Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

BMW S 1000 RR 2012

What remains is fascination, bewilderment and fear. You can't shake the uneasy feeling that you're not quite yourself on this bike. It feels like a heavy metal concert with earplugs.

Complete, electronic equipment

good braking system

strong engine

extremely fast on the road

appropriate appearance.

Chassis somewhat complicated and takes a lot of getting used to.
