A while ago we introduced the new BMW S1000RR with a full official photo gallery, but BMW Motorrad has also put out a promotional video for the second generation of its commercially successful superbike.
The 2012 S1000RR features slight but significant improvements over its already brilliant predecessor: recalibrated electronics, smoother power delivery, revised geometry, slimmer tail section, new side panels, re-designed instrument cluster and the obvious new range of color schemes just to name a few.
Beside, we just cannot wait to see this beauty in action in the 2012 World Superbike Championship.
The virtually untouched 999cc in-line four engine still produces a claimed 193 hp with 112Nm of maximum torque, but its four engine power maps (Rain, Sport, Race and Slick) have been modified in an effort to enhance response.
Changes in the chassis include a revised frame with a slightly sharper rake angle and a 9.
3 mm shorter wheelbase, larger air intake through new upper frame rails, larger shock piston and a new adjustable steering damper.
BMW Motorrad also offers some interesting optional extras for the RR, most notably a HP titanium exhaust system, a HP race data logger and heated grips.
