Prototype Advantages Street Comparison BMW S1000RR Superstock Limited Edition



To help celebrate Ayrton Badovini’s complete domination of the 2010 FIM Superstock 1000 Championship (the Italian won nine out of the ten races, finishing second only in the tenth race), BMW Italia is releasing a limited edition BMW S1000RR street version of the winning superstock bike.



With only 50 units being made, and available only in Italy, lucky owners will get the already potent S1000RR, along with a bevy of aftermarket goodies like a Akrapovic “Racing Exhaust” (pictures show a slip-on though), Gilles Tooling rearsets and levers, carbon fiber panels, LED turn signals, and of course BMW Italia’s racing colors.

2011 BMW F800R Review


Attractive edge BMW F800R has finally arrived in America after 18 months of racing in Europe. 800R naked roadster is part of BMWs plan to capture a younger audience.

BMW Motorrad new ethos is to be more daring and state of the art, like the side of his BMW car and illustrated by S1000RR Superbike. Not only the RR to become the best selling BMW in the United States, the average age of owners just 34 years.

"A resounding success" is like Pieter De Waal, BMW Motorrad USA vice president, describes the S1000RR, especially given the current depressed market. "If the sale does not need anything to anybody," says De Waal, "you better give them a good reason to buy."

Then, in his quest for "younger, more aggressive riders," the futuristic city F800R is available to U.S. pilots for the first time, replacing the mechanical equivalent of the 2011 BMW F800S range. The 800ST unchanged.

The F800R is essentially a smaller version of the 800ST, which has earned our respect by beating Honda VFR800 Interceptor proficient in a sport-touring shootout.

Key distinctions beyond the obvious lack of 800R fairings are a double-sided swingarm to replace one side of the arm of ST and asymmetric double headlight bulbs H7 sports. ST low maintenance belt drive is replaced by a chain and sprockets in the same final drive ratio, and 4-6 gears are shorter. The sixth is the fifth report on the 800G.

At a list price of $ 9,950 (plus $ 495 destination), the F800R sells for about $ 1,000 less than the F800ST base MSRP is $ 10.990. Remove ST single sided swinger and belt drive with the price of R $ below that magic 10K mark. BMW officials say a belt system that costs more than a string.

Like a naked sport bike, is a decathlete F800R gender, able to barge his way through commuter traffic on Monday, then rip the canyons on the weekends. Comfortable upright ergonomics offers accommodating, with a piece handlebar just to go ahead - perfect.

Ergo fall a bit short with only marginal point seat room. The standard seat is sitting at a modest 31.5 inches, optional or no extra-charge get a seat-cm in both directions. Adjustable footrest would be a worthy addition to a versatile bike like this. The mirrors are mounted too low for easy rear views.

We need a new F800R updated to include the printed part of the interconnect device (MID) switches, where the laser creates a circuit and the conductors of plastic bags, instead of using individual cables for each circuit. This allows multi-function switch with compact size. For example, the functions of starter and kill switch is connected to a single switch.

A little more important information about the options: F800R is the last to abandon the German model of the BMW brand traditional three-button switch available to the combined indicators is the same right as all other bikes with the exception of Harley. All switches 800R feels accurate and smooth, and adjustable levers ensure a variable to reach.

BMW Roadster middleweight feel fine line between his knees, helped fuel tank, located under the seat. With a maximum of 4.1 gallons on board, R is said to weigh a reasonable £ 440.

FR fire easily and quickly installed in a slow motion. Its 798cc parallel twin, is well known for F800 owners with the firing order of 360 degrees even with a combustion event occurs with each rotation of the crank, the pistons move up and down together. This is the firing sequence same as used on BMW Boxer Twins, giving them a sound like the exhaust.

Despite an exhaust note without interest, the F800 engine is very efficient. BMW says it has more torque than anything else in its class and brings a strong effect of only 3000 rpm. The flexibility of the engine with the help of a gearbox fantastic - light, positive and transparent. Its only fault is a clutch that engages the end of his career in a fairly narrow area of ​​friction.

While the head design is similar to K1300-cylinder DOHC engines that use finger cam followers actuators, parallel twin is no screamer. It is a linear accumulation of power that will be strong at 6000 rpm, while its torque peak, run in front of the rear wheels of 80 horsepower, the climax, the measured 800ST The last time tested. BMW says to wait almost identical numbers.


New F800R is to use a variable system pressure of the fuel that feeds only the amount of fuel and timing based on the required power. This makes it more efficient than continuous flow, which varies only requires fuel, and the variance of the times, and eliminates the need and the fuel return hose. This refinement of the unit requires four times the processing power, and BMW says it offers better power delivery, better economy and lower emissions.


The F800 engine has already proven to be fuel efficient, on average, an excellent 48 mpg with our 800ST, although it requires premium fuel. BMW claims an average of 55 mpg for the 800R, which we were unable to check with our time limited places.

Perhaps the most adorable 800R is to set the chassis is very neutral in all situations in the corners. The address bars wide enough for a fast but safe Rake 25.0 degrees and 91 mm of travel, while a thin 59.8-inch wheelbase and a steering damper on the crown provides reassuring stability. It is a willing and able accomplice in a residential area on a mountain road sweeping.


Seventeen-inch wheels are equipped with semi-output to the valve stems, and are shod with 120/70 and 180/55 tires typical, open the bike up to almost any type of rubber. Our bike was a set of Michelin Pilot powers, and have no complaints with them.

In addition to a commitment is naked, while driving on the highway - an upright position and the lack of protection against the wind brings its own sacrifices. However, the F800R is paid pretty well. A slim waist and a fitting body color screens ($ 250) to manage the entire air flow directed to a broker, in relative terms.

As in the F800GS and 800ST, using a revolving line-Twin is running under the arm to counter the crankshaft vibration, an arrangement unique among motorcycle engines. Compensation rod up and down in the opposite direction of the pistons in a system that is quieter than chains or gears that drive conventional balance shafts.


However, some low amplitude generous feeling you experience at highway speeds. The engine turns about 5100 rpm 80 mph, which is just around the vibration seeps its way into the pilot. That said, the atmosphere is high frequency, so Im not entirely embarrassing. Although there is no room for the legs, a saddle hours causing pain in the ass to zero.

Smoothed over by a highway around a generous 4.9-inch travel on both ends. No changes for 43mm forks, but the rear suspension has spring preload and rebound damping regulations, as well as manually adjustable dial. This is a compromise between effective control and comfort, which is suitable personalities R.

The brake 800R is provided by a pair of Brembo two-piece 4-piston calipers clamping on 320mm wafers. Feel is pretty well across lines non-bending steel brake. Our bike has been improved with an ABS system performance, a $ 900 option. As the HP2 Sport, the ABS uses a pressure sensor that provides additional higher threshold before surgery ABS computer. The system is smart enough not to interfere only when the brake pressure light is applied, for example when braking over bumps. It is remarkably transparent, which means admirable.

Instrumentation is a variant of the F800S other indicators, here in the analog speedometer sits atop the analog tach, adjacent to the Info panel LCD, which can be connected to different screens. For example, our test bike accessory connections for tire pressure monitor ($ 250) and heated (250 dollars) each have their own readings. Gear-position indicator is a convenient and easy to read - we want the same can be said of small numbers in the speedometer.

F800R is an attractive platform and versatile, and one of its advantages over its competitors on a wide range of accessories and build it to your taste. A good starting point is the premium package, which includes ABS brakes, heated, and the trip computer and $ 1,445.

Other options include a handy 12-volt accessory outlet ($ 50), alarm ($ 395), expandable side bags and the center stand. Added Cosmetics codon, radiator with cover plate and the vacuum pump. Akropovic titanium exhaust is the only performance of the component.


Conclusion

We have repeatedly extolled the virtues of sport bikes naked, believing that offer the best compromise of versatility, performance and value. Our time aboard the F800R only reinforce the views. Heres a do-almost-all bikes from a manufacturer of premium sold for less than $ 10,000. In addition to the desirable options to raise the price (as proof, our cost of nearly $ 12K), but were happy so many people are available to customize for the pilot.

"This is a do-almost-all bikes with a high-end manufacturer that sold for less than $ 10,000."

A reservation of our commitment to the 800R is to note some competition brewing in other parts of the ancient world. BMW is not as glamorous as a Ducati Monster 796, and entertainment can not match the Triumph Speed ​​Triple chaotic. And do not forget the exotic Functional Aprilia Shiver. BMW three-year/36 0.000-mile warranty, he distinguishes.

That in itself is entertaining take on middleweight F800R Sport Roadster, with a clear advantage in the factory options. It remains to determine how it compares to its rivals class. Feel a shootout to come on

New 2010 BMW R1200GS Enduro Version

New 2010 BMW R1200GS Enduro Version
The New BMW R1200GS is one of a kind. Unstoppable machine that offers unlimited freedom for the rider. It is equally calm in the asphalt like a version of the R1200R so now only restriction on your touring is how homesick you get. It features a drive train upgrades, design and even more expressive, and, for the first time, Enduro ESA suspension option. The New BMW R1200GS Motorcycle even the most free of spirit for something reliable.

Year 2010 Model R 1200 GS boxer engine features a new update which gives you more torque at low revs, improved response and better acceleration in the rev range. Two-cylinder DOHC (double overhead camshaft) engine provides 120 Nm at 6000 rpm, and output has been increased to 110hp at 7750 rpm.

Features and Specifications:

The main features of the new BMW R 1200 GS and the
New BMW R 1200 GS Adventure at a glance:


• New, even more dynamic drivetrain now with two overhead camshafts per
cylinder and valves in radial arrangement.
• Increase in engine output by 5 per cent to 81 kW (110 hp) at 7,750 rpm and
maximum torque to 120 Nm (88 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm.
• Increase in maximum engine speed from 8,000 to 8,500 rpm with an even
wider range of useful engine speed.
• Signifi cantly better acceleration, torque and pulling power.
• Electronically controlled exhaust fl ap for even more muscular sound.
• Colour variants of the R 1200 GS: Alpine White non-metallic,
Magma Red non-metallic, Ostra Grey matt metallic, Sapphire Black metallic.
• Colour variants of the R 1200 GS Adventure: Smoke Grey matt metallic,
Brilliant Yellow metallic.
• Optional extras and accessories tailored to each model with BMW’s usual
high level of quality.
• New additional headlight in LED technology for the R 1200 GS (accessory).
New, even more powerful drivetrain with extra torque for even
greater driving dynamics both onroad and offroad.

Introducing the new BMW R 1200 GS and the new R 1200 GS Adventure,
BMW Motorrad is opening up yet another chapter in the story of highly
successful GS models which, for almost three decades, have been the epitome
of the large-capacity grand touring enduro.

Moving on from the former generation of the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure,
which already offered supreme power and performance as well as a very
broad range of practical riding qualities for long tours combined with supreme
pleasure on winding country and mountain roads, BMW Motorrad is now
enhancing this standard, as impressive as it already is, to an even higher level.

In its construction principle and fundamental layout, the new fl at-twin power
unit is the same as the DOHC engine on the BMW HP2 Sport. But marking the
new generation, the engine has been carefully updated and optimised for the
R 1200 GS and the R 1200 GS Adventure, tailored to the specifi c requirements
of a grand touring enduro.

With the 1,170-cc Boxer engine on the former models already ensuring
supreme power under all conditions and in all situations, the new R 1200 GS
and R 1200 GS Adventure have even more to offer in virtually every respect:
Delivering maximum output of 110 hp, reaching top engine speed up by 500 to
8,500 rpm, and with an even broader range of engine speed, the new GS
models are even more dynamic, powerful and muscular in terms of both torque
and acceleration throughout the entire speed range, thus setting the standard
once again for the grand touring enduro also in terms of riding dynamics.
New DOHC cylinder heads for even more effi cient cylinder charge.
Designed and built from the start for higher engine speed, the new fl at-twin
power unit in the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure, like the power unit
featured in the BMW HP2 Sport, comes with two overhead, chain-driven
camshafts (DOHC) per cylinder. The valves are operated by very light rocker
arms able to cope with even very high engine speeds through their low weight
alone. Radial arrangement of the four valves is ensured by the very compact
combustion chambers. Like on the former models, the fuel/air mixture is ignited
by two spark plugs (HP2 Sport: one spark plug), and the compression ratio of
12.0:1 is also the same as before.

Thanks to effi cient knock control, both models are able to run on premium
(plus) fuel with an octane rating of 95-98 RON (maximum output is measured
at 98 RON). Under certain conditions there may be a very small loss of torque
and a slight increase in fuel consumption as soon as knock control cuts in. On
long tours where the rider might be required to use inferior fuel, the engine may
also run on 91 RON regular fuel, using specifi c running data available as special
equipment free of charge straight from the factory.

Horizontal arrangement of the camshafts in the direction of travel gives the
new fl at-twin power unit two particular technical features: Each camshaft
controls one intake and exhaust valve and, due to the radial arrangement of
the valves, the cams come with a conical profi le. To increase both output and
torque, gas throughput has been increased throughout the entire speed range
by increasing valve plate diameter over the former models from 36 to 39 millimetres
(1.42–1.54") on the intake side and 31 to 33 millimetres (1.22–1.30") on
the exhaust side.

Intake and exhaust timing on the two camshafts has been optimised in particular
for supreme power at low and medium engine speeds and for even faster,
free-revving engine performance throughout the entire range. To increase the
free valve cross-section, valve lift is up by 10.54 mm (0.415") on the intake and
9.26 mm (0.365") on the exhaust side to 10.8 mm (0.425") on both sides. Valve
clearance is compensated by light semi-hemispherical shims.

More power and extra torque throughout the entire speed range.

The existing ratio of bore and stroke of 101:73 millimetres (3.98 : 2.87") remains
the same as before, as does the engine’s cubic capacity of 1,170 cc. Other
features likewise carried over from the former power unit are the crankshafts
and connecting rods as well as their mounts and bearings, while the two new
cast-aluminium pistons have been re-designed to match the change in combustion
chamber geometry.

Interacting with the upgraded intake system now featuring black instead of silver
throttle butterfl y manifolds as on the former models measuring 50 mm (1.97")
instead of formerly 47 mm (1.85") (HP2 Sport: 52 mm/2.05") opening clearance
and with newly designed intake air funnels and an air fi lter element with higher
throughput, the engine now develops maximum output of 81 kW/110 PS
at 7,750 rpm and peak torque of 120 Nm/88 lb-ft at 6,000 rpm. An oil cooler
ensures stable thermal conditions even when riding to the extreme.

In all, the modifi cations to the drivetrain provide a signifi cantly more homogeneous
fl ow of power and torque throughout the entire speed range. In this process
of technical development, the engines now feature magnesium-coloured
cylinder head covers with two instead of formerly four fastening bolts and come
in new, even more dynamic design. A valve cover guard made of aluminium
or plastic as well as a chrome-plated aluminium cylinder head cover may be
retrofitted as special equipment.

Electronically controlled exhaust fl ap for even more muscular sound.
Moving on to the exhaust system, the two manifolds are the same as before in
their design, length and diameter, while a modifi ed interference pipe caters for
the change in vibration conditions in the exhaust system.

Featuring an exhaust fl ap controlled by an electric motor as well as opening
and closing cables, both the new BMW R 1200 GS and the new R 1200 GS
Adventure provide a particularly throaty boxer sound naturally in full compliance
with legal standards. And to reduce ram pressure and improve the sound of the
engine even further, the rear silencer remaining the same in design as on the
former models comes with a completely new interior structure.

Ideal transmission of power through six-speed gearbox and drive shaft.
Power is transmitted as before by the proven six-speed gearbox with larger
bearing diameters and a modifi ed distance between the individual shafts already
upgraded technically for the 2008 model year. In the process the gear ratios
were once again adjusted and the secondary transmission has been modifi ed
from i = 2.82 to i = 2.91.

In conjunction with the new, even more powerful engine, this once again
means signifi cantly more torque and pulling force throughout the entire range
of engine speed.

The new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure also benefi t from optimised
shift kinematics with an optimised power/travel curve for precise gearshift and
clear feedback at all times.

The maintenance-free drive shaft to the rear wheel also remains unchanged,
relieving the rider of annoying and time-consuming maintenance requirements
particularly on long tours.

Proven running gear and high-performance brakes with Integral ABS.
Like their predecessors, the new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure offer an
almost perfect synthesis of offroad and onroad riding qualities. As in the past,
the stiff and torsionally-resistant suspension, front wheel guidance with the
unique BMW Telelever, and the rear wheel incorporating the BMW Paralever
guarantee fi rst-class and absolutely safe riding qualities also with the new
engine offering even more power and torque.

In conjunction with optional BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, extremely powerful
brakes serve additionally to provide maximum safety even in critical situations.
Optimum environmental compatibility, fi nally, is ensured also on the new boxer
engine through the most advanced exhaust gas management with a fullycontrolled
three-way catalytic converter.

Enduro ESA as special equipment for optimum electronic adjustment
of the running gear for every purpose.

Designed and built for the specifi c requirements of a grand touring enduro, Enduro
ESA Electronic Suspension Adjustment available also on the latest version of
the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure as an optional extra straight from the
factory allows adjustment of the running gear under all kinds of running conditions
and with virtually any load level, simply by pressing a button. An important feature
is that Enduro ESA offers both an onroad and offroad mode within which the
rider, choosing specifi c settings for the spring base and damping, is able to adjust
the suspension even more precisely to specifi c needs and requirements.

As usual, Enduro ESA meets the particular requirements made of a grand touring
enduro by additional electrohydraulic adjustment of the spring base on the front
spring strut. When riding offroad, this ensures a far smoother ride without the
wheel breaking through, and without the disadvantages otherwise experienced
onroad such as shorter negative spring travel or greater seat height.
Optimum ergonomics and even more practical features.

Made of a heat-treated aluminium tube, the high-quality and sophisticated
handlebar, interacting with two asymmetrically mounted clamps turning by
up to 180o, as on the HP2 Enduro Sports, may be fitted in two ergonomically
different positions. While the rear handlebar position for riding onroad and in
less demanding terrain ensures optimum ergonomics particularly for the shorter
rider, the front handlebar position offers advantages in particular when standing
up on the machine in rough terrain.

The hand protectors available as special equipment for the R 1200 GS are
fitted as standard straight from the factory on the R 1200 GS Adventure. In the
process of technically upgrading the successful R 1200 GS models, the instrument
cluster has received a new dial in new design. And last but not least, the
windshield now comes with larger hand-bolts with even better grip for adjusting
its position with greater ease.


Optional extras and accessories tailored to both the rider and the
machine.

As a genuine, fully-fl edged systems supplier, BMW Motorrad has developed a
wide range of optional extras and special equipment for further customisation of
the new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure. One particularly important new
feature is the additional headlights in LED technology.

Optional extras come directly from the factory and are fitted during production
