2012 BMW S1000RR Review [Video]

noreply@blogger.com (ROCK STAR) — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:42:00 +0000

That BMW is a company with huge engineering resources shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. After all, it’s been building motor vehicles for more than 90 years and has a German stereotype to uphold.
Nevertheless, my biggest surprise at the launch of the 2012 S1000RR was the boundless enthusiasm each engineer, no matter if gray hair or no hair, showed in regard to sportbikes. There’s a lot more to this performance-driven crew than just building transportation appliances, as we found out at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia, Spain, where the bike’s 2012 edition was sampled by the world’s media last week.

For example, Ralph Schwickerath, the S1000’s chassis project manager, is not only a mechanical engineer but a former racer who is nearly as quick as Jurgen Fuchs, a BMW test rider who has raced in 250cc and 500cc Grands Prix. And the RR’s dual project managers, Rudi Schneider and Josef Machler, were both suited up and ripping around the grand prix circuit in a rare display among OEM senior managers. And then there’s 58-year-old Markus Poschner, BMW’s general manager for the K and S series platforms, who chooses the hardcore S1000RR among BMW’s selection of more comfortable models when he takes his wife out for rides in the Alps.

The New BMW G-650 GS Heavy Bike

noreply@blogger.com (ROCK STAR) — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:40:00 +0000

The new BMW G 650 GS Sertão

The sporty BMW single cylinder enduro for off-road and everyday.

With its new BMW G 650 GS Sertão, BMW Motorrad has added a new, sporting chapter to the history of single cylinders in the BMW GS family. Whereas the G 650 GS thrilled riders with its lean, wiry off-road stature, the G 650 GS Sertão promises even more sporting characteristics, even greater off-road capabilities, and an even stronger desire for adventure.

And all of this without any sacrifice to the established virtues of a BMW single cylinder endure such as everyday practicality, appealing price-performance ratio, and playful riding properties.

Chassis for greater off-road practicality, optimized touring properties, and dynamic design.

On the technical side, the new G 650 GS Sertão uses the established liquid cooled, high-torque single cylinder engine of the G 650 GS with two overhead camshafts, fuel injection, and double ignition. Its 652 cc displacement delivers 50 hp at 6500 rpm and a max torque of 44 ft/lb at 5000 rpm.

Whereas the G 650 GS chassis was developed primarily for country roads and light off-road use, the Sertão presents far greater off-road practicality in the form of longer spring travels and tighter tuning. In addition, it is fitted with wire spoke wheels.

BMW HP2 Sport Motorsport – uncompromisingly limited.

noreply@blogger.com (ROCK STAR) — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:21:00 +0000

BMW HP2 Sport Motorsport – uncompromisingly limited.

The BMW HP2 Sport caused quite a stir with its race track appearances - rarely has a 2-cylinder flat twin bike caused the competition so much trouble, it even outdistanced many a 4-cylinder bike. In the last 24-hour race at the Oschersleben Speedweek, both machines entered in the race finished in the overall top 10. One reason for this performance is the DOHC cylinder head*, which is being used for the first time in this fascinatingly engineered enthusiast’s motorcycle.

For all ambitious sports riders and keen flat twin fans a unique limited edition of 400 is now to be produced: derived from the paint finish of the Endurance machine, it is finished in the colours Alpine White /Indigo Blue / HP Red. As in the racing machine, the rims are finished in Indigo Blue at the front and Alpine White at the rear. Otherwise all the familiar specifications apply, including the material - leading to a sensational dry weight of 178 kg - and the impressive performance figures. In short: take the opportunity to put it away right now - or else use it for what it was built for and order a second set of rims for the rain tyres along with it!

BMW Heavy Bike High Performance

noreply@blogger.com (ROCK STAR) — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:16:00 +0000

High Performance Overview

Outstanding race results are inexorably linked with BMW Motorrad’s flat twin “Boxer” models. So it is an obvious step to build a high-end version! The result is the BMW HP2 Sport: the uncompromising realisation of the 24-Hour Endurance racer as a road machine. 100 per cent motor racing genes, licensed for the road. An exclusive sports machine by BMW Motorrad for motor racing connoisseurs and 2-cylinder enthusiasts which puts racing expertise into serial production – with power and authenticity. With an incredible air/oil-cooled 98 kW (133 bhp) and 115 Nm – a unique performance for a serial production “Boxer”!

For ambitious sports riders, the BMW HP2 Sport is the non plus ultra: consistent lightweight construction, excusive details and top-class materials give it truly unique quality. The self-supporting front and rear sections in carbon, even lighter forged wheels and filigree components reduce the dry weight to an impressive 178 kg. Exclusive motor racing features to be found in serial production for the first time such as the shift assistant which allows shifting without accelerator release and clutch disengagement, and the DOHC cylinder head with its four radially arranged valves. A maximum engine speed of 9500 rpm provides pure Grand Prix feeling!

Speed fans can enjoy complete banking freedom since the aerodynamic high-quality steel exhaust system has been moved under the engine and seat and ends in an attractive rear silencer in the single-section rear. The large-volume silencer provides an inimitable “Boxer” sound - an acoustic thrill for racers. The 2D GP dashboard derived from Moto-GP racing provides all information to the cockpit. The chassis, ergonomics and vehicle geometry are individually adjustable, guaranteeing excellent handling. This orientation to the rider’s personality is highlighted by the use of carbon: due the consistency of this material the trim is made almost entirely by hand, making every BMW HP2 Sport a unique specimen.

bmw GS Trophy in the mountains

noreply@blogger.com (ROCK STAR) — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 11:57:00 +0000

GS Trophy 2012 was the second marathon stage

Riding through the Paso Carirrifie into the forests of the Parque Nacional Lanin the riders hit a succession of terrain types, starting with clay and gravel roads over rolling hills, leading to deep sand on the plateau, then onto a tight and twisting mix of loam and gravelly tracks through the forest.

BMW Motorrad is looking for motorbike riders who are ready to take on the great adventure of a road trip across five continents. We'll be giving five bikers from around the world the chance to live almost every motorcyclist's dream.

What happens when something catastrophic happens in your life to prevent you from getting that sweet rush of joy and excitement from riding a motorcycle? In the case of Bert Pot, the lure of riding a motorcycle again was so strong that he set about making the impossible very possible.

New 2013 BMW Motorrad Rider’s Equipment

noreply@blogger.com (ROCK STAR) — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 17:39:00 +0000

BMW Motorrad has added some great new products in their 2013 rider’s equipment catalog. You’ll find many of these soon at your local dealership but not all will be available in all areas. For example, don’t expect any BMW helmets to be imported into the United States

BMW Motorrad has been developing its own motorcycle helmets since 1961. The System 6 EVO helmet is the current highlight of the “BMW helmets” products and is yet again setting the standard in safety, comfort, and design. The Race helmet, an all new development by “BMW helmets,” is already being used by five racers in the International German Motorcycle Championship (IDM).

The boots that BMW Motorrad is offering riders boast a wide range of functions and appealing designs. Like their predecessors, the new Allround boot is intended for beginners. Sporting a new color and numerous improvements, the tried and tested Rally GS Pro boot is to go where motorcycle boots have to fulfil the highest demands: offroad.

Gloves are an indispensable part of motorcycle equipment. The BMW Motorrad range provides the right model for every taste. The GS Dry gloves for both ladies and men are watertight and breathable enduro gloves thanks to GORE-TEX® X-TRAFIT™. The summer will be providing two models, the Rallye gloves for offroad and the ProSummer gloves for tours, both characterised by their lightweight and highly robust designs

functional wear always embodies a special utility value. That’s good – and even better when it comes from the BMW Motorrad collection. Some excellent examples are the Ride shirts. Also, they are made of recycled materials, and so boost that good feeling of having contributed to sustainability. The new Ride windbreaker finds space in the smallest of pockets.

Presenting a wealth of high quality and useful wear and lifestyle products, the leisure collections from BMW Motorrad Style cannot fail to make the hearts of fans beat faster. Whether fantastically designed jackets and shirts for him and her, distinctive caps and belts, or high quality bags or sleeves for smartphones and tablet PCs – the collection fuels ideas for the perfect gift.

BMW THREE DAYS RACE

noreply@blogger.com (ROCK STAR) — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 09:20:00 +0000

BMW THREE DAYS RACE

he Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain is making history, as Joan ‘Hurricane’ Barreda dominated the Baja Espana Aragon from start to finish aboard his Speedbrain-prepared Husqvarna TE 449. The legendary three-day race was held as the second round of the FIM Baja World Cup. Barreda staked his claim on this competition staged in the area of Zaragoza right from the beginning of Friday’s prologue. The Spaniard continued to set the pace on the opening special test on Saturday, where he managed to gap the field by four minutes.

This was a view shared by an overwhelmed team principal Wolfgang Fischer, who said, “I’m absolutely delighted to see Joan take his first major rally victory. This is a testimony of his capabilities. The Baja Aragon – the second round of the 2012 FIM Baja World Cup – has a long-standing tradition and is a very difficult race. It’s an event where you have to have the skills and the heart. We had a job to finish after last year’s inaugural attempt. It’s particularly special to add our own win to Stephane Peterhansel’s success in his Mini in the car category, making it a sweep for the BMW Group. Next stop for us is the Pharaons Rally in Egypt. Paulo Goncalves will be lining up as well and aiming to battle for a podium in the final world championship classification.”

Overall Ranking:
1. Joan Barreda, ESP, (Husqvarna TE449) – 6:00:52.0 (Husqvarna Rallye Team By Speedbrain)
2. Gerard Farres, ESP, 6:02:33.0, Bordone Ferrari Moto Italia, TM 530
3. Victor Rivera, ESP, 6:19:36.0, Club Aventura Touareg, KTM 530 Exc-R
4. Marc Guasch, ESP, 6:20:59.0, Gas Gas Factory, Gas Gas 450

BMW Record Sales for the Year IN 2012

noreply@blogger.com (ROCK STAR) — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 13:17:00 +0000

BMW Motorrad sold 59,189 motorcycles worldwide in the first half of 2012. While that’s down 2.3% compared to the 60,580 it sold in the first half of 2011, BMW Motorrad says it expects significant growth in the second half and therefore expects to reach a new sales record for the year. For June 2012, BMW Motorrad sales were down 13.2% (10,271 vs. 11,831 in June 2011).

As expected, the economic situation in the southern European motorcycle markets in particular led to a marked decline in purchasing activity among motorcycle customers in June 2012.” said Heiner Faust, Head of Sales and Marketing BMW Motorrad. “From a worldwide perspective, motorcycle markets are developing unevenly. All in all, BMW Motorrad has been able to assert itself well within this difficult market environment. For example, we are the market leader in the over 500cc segment in Germany, Italy and Spain. We will be providing a powerful purchase impetus in the second half of 2012 with our innovative new products such as the maxi scooters C600 Sport and C650GT, the new GS models in the entry-level and mid-range segment and other product measures. We are well on the way to achieving an all-time retail high in 2012.”

Worldwide sales of BMW brand vehicles climbed to 139,869 units (prev. yr. 134,444 /+4.0%) in the month under review. A total of 747,064 BMW brand vehicles (prev. yr. 689,884) have been delivered to customers worldwide since the start of the year – an increase of +8.3%.
Worldwide sales for MINI climbed 3.9% to 32,337 vehicles in the month under review (prev. yr 31,112). Year-to-date, MINI sales are up +7.0% to 151,875 units compared to 141,915 in the first six months of 2011.

35,000 Enjoy BMW Motorrad Days 2012

Three days of motorcycle mania have just come to an end, with this year’s BMW Motorrad Days breaking all previous records. The organizers of the annual BMW Motorrad Days were eager to get the party started early – one day early in fact – as the 2012 event celebrations started this year for the first time on a Thursday evening with a ‘warm-up’ party in Munich. Crowds of motorcycle enthusiasts flocked to the BMW Museum, which hosted this fun event to get everyone in the mood for a weekend of partying, BMW style.

One of the most disappointed guys out there was BMW Motorrad’s Chris Pfeiffer, who wasn’t able to perform his amazing stunt show because of the heavy rain. However, the freestyle ace would make up for it later. At the prestigious BMW Motorrad Zentrum flagship store, a selection of lucky ladies had assembled for a rendezvous and ride-out with top male model Marcus Schenkenberg.

With the legendary opening party taking place on the Friday night, thousands of BMW bike-nuts arrived from across Europe and beyond to spend a full weekend immersed in the world of BMW Motorrad. As expected, the party lived up to its promises and as the Saturday morning sun shone on picturesque Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the Bavarian town awoke to the familiar tune of Boxer engines, singles, parallel twins, fours and even six-cylinder machines making their way to the ‘Hausbergparkplatz’ for a day of fun-filled activities

Behind the scenes, the organization team was kept busy with ‘live chats’ via Facebook, so all the brand enthusiasts who couldn’t make the trip to BMW Motorrad Days were still able to closely follow the event online. The boys from Blitz Motorcycles answered questions from fans about their special custom BMWs, followed by stunt legend Chris Pfeiffer, globetrotter Michael Martin and former personal assistant to Nelson Mandela, Zelda La Grange, who just happens to be a huge BMW fan – and a GS rider! All spoke about their lives, passions, and love for the BMW lifestyle.

As has become the tradition on Saturday, Chris Pfeiffer took his spectacular stunt show to the streets of Garmisch-Partenkirchen town center, while back at BMW Motorrad Days, World Superbike stars Marco Melandri, Leon Haslam and Troy Corser were kept busy signing autographs and chatting to fans. The FMX freestyle riders wowed spectators around the main arena with an amazing display of gravity-defying tricks and moves, including ‘no-handers’, ‘no footers’, ‘fender-grabs’ and even back-flips.

For those who came to Garmisch-Partenkirchen – and there were over 35,000 of you – thanks for helping make it a fantastic event and a record-breaking year! All good things must come to an end though and although it’s always sad when BMW Motorrad Days finishes for another year, we can safely say that this year’s event was the biggest and best yet! Don’t forget that in 2013, BMW Motorrad will be celebrating its 90th birthday, so the party will be even bigger than ever before. Start planning your 2013 trip from July 5-7 now.

PROTECTION OF BMW BIKE

BMW FINANCIAL SERVICES INTRODUCED NEW WAY OF PROTECTING BMW BIKE have the potential to significantly reduce the impact of physical and financial obstacles on riders of the German-made motorcycles.THIS PLAN plan will provide replacements should the covered BMW motorcycle’s tires or wheels suffer any road hazard damage during the plan period, which can be purchased in one-to-five-year increments.it protects a BMW motorcycle owner who financed his or her motorcycle through BMW Financial Services should their motorcycle be totaled or stolen and their insurance carrier determine its value as less than that of the loan balance. Replacement – never repair – constitutes a key part of the Motorrad Tire & Wheel Protection Product with OEM or OEM-approved parts installed when the originals are damaged due to road hazards, including glass, metal, potholes, debris, nails, blowouts, etc.

unlukily, road hazards are a fact of life and wheels and tires take the brunt of them. This program provides just the kind of protection our customers want.” Road hazards are everywhere, regardless of topography and climate,” said McPherson. “Now a BMW motorcyclist can ride out of the dealership secure in knowing regardless of the obstacles he or she might encounter, should something happen to a relatively expensive wheel and/or tire, a BMW-specific replacement is fully covered at no additional expense.

2012 BMW S1000 RR SPORTS BIKE

BMW has recalled 1,414 of its S1000RR sportbikes due to connecting rod issues. BMW says the 2012 models affected were built from Sept. 1, 2011, through April 10, 2012.

BMW says due to a manufacturing error, the connecting rod bolts may become loose during high engine temperatures, and/or high-engine operating speeds that could result in catastrophic engine damage.

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the connecting rod bolts free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during May, 2012.

BMW R 1200 ST

noreply@blogger.com (ROCK STAR) — Sun, 27 May 2012 11:48:00 +0000

BMW R 1200 ST

R 1200 RT and the R 1200 ST have been designed for dramatically reduced weight compared to the preceding models as well as an impressive boost in maximum power from the all-new 1170cc, four-valve-per-cylinder Boxer twin.

the new Boxer engine produces 110 hp, 15 hp more than the outgoing R 1150 RT’s — and even 10 hp more than the R 1200 GS’s engine — while retaining a broad, flat torque curve. Moreover, the R 1200 RT weighs an astounding 70 pounds less than the R 1150 RT, while the R 1200 ST undercuts the R 1150 RS by an amazing 55 pounds

As on the R 1200 GS, the RT/ST engine employs the latest BMS-K engine management system. This is a completely integrated fuel- and spark-delivery system that uses sophisticated electronics fed crucial information by a host of sensors throughout the motorcycle. Anti-knock control allows the use of mid-grade fuel without risk of engine damage yet also maintains peak engine output when it is fed premium fuel. In this way, there are no compromises; the engine does not need to be “detuned” in the event premium fuel is not available.
