BMW’s New S 1000 RR is On the Way
BMW Motorrad USA has announced that the long-awaited S 1000 RR sport bike is expected to arrive in U.S. dealerships in December and will have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $13,800. A Pre-Sale Program is currently under way through December 31, 2009 to ensure that interested customers can secure themselves a place in line when the bike arrives stateside in early 2010. Interested consumers should visit their local dealer or www.BMWPlanetPower.com for more information on the Pre-Sale program.
“We have had tremendous interest in this bike since it was first unveiled in Monza earlier this year,” commented Todd Andersen, Marketing Manager, BMW Motorrad USA. “The S 1000 RR represents an entirely new dimension for BMW Motorrad and the sport bike segment. At this price, we expect a significant number of customers to take advantage of our Pre-Sale program. In fact, all of our first month’s production has already been sold through this program.”
Options for the S 1000 RR are available at the following prices:
Motorsports Paint Scheme: $750
Race ABS: $1,000
Race ABS & Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) $1,480
Gear Shift Assistant: $450
Anti Theft Alarm: $395
The S 1000 RR, weighing only 404 lbs and delivering a massive 193 holds the distinction of being the most powerful production 1000cc sport bike in the world. In addition to the class-leading power plant, the BMW S 1000 RR possesses new technical features, such as the first-ever four-stage Race ABS system with settings for Rain, Sport, Race and Slick conditions. The groundbreaking new ABS system weighs only about 5.5 lbs complete, nearly 20 lbs lighter than the competition.
