After all the buzz surrounding the BMW S1000 RR, the world finally got a good look in person.
The highly anticipated BMW motorcycle was launched at the Monza racetrack during the Superbike World Championship race weekend.
The S1000 RR is said to be the most powerful and sophisticated motorcycle to ever be released (it weighs a mere 404 lbs!).
BMW’s prized piece comes in with 193 horsepower, a gearshift assistant for clutchless upshift (without sacrificing power) and advanced traction control.
The BMW S1000 RR (price TBA) aside from how beautiful it is, stands far, far above the competition for the time being.
