The guys at MCN put the BMW S1000RR to the test, against the new 2010 Fireblade, the Kawasaki ZX-10R, the Suzuki GSX-R1000 and most importantly the Yamaha R1.
If you’re a die-hard fan, you’d probably be more interested in an R1 vs S1000RR test, but this is a valid overall review.
There’s no Ducati or Aprilia in the test, so we take it that BMW is representing the European offering among the superbike sector (maybe the guys at MCN took the BMW S1000RR marketing campaign seriously).
In some ways, despite the “first attempt” at a BMW sports bike, we’re not surprised by the offering from what is a premium brand.
It will be difficult for BMW to conquer some of the more dedicated fans of the Japanese superbikes, and will probably be taken up first by those who were waiting for another European superbike offering with a focus on sophistication at a premium price.
The only controversy is that you’ll be turning the BMW electronics off, or buying one without, as it seems the S1000RR is almost too much the whole package for serious, experienced riders.
