Flawless continuity. Can we thus simply state the most powerful missile created by BMW Motorrad?!? No, the S 1000 RR is much more than that. The one who rocked Behème in the world of hypersport is slowly approaching a decade of power. And if her figure has changed little since her appearance in 2009, she still knows how to provoke the same emotion. Engine side, the tone does not change: overkill. And whether it’s yesterday or today, you always have to seriously hang on to your bracelets.
Seriously revised in 2015, with firepower and an optimized chassis, the Bavarian fighter is content with a “Euro4 update”. What do you mean “is content”? Yes, the time has not yet come for a complete overhaul. The S 1000 RR already has something to blow the minds of a lot of people. Its 4 cylinders have been adapted to standards, without reducing it by an ounce of vigor. Officially spewing 199 horsepower – to the crankshaft or the rear wheel? 😉 -, this block is still among the nastiest on the market. A mill that not only puts out watts to tear your helmet off, but also anxious to make your spine throb. An S 1000 RR, it deposits, and we feel that we have experienced something once the sprint is over.
After allowing the engine to beat the connecting rods of the “pollutionometer”, the engineers can quietly refine the on-board electronics. As standard, there are three Riding Modes, Road, Rain and Race, supplemented by an ABS Race. The evolution of the S 1000 RR now offers traction control with cornering sensor, a refinement previously available as an option. Its sensitivity is adjustable on +/- 7 levels.
Hey, about options, what do we have in the catalog for piloting assistance? Still the automated start aid (Launch Control), the speed limiter for the pits (Pit Lane Limiter) and two additional piloting modes (Slick and User). Now there is also the ABS Pro, namely the anti-lock brakes which automatically modulates its power according to the angle of the motorcycle. Always useful when you suddenly grab the brakes while half-lying in the middle of an attack.
The S 1000 RR “Euro4” retains the chassis and peripherals of the old one, which had already had their share of modifications. Such as the reworked aluminum perimeter frame, the extended wheelbase, the more aggressive front end, and the reduced weight (- 4 kgs). Efficient, tense, imperial, sport. Moreover, BMW reinforces this image because from now on, this sports car is configured as standard in a single-seater version, with the seat cowl and the removal of the footrests. What moreover corresponds best to his identity.
But if we want to take the girlfriend, adrenaline fan, eager to grab the leather?!? No worries, just ask for the “passenger pack” when ordering – available free of charge as an option ex works.
Be careful while browsing this section; we quickly let ourselves be seduced by BM options. Between DDC controlled damping, Pro Riding Modes, heated grips, Pro Shifter (up & down), forged rims, cruise control, HP adjustable controls, carbon parts, electronic setting, silencer…. Lots of cool stuff that won’t leave you indifferent. But it all comes at a price.
Some retouching for the S 1000 RR, which allows it to assert its efficiency. She seems to fear neither the weather nor the competitors; which nevertheless give him more and more shame. Whatever. She remains a monster of power and a superbly accomplished tracker. Its only real flaws, if we can consider them thus, are the requirements of a serious level of piloting to take full advantage of it and an overly tempting list of options. But without being Troy Corser or Sylvain Barrier, the machine has enough to offer you great workouts..
Unusual fact: with the technological and price inflation displayed by competitors, the BMW is becoming one of the most affordable of hypersports – base price, of course.
