The new 2013 BMW S1000RR

This exotic beast shocked the world when it first came out. It is a liter bike that can compete with much bigger bikes like the Hayabusa. The new 2013 BMW S1000RR is considered to be the top of the liter bike class. its horse power, handling, and braking blows the competition out of the water. Personally I'm not a big fan of the looks but the staggering figure's are beastly. While it’s fair to say the potent 160-hp bike received a lot of attention with its edgy, multi-angled looks, low nose and high tail, the 2011 S1000rr is not really a naked. Rather, thanks to two large body panels flanking the powerplant, plus a pair of lower coverings, it’s more of a “scantily clad” bike in our book. Directly derived from the S1000rr with its aluminum perimeter frame, the claimed-456-lb.-wet 2014 S1000R has been designed to offer good everyday comfort while still being able to tear up the tarmac like few other sporty bikes. The formula begins with BMW’s familiar 999cc inline-4, retuned to deliver improved low- and midrange power and torque for better real-world performance and acceleration, aided by a programmable quickshifter. According to BMW, the S1000rr engine puts out 160 hp at 11,000 rpm, and 83 pound-feet of torque at 9,250. More intriguing, BMW says the “ride-by-wire” E-gas engine puts out 7 more pound-feet of torque than the S100RR’s engine below 7,500 rpm. Much of the improvement in low-end response, says BMW, can be attributed to redesigned cylinder head ports, modified cam profiles and revised engine management. Due to its engineering and acceleration this sport bike enthusiast gives the new 2013 BMW S1000rr a 5/5 stars
