“We have had tremendous interest in this bike since it was first unveiled in Monza earlier this year,” commented Todd Andersen, BMW Motorrad USA managing director said in a release. “The S 1000 RR represents an entirely new dimension for BMW Motorrad and the sport bike segment. At this price, we expect a significant number of customers to take advantage of our Pre-Sale program. In fact, all of our first month’s production has already been sold through this program.”
The motorcycle is powered by a 999cc in-line four-cylinder engine that develops 193 bhp, with the dry weight rated at 183 kg. The S1000RR features the first-ever four-stage Race ABS system with settings for Rain, Sport, Race and Slick conditions. The water-cooled four-cylinder inline power unit is developing maximum output of 142 kW (193 hp) at 13,000 rpm and revving up to a maximum speed of 14,200 rpm. Maximum torque of 112 Nm (82.5 lb-ft), in turn, comes at 9,750 rpm.
In addition to the bike per se, Motorrad offers the following options:
- Motorsports Paint Scheme: $750
- Race ABS: $1,000
- Race ABS & Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) $1,480
- Gear Shift Assistant: $450

The production version of the S1000RR was unveiled in the last weekend of May at Miller Motorsports Park, during WSBK races. Since then, ambassadors for the bike have been traveling to dealerships to promote it.
