2010 BMW S1000RR

SteveO had to cross oceans for the chance to ride the new BMW S1000RR.

Could this be the "The Ultimate Driving Machine" two-wheeled equivalent?

The S1000RR offers a Dynamic Traction Control system(DTC).

With the DTC system in the Sport mode, full power of the S1000RR is avaiable to the rider.

Up front, the S1000RR allows riders to raise or lower the front end to customize the handling.

The S1000RR feels very small but fits nearly all size of riders.

The S1000RR may weight in at a claimed 455 lbs. wet, but with a low center of gravity, it doesn't feel like it.

The ABS was the only item that took some getting used to on the S1000RR, but with the option to turn it off, handling and braking was spot on.

The thin 10-spoke aluminum wheels help shave weight. Paired with Brembo four-piston calipers and the S1000RR stops on a dime.

With a compression ratio of 13:1, it pops the front tire up with ease.

Whether you love or hate the design of the S1000RR once you ride one, it will no longer matter.

BMW S1000RR: Utterly amazing power harnessed by a communicative chassis and very adjustable suspension, plus high-tech electronics, make for a bike that should no doubt push the envelope of liter-class machines worldwide.

BMW took the Inline-Four approach for its Superbike project, but features more oversquare configuration at 80 x 49.7mm.

The 33.5mm intake and 27.3mm exhaust valves are made from lightweight titanium and feature a narrow valve angle. The valve springs are supplemented by a hydraulic tightening mechanism to eliminate vavle flotation.
