New BMW.... Mucho revised....
BMW Has just unveiled its revised 2015 S1000RR, with power up 6hp to 199hp and weight down 4kg to 204kg fully fuelled.
The German firm's flagship sports bike has been given a lighter frame and chassis geometry tweaks aimed at improving handling and feedback.
Torque has been increased at over 5,000rpm, with a peak of 83lbft and a 'wide torque plateau' between 9,500 and 12,000rpm, according to BMW.
Styling has been updated, with new bodywork and the trademark asymmetrical headlights swapped around to make it 'recognisable as new at first glance'.
Three-mode traction control and race ABS are standard. A further two riding modes and BMW's Dynamic Damping Control semi-active suspension, previously found on the high-spec HP4 version, are available as an option.
The optional extra electronics package also includes 'launch control' for 'flawless racing starts', plus a pit-lane speed limiter.
Other options include cruise control, a first for a superbike according to BMW.
The new S1000RR comes in red and white, metallic black or 'BMW Motorsport' colours.'[url]
