BMW S1000RR, S1000R, and S1000XR
BMW Motorrad Thailand has
showcased the BMW S1000RR, BMW S1000R and BMW S1000XR at the 2016 Thai Motor
Expo.
The revolutionary BMW S1000RR
focused purely on performance. It is powered by a liquid cooled 999 cc inline four
cylinder mill producing 198.5 PS of maximum power at 12,500 rpm and 113 Nm of
peak torque at 10,500 rpm. The BMW S1000RR gets Dynamic Traction Control, three
riding modes (rain, sport and race) and Dynamic Damping Control. Optional
features include Pro shift assistance and forged aluminium wheels. The gearbox
is a 6-speed unit.
The BMW S1000RR is suspended by
46 mm upside down forks with compression and rebound damping adjustable and
adjustable preload in the front and a mono shock in the rear allowing similar
levels of adjustment. Disengageable BMW Motorrad Race ABS is standard.
In its naked roadster form, the
BMW S1000R is a stripped down version of the faired monster. The same 999 cc
DOHC four pot mill produces a reduced maximum power output of 164.5 PS at
11,000 rpm and a slightly increased 114 Nm of peak torque at 9,250 rpm.
Features like Dynamic Traction Control, launch control and pit lane limiter are
standard.
Riding modes are down to two
(road and rain) and the bike gets a 6 speed transmission. In place of clip-ons,
it gets a conventional handlebar.
The third member of the family is
the BMW S1000XR which combines sports, touring and adventure. The 999 cc engine
churns out the same output as the naked roadster. Riding modes remain the same
(rain and road) while electronics include Dynamic Traction Control, Automatic
Stability Control. The wheelbase is 109 mm longer than the faired S1000RR.
