Spot It!: BMW Motorrad's S1000 RR

January 21, 2015

BMW has rolled out its new sports superbike, the S 1000 Double-R. It was originally designed for the race track, and that's where we test drove it: on the Circuit Monteblanco in Spain.

The engine has been re-designed to deliver slightly more power and enhanced torque. 199 horsepower and cutting-edge technology make this Beamer superbike the fastest on Earth. And when acceleration takes priority, the optional HP Shift Assistant Pro comes into play, letting the rider shift both up and down without ever hitting the clutch.
