My bike is restricted to 155 MPH - by crap aerodynamics. :(PJ’s bike will be a sleek missile in comparisom - causing a sonic boom in top gear.

Achtung Baby!

Not sure about that Pete, not with me on board:P

so much for the 6k rpm or whatever run in period

I’m sure that will be bypassed. For race track use only of course.

Very nice PJ! did you get the sport one in Motorrad colours?

I got the Sport version but in Thunder Grey, i spoke to a local dealer and all the bikes he had sold were in the Motorrad colours so i decided against it. ABS, Traction control, quick shifter, Akro exhaust and an alarm.

Does it also come with a nappy when you kak yourself when you first open the throttle to 100%???

anyone know if its limited to 155mph? as most german cars car, especially M cars?!

I will be able to tell you about an hour after i have picked it up on the 1st March;)

I think you will find it’s limited to 186mph as are all bikes.

European manufacturers don’t necessarily adhere to the Japanese gentleman’s agreement (funnily enough ) so you might be pleasantly surprised that your speedo reads past 186 MPH (although you’ll still only be doing a slow 170 odd :laugh: )

What ever the top speed, it will be fun finding out;)

It looks like my take on their power claims were wrong!

184bhp

‘Say hello to the most powerful production bike in the world’

BiKE lays its hands on the first BMW S1000RR in the country and puts it through its first ever dyno run. Initially there’s disbelief, then it dawns - here’s the moment that everything changed.

As the redlined screams of a 1000cc inline four fade into a damp, mid-winter night, the number on a grubby computer monitor in a small, dimly-lit dyno room in the middle of nowhere bears the testament to the birth of a new era in sportsbikes.

The computer display shows the 183.7bhp at 13,200rpm. I’ll say that again: 183.7 brake horsepower. Mein Gott.

Fingers poke at the screen, collective jaws hit the floor. Grown men who should be above this sort of thing grin like naughty schoolboys.

This is a huge number. It towers over the Aprillia’s RSV4 Factory and Ducati’s 1198S by more than 30bhp. It’s 18bhp up on the ZX10R, Japan’s most powerful litre sportsbike. And it’s 3.7bhp better than Suzuki Hayabusa, previously the most potent stock engine BiKE has ever tested. And all this from an engine with only 400 miles on its bores, so a few more bhp may emerge as it loosens up.

As welcomes go, it doesn’t get much better than this. Sportsbike UK, say hello to the most powerful production bike in the world, the BMW S1000RR .

Wowza. :o

If you wanna read more buy the mag when it comes out to non subscribers.

Not quite the fastest production motorcycle - the MTT is 320bhp off the peg, and is classed as a production bike, the worlds fastest and largest BHP.

But the BMW is less than £15K !!! Good luck PJ, you are getting a lot of bike there mate but you can handle it.
See you on a ride when you get it.

Basically in a discussion about RSV4’s not selling too well, the S1000RR was mentioned and this was posted about them:

This could be one reason it is not selling too well…

Reduced: 40% of original size [ 1280 x 960 ] - Click to view full image

This one has 12 miles on the clock and is just over 200BHP at the wheel! Only had the pipe fitted and not been fully set up! It is also tiny for an inline 4!

When asked about whether the figures were good or not:

Yes it accurate… The dyno has seen loads of BSB bikes and this is going to be used in Superstock so IF the chassis is good I think it will be a winner…Only needs about another 10-15BHP to run with the best BSB bikes.
The bike just needs the traction control fitting but apparently the bike the race boys buy has an unlocked ecu so it can be programmed more easily than say a Ducati 1198R

It will end in tears or some japanese designers falling on swords later this year!!!

Loving the sound of this even more:P

Hurry up March;)

[SheWoolf]

Ooooh, I’ve been speaking with BMW in NY about this bike too. There’s a bike show this weeeknd so I can check it out there and my local dealer should have a demo for me to try in Feb. Standard cost here is $13,800 (GBP 8,625 ish) :Whistling: It might be more restricted here with crappy emission rules but if that is the case I’ll need to find somebody to ‘fix it’ for me :laugh:
