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

2010 BMW R1200GS with New Cylinder Heads,an Internal Revision, and Electronically Controlled

With nearly a third of sales come from the line of bicycles big GS, BMW needed to feed the animals regularly. It is a collective bunch of animals GS and GS Adventure fanatics are found in almost every corner of this planet.

With a fundamental role in the global success of BMW, GS is always in front of BMW's mind. These companies are trying to keep fresh GS, never willing to give up their central position in what is now known as Category Adventure Touring, the BMW segment unwittingly created in 1980 with the first motorcycle / Gelände Straße, the R80G / S.

2010 BMW R1200GS with New Cylinder Heads,an Internal Revision, and Electronically Controlled

New cylinder heads borrowed from the HP2 Sport is a key upgrade for the 2010 GS.
Sporting dual overhead cams new head (GS previously using a single cam-in-head design) along with radial valve arrangement that includes a larger intake and valves. In addition, a sodium-filled valves have better control all the heat valve experience.

Additional improvements related to the Boxer-Twin, including a new exhaust pipe with an internal revision, and electronically controlled valve flapper new exhaust, according to BMW, to help the new GS which currently meets the upcoming Euro emission standards for 2012.

Switch to the HP2 Sport cylinder heads and other updates listed above is good for 110 hp at 7750 rpm peak, increased from 5 ponies, and a gain of 3 pounds to 88 pounds-ft-ft at 6000 rpm. Also increased redline 8000-8500 rpm.

But get a little strength, says BMW, is only part of the story. More important than increasing the peak power is a big improvement in low power and a new mid-range flat-Twin provides.

From about 2500-5500 rpm, the engine in 2010 is said to open a gap large enough in torsion than the previous factory. According to the BMW-supplied dyno graph, the gap appears largest in 5000-rpm range, but before that point new GS is still making a lot more torque.

The power of a new bike and then trade places with a bike before, dipping in 5500 to 6000-rpm range where the torque of other bikes to increase. However, the new model takes a long time back then, the net beyond the old machine to the red pencil.
