The target is 190kg with 190bhp for the road bike. It will come with a quickshifter, Ohlins front and rear, Brembo brakes and there’s a lot of talk about the Engine: ‘s head too; something is special about it, there’s a possibility it contains pneumatic valves but BMW are being really cagey about it all.
BMW has also specified that the road-going version should be comfortable to ride and easy to move around on, despite being light and compact.
Adrian Roderick, general manager of BMW Motorrad UK told MCN that the S1000RR is unlikely to be in dealers until early 2010, as the World Superbike homologation rules give the firm until December 2009 to build road-going motorcycles.
While the firm has yet to set the price for the road motorcycle, it is aiming to keep it competitive, relative to Japanese superbikes.
