2010 BMW S1000RR with Our Possible Modes: Rain, Sports, Race and Slick

2010 BMW S1000RR with Our Possible Modes: Rain, Sports, Race and Slick.

The base S1000RR retails for $ 13,800 in America, but we would ride bikes equipped with BMW's optional driver aids electronics. As with 98% of S1000RR pre-order, the bike has a $ 1,480 traction control and ABS option Race, plus the $ 450 gearshift assistant that enables full-throttle upshifts without the backing off the throttle or using the clutch. The only thing missing from the RR is fully optioned, red white and blue colors of BMW Motorsport, the choice of $ 750 that have been selected in approximately 50% of pre-orders so far. Bicycle Green Metallic taste tests at the unique acid, but other color options including classy Mineral Silver Thunder Grey Metallic or evil (black) metallic.

Heavily on advanced technology features such S1000RR. Base models include electronics that affect the power and throttle response for more than four possible modes: Rain, Sports, Race and Slick. Simple to select while stationary, but they can be changed even while riding. A press of the right side well damped switchgear select the desired mode, then you have 60 seconds in which to close the throttle and pull in the clutch that trigger the new mode you select.

Dynamic Traction Control / ABS option (one of which can be disabled if desired) add four-mode drivers on a few other tools, including various forms of control and ABS settings wheelie. Wheel-speed sensors supply information to the ABS and traction control, and demand that is placed under the chair provide additional data to the ECU bike to affect throttle response and to provide the size of wheelie control.

Without limiting the power output settings of Rain, S1000RR able to remove the full claimed 193 crankshaft horsepower, although more progressive throttle application than Slick Race or settings. Full-throttle acceleration is something close fierce, and I estimate the number of rear-wheel horsepower at 170, which will create the most powerful literbike S1000RR that are available.

In his spec chart, BMW claimed a maximum speed of S1000 is "more than 200 kilometers per hour," which is a joke because the uber-sport Beemer took the front wheels straight ahead beyond the 240 kilometers per hour - that's 150 mph to our Ah-mer- cans. Peak muscular torque of 82.6 pounds-ft at 9750 rpm arrived, while the 193 horses that ran stable at 13,000 rpm, 1200 revs short of its high speed limit.

A limitation of Sport and fashion wheelie Rain is a form of control based on wheel speed sensor data. If the style of the front tires off the ground acceleration, it will soon be spinning slower than the rear. ECU looked at the data as a loss of traction, and the wound strength of DTC and therefore bring the front wheel back into contact with asphalt, sometimes ungracefully
