RR, a formidable contender in the sport motorcycle segment that continues to evoke admiration among enthusiasts and riders alike. This German marvel, priced at approximately US$ 15,150 and UK £11,150, is engineered for those who crave the rush of high-speed performance paired with cutting-edge technology. With its aggressive styling and race-bred heritage, the S 1000 RR stands out not just as a piece of machinery but as a statement of power and precision on two wheels. Whether you're tearing up the racetrack or carving through twisty backroads, the S 1000 RR promises an exhilarating experience that few can match. At the heart of the S 1000 RR lies an impressive 999cc in-line four-cylinder engine, delivering a staggering 193 horsepower at a breathtaking 13,000 RPM. This potent powerplant generates 112 Nm of torque at 9,750 RPM, ensuring explosive acceleration and thrilling top speeds of 125 mph (201.2 km/h). The advanced electronic fuel injection system, coupled with a high compression ratio of 13.0:1, allows for instantaneous throttle response and superior fuel efficiency of 5.40 liters per 100 km (43.56 mpg). Lightweight at just 178 kg (392.4 lbs), the S 1000 RR boasts a power-to-weight ratio that accentuates its agility, making it a dream for riders who aspire to slice through corners with confidence and precision. Innovation is at the forefront of the S 1000 RR, equipped with technologies that enhance both safety and performance. Its race-ready features include a 4-mode disengageable Race ABS and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), allowing riders to tailor their ride according to conditions and preferences. The bridge-type aluminum frame not only contributes to the bike's lightweight construction but also provides exceptional rigidity and handling. The front and rear suspension systems, featuring an upside-down telescopic fork and an aluminum swing arm with adjustable damping, respectively, ensure that the motorcycle maintains composure over various road surfaces. Add to this a suite of color options including Granite Grey Metallic Matte and Racing Red, and the S 1000 RR becomes a visual feast as much as it is an engineering masterpiece. **
