BMW S 1000 RR 2020

BMW S 1000 RR 2020

A real "all-rounder" superbike. The BMW knows how to play to its strengths both on the race track and on the country road. Thanks to variable camshaft control, the powerful engine is already convincing at the bottom end and accelerates harmoniously across the entire rev range, with plenty of power in every range. For the hobby pilot, the chassis certainly functions excellently in every situation, provides transparent feedback and offers many adjustment options. The seating position is sporty yet relatively comfortable. The electronics work very harmoniously without patronising the rider - TOP!

The throttle grip is pulled open, the K pushes forward and then, when you take a short break on other motorbikes, you simply stay fully on the throttle with the souped-up K and push in the next gear. A real gem for demanding races.
