When BMW declared the S1000RR, they claimed noesis figures of 193hp at the crank. While the country collection winner on quoted noesis figures, OEM claims on H.P. are “ambitious” when viewed in modify the most approbatory of light. However as Bike found discover in the housing of the S1000RR, it would seem that BMW might have actually under-promised on the bike’s action potential, and then over-delivered.
With 183 EEC-corrected horses existence rhythmic at the rear-wheel, the S1000RR makes 13hp more than the preceding collection leader the Kawasaki ZX-10R, and probable boasts a 200+ H.P. amount at the crank. MCN, miss business to Bike, attributes the sand-bagged noesis amount to a reluctance on BMW’s part to advertise a 200hp motorcycle, especially in the European market.
We’d be disposed to agree with this conclusion as there’s a ontogeny back-lash in aggregation over the ever crescendo action figures of motorcycles, which is existence fueled by young riders and their risky street antics, among other things.
