<\/a>2012 BMW S1000 RR<\/p><\/div>\n
The upside down fork and the spring strut feature a new internal structure, providing an even wider range of damping forces from comfort to performance. Moreover, the suspension geometry has been modified with new values for the steering head angle, offset, position of the swing arm pivot, fork projection, and spring strut length to yield even better handling, steering accuracy, and feedback for the new S 1000 RR. This has required modifications to the main frame that also included enlarging the cross sectional area of the intake air guide through the steering head for greater air flow efficiency. This package of suspension optimisations is rounded off by an adjustable mechanical steering damper. The engine speed display has been redesigned for better readability. In addition, the display can now be dimmed and provides more functions. For instance, the lap timer can now present \u201cBest lap in progress\u201d, and if required, \u201cSpeedwarning\u201d can inform the rider when he exceeds a particular speed.<\/p>\n

The new features at a glance
\n\u2022 Optimised torque curve for improved ridability.
\n\u2022 Expansion from two to three performance curves (one each for Rain and Sport modes and an additional one for Race and Slick modes); Rain mode now 120 kW (163 hp).
\n\u2022 Reconfigured throttle for enhanced response (particularly gentle and sensitive acceleration in Rain mode, and immediately direct and spontaneous response in Sport, Race, and Slick modes).
\n\u2022 Reduced twisting force and tighter twistgrip angle.
\n\u2022 Smaller secondary ratio for boosted thrust.
\n\u2022 Refined tuning between Race ABS and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC).
\n\u2022 Enlarged cross sectional area of the intake air guide through the steering head for greater air flow efficiency.
\n\u2022 Better handling, steering accuracy, and feedback.
\n\u2022 Revised spring elements for an even wider range of damping forces.
\n\u2022 Suspension geometry modified with new values for the steering head angle, offset, position of the swing arm pivot, fork projection, and spring strut length.
\n\u2022 New mechanical steering damper adjustable over ten levels.
\n\u2022 Forged and milled fork bridge in a new design and with a smaller offset.
\n\u2022 Revised design with a leaner tail section, redesigned side panels, centre airbox cover with side aperture grilles, and winglets.
\n\u2022 For new colour variants: plain Racing Red with Alpine white, Bluefire, Sapphire black metallic, BMW Motorrad Motorsport colours.
\n\u2022 Revised RR logo.
\n\u2022 New heel plates and leaner stabilisers on the passenger footrests.
\n\u2022 Redesigned LCD engine speed display for better readability and with five dimming levels.
\n\u2022 Instrument cluster with the new functions \u201cBest lap in progress\u201d and \u201cSpeedwarning\u201d; deactivation of \u201cLamp\u201d fault message when headlamp or number plate carrier removed.
\n\u2022 Catalytic converters relocated, so no heat shield necessary.
\n\u2022 Expansion to the optional extras and special equipment ex works.<\/p>\n
2012 BMW S1000 RR Specifications and Photos<\/a><\/p>\n via BMW<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BMW has just released the photos and spec sheet of the updated S1000 RR. The bike is practically the same as the old S1000 RR, just with a tweeked engine and chassis. One of the primary objectives pursued for the revised S 1000 RR model was to improve ridability by boosting thrust and enhancing the linearity and harmoniousness of the power and torque curves. The reconfigured throttle improves overall response. The new, optimised design raises response sensitivity, tightens the twistgrip angle, and reduces the twisting force.
