BMW has released new videos of their latest super duper bike: S 1000 RR. The super beemer has the most horsepower and best power-to-weight ratio of all 1000 cc bikes available for the consumers. Some of you might have read our previous articles on the S 1000 RR Superbike, but in case you haven’t, here is a short recap.

BMW S 1000 RR Superbike is powered by a brand new water-cooled four-cylinder inline power unit which outputs 193 horsepower at 13,000 rpm and revving up to a maximum speed of 14,200 rpm. Maximum torque of 82.5 lb-ft of torque comes at 9,750 rpm, while only weighing 455.3 pounds with a full tank of gas. All engine components are compact and light, limiting weight of the overall engine without ancillaries to 59.8 kg (131.8 lb).

BMW S 1000 RR can be equipped with ABS and Dynamic Traction Control systems. As a curiosity, the ABS system weighs only 5.51 lbs. The new S 1000 RR is the lightest machine of its caliber displacing 999 cc and featuring ABS brakes.

Optional features include Optional DTC Dynamic Traction Control in conjunction with Race ABS for optimum performance.

Oh…almost forgot about the asymmetrical headlights which drives crazy some of the beemer fans, even though we kinda dig it.

    I am so excited for this bike! I had a GSX-R750 which sadly was totalled 4 months after riding off the lot :( in an accident which was not my fault. but this bike is soo damn good looking especially from the side. and putting an Akrapovic exhaust on is a perfect match! aside from being a BMW it’s got killer specs. this will for sure be my next bike. the Ducatis are nice but you just can’t beat this performance and pricing! can’t wait to see a superbike shootout!
