2017 BMW S1000RR www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

The new BMW S 1000 RR – the virtually perfect supersport model has been further optimized. Ever since BMW Motorrad launched the S 1000 RR in 2009, the first 4-cylinder supersport bike made by BMW, the “Double R” has had a lasting impact on this market segment. Consistent and ongoing development has since ensured that the RR occupies pole position among the superbikes with road traffic certification. For the model year 2017 it was, once again, possible to further enhance the virtually perfect supersport bike.

Potent in-line 4-cylinder engine, adapted to EU4 requirements. The 999 cc in-line 4-cylinder engine has been adapted to meet the requirements of the EU4 pollutant class. The peak output is still 146 kW (199 hp) at 13,500 rpm and the maximum torque of 83 lb-ft (113 Nm) is reached at 10,500 rpm. In the interests of excellent rideability, the new RR also has a wide engine speed range along with torque from approximately 9,500 (83 lb-ft/112 Nm) to 12, 000 rpm (83 lb-ft/113 Nm).

FYI: "NEW for 2017" is more a "refresh and update", but still, it's a great model.

again for the 3rd week in a row.....meh.......I am sure it's a great bike both on and off the track, and those fans of the brand and model would hang from a the nearest tree limb for saying that the market is so saturated with these cookie cutter bikes that it is hard to tell them apart, apart from their badge. So yeah meh, lets see a new take on theme.

I think the bike is awesome. Would I buy one? Most likely not. I think I would rather have a sport tourer of some flavor, fjr, concour 14. Sure would be a fun bike though.

Obviously awesome. The RR is a celebration of everything that motorcycles are technically capable of.

I'm voting cool, but only because voting uncool would be a bit harsh. Nothing wrong with the bike itself, but it's been around since 2009 (with tweaks over the years). And overall, this has gotten to be a pretty uninteresting category in recent years. Maybe all the bikes really do seem the same, maybe I'm getting older and less interested, maybe bike culture itself is evolving, maybe there's a lot more interesting development in other bike categories.

Looks like we both are getting older and jaded Thumper.

I hear you about getting older and jaded. Me, I'm more of a touring type guy but I have to say that I have been watching BMW development and manufacturing videos on YouTube and find the quality and technology used in their bikes to be quite amazing. I am indeed glad I purchased a BMW. I once wasn't happy about the price, but watching what goes into each build makes me wonder why they don't cost more. This bike, while not my style, represents so much more than just the run of the mill crotch-rocket you initially see.

Plus my spine, wrists, and arse aren't exactly built for these things anymore.

So we got, old, jaded and crippled.......guess we might as well throw in grumpy into the mix as well.
