This new Superbike from BMW weighing only 404 lbs, and putting out 193 hp, is one of the most powerful, sophisticated and lightest sport bikes to be unleashed on the planet. The BMW S 1000 RR introduces new technical features, such as the first ever 4-stage ABS system, with settings for Rain, Sport, Race and Slick conditions.
With its highly distinctive asymmetrical headlights, which follow the very elegant and unique asymmetrical body panels, this first BMW Superbike promises to standout from the crowd.
