BMW S1000R Thread

From MCN UK

BMW’s long-anticipated new S1000RR-based super naked has just been unveiled at the Milan Show and these are the first official pictures.

It features a retuned, 160bhp version of the S1000RR’s 999cc inline four engine, an electronics package including BMW’s Race ABS, ASC traction control and two power modes, kerb weight of just 207kg and is expected to be priced under £10,000.

I like it.

Nice, with 12800 Euros in Germany quite a bit cheaper than the 1290 Super Duke R which comes at 15495.

Looking forward to a comparison between those two.

I can't wait for the naked shootouts this year!!!

Very interesting. Will it come to the US, though?

I can never understand BMW's obsession with asymmetrical headlights.

Awesome bike! Fantastic pricing too - they are going to sell a lot of these in Europe.

This must be answered!!!!!

"Often only the rich could afford to have them custom-manufactured and the poor had to settle for poorly-fitted monocles that were less comfortable and less secure."

Want. To take a test ride. Own? Na...

It is that cute wink as they pluck Franklins from your wallet!

WOW!!!!

I'm not much of a sports bike, or naked bike, fan, but WOW!!!

Oh my.... :eek1

I am biased since I wear roundel underwear on purpose and I have a deep, lustful love for all things BMW, but damn I just love that thing. So wild. Fantastic bike!

Why do I have a feeling the US market won't get to see this beast?

I wonder if the upper triple and bar will fit a 2012+ S1000RR

I'd be shocked if it didn't - but you might have to change the cowling too.
