    Default Officially Official: BMW S1000 RR with pics, specs, and video







    Autoblog:

    BMW has finally pulled the wraps off its new S 1000 RR superbike, and let's just say we're anything but disappointed. First, the most important bits: 193 horsepower at 13,000 RPM, 82.5 lb-ft of torque at 9,750 RPM, 455.3 pounds with a full tank of gas. For those keeping track – which is probably just about anyone interested enough to read this post – those statistics are enough to give the big Beemer the most horsepower and best power-to-weight ratio of all literbikes intended for public consumption.

    Technophiles and anyone else wanting to post the best lap times possible will also be pleased to know that the S 1000 RR will be available with factory ABS and an extremely advanced traction control system. There's also an HP Gearshift Assistant that will allow for full-power clutchless upshifts.

    Surely the most controversial element of the bike's otherwise conventional styling will be the asymmetrical headlights, which are the only immediately noticeable link to the rest of BMW's motorcycle lineup. Expect U.S. sales to begin early in 2010 for what's expected to be a rather attractive price. Want to know more? Click past the break to see a video of the bike in action and BMW's official press release.

    Video in link.

    Asymmetrical lights look great.

    Imo, the front looks much better than the Aprilia RSV4.

    Looks like a Decpticon...

    Not too fond of the styling of it.

    The lights are based on those found on endurance bikes.

    Suzuka 8 & Bol d'Or for example.

    My comment wasn't addressing personal likings.

    It was for those that didn't understand why they would chose asymmetrical lights.

    I'm confused as to why they need a gear indicator on a supersport bike, much less the honking HUGE one on that LCD display.

    Bike looks decent.... looks like Kawasaki won't be the only ones wearing green from now on.

    I like everything about it but the lights. Of course I'm the guy who can't drive a car with one "euro" stripe because its not symmetrical. The one feature would drive me nuts and I would sell it. I guess its like the Ferrari 599, can't deny its performance but its just not pretty to me.

    watching the latest MCN, they point out that the lights are not the only thing that isn't semetrical. The fairings are different as well. It is slits on rider right and a big hole on rider left.

    Kinda like what you find on the Lamborghini Murcialago LP560-4
