Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 RR 2011

The most important changes to the S 1000 RR, however, were the numerous small adjustments to the chassis and geometry. Here we now benefit from thousands of test kilometres from the BMW test crew. This is logical evolution and a great step forward.

Improved driveability - optimised torque curve

plenty of power

strong engine

good traction point

immaculately functioning shift assist.

Accelerating load is very fatiguing.
