VEHICLE REVIEW
2009 BMW S1000RR
Great warrior in the racing tracks, Ultimate in speed, handling and technology
As the excitement builds for BMW Motorrad's introductory race to the Superbike World Championship at Phillip Island on March 1st 2009, the first series production version of the superbike has rolled off the production line in Berlin: the BMW S 1000 RR.Based closely on the series production bike, the race version has been performing extremely well in recent tests held in Portimao and Valencia. BMW Motorrad Motorsport Team Alpha Racing, as well as riders Troy Corser and Ruben Xaus are very impressed with the bikes progress and what the future holds in the Superbike World Championship.
The series production BMW S 1000 RR is a completely new motorcycle for BMW Motorrad with a compact and light 999cc in-line 4-cylinder engine. The dry weight of the motorcycle is 183 kg. Both its supreme performance figures and its outstanding riding properties make the BMW S 1000 RR an extremely attractive offer in the superbike segment. The engine has a very compact cylinder head and is narrow in shape. The valves are activated by means of very small, light cam followers, virtually at Formula 1 level in terms of their dimensions. This construction ensures very high engine speeds and allows maximum freedom in engine design in terms of torque and output. The BMW S 1000 RR optionally receives a newly developed sports ABS featuring four different modes as well as the dynamic traction control system DTC will be available. The principal function of the traction control system has been borrowed directly from the racing version. The distinctive design of the S 1000 RR reflects the bold and muscular style of the superbike segment but also clearly represents the brand BMW. The new S 1000 RR will be available in the four finishes Mineral Silver metallic, Acid Green metallic, Thunder Grey metallic and - based on the BMW Motorrad racing colours - Alpine White/Lupine Blue/Magma Red.

The New BMW S1000RR(Supreme aerodynamics, unique flash performer, Mega thrust)
The series production BMW S 1000 RR is a completely new sportsbike for BMW Motorrad asymmetrical styling has been applied to the RR-complete with mismatched headlamps, lopsided fairing vents and clever combining of black and painted panels to minimize the plastic-wrapped appearance typical of most sportbikes. It won't be mistaken for anything but a BMW, not even at a glance

It won't be mistaken for anything but a BMW, not even at a glance
A large, fox-eye headlamp on the left side of the fairing is paired with a smaller right-hand unit, shaped like a circle with the top edge cut flat. Although the fairing silhouette is mostly conventional (dictated by aerodynamics rather than a designer's pen), swatches of unpainted black plastic combined with relatively small painted panels (marked with a swirling pattern here to disguise their shape) will produce the visual illusion of a motorcycle with relatively minimal bodywork. Separate inner and outer fairing sections create an exit path for hot air leaving the radiator, which is ducted away from the motor by separate, gill-like outlet vents on the left and a single, larger diagonal opening on the right.
Technical specifications remain scarce, beyond BMW's stated 190 bhp/190 kg. (418 lbs.) power/weight target. BMW sources have let slip that the inline-four employs some manner of "positive valve operation," which many have taken to indicate desmodromics. BMW experimented with desmo valve actuation in the early '90s on its R1 Boxer prototype, and Ducati has proven that this is a reliable way to eliminate the power-sapping effect of valve springs, prevent valve float and allow higher revs. This is a credible suggestion, since the S1000RR is rumored to rev upwards of 16,000 rpm-a rumor supported by the shrieking exhaust note of the World Superbikes tested by Reuben Xaus and Troy Corser at Valencia, Spain.

Another possibility is some form of electronically operated variable valve lift system, similar to the patented Valvetronic system already offered on some BMW automobiles. This system is so advanced that engines using it no longer need conventional throttles, as the amount of fuel/air mixture entering the engine is controlled entirely by valve lift. Variable valve timing, along with variable-length intake tracts, ride-by-wire throttle and traction control, would make the S1000RR the most technologically advanced streetbike yet.
