2012 BMW Superbike
When BMW released its inline-four S100RR in 2009, the machine
immediately received much praise from the media, dealers and owners.
The superbike returned in 2010 as a carry-over model, able to sustain
these praise. Although a top machine in the literbike category, BMW
totally revised the S1000RR for 2012, the superbike optimized based on
the feedback from national super stock race data.
BMW began with some engine refiments, although the BMW S 1000 RR's
engine remains the same mechanically. The 999cc, water-cooled
inline-four still pumps out 193 horsepower at 13000 rpm and 83 ft. lbs.
of torque at 9750 rpm.
Enhancements arrive in 2012 with a reconfigured throttle for crisper
throttle response and an optimized torque curve throughout the four
modes available (Rain, Sport, Race, Slick).
Speaking about the reconfigured throttle, BMW says "to date, engine
control consisted of four individual throttle curves for each of the
Rain, Sport, Race, and Slick modes. For the new RR, these have been
reduced to two: a characteristic curve for a particularly gentle and
sensitive throttle in Rain mode, and a second for immediately direct and
spontaneous response in the Sport, Race, and Slick modes.
"Following this measure, the rider now no longer needs to adjust to
the constantly changing throttle characteristics when switching
frequently between Sport, Race, and Slick modes. At the same time, this
also served to optimize the load change behavior."
Along with these modes, the other technologically-savvy features of
the 2012 BMW S1000RR - BMW Motorrad Race ABS and Dynamic Traction
Control (DTC) - have both been optimized for "perfect interaction."
For 2012, the Race ABS has been upgraded to match the new suspension
geometry of the S1000RR. Discussing the Race ABS, BMW says "by pressing
the lever, the rider receives feedback from the Race ABS as to when the
traction limit will be exceeded and the control range reached. The
rider feels controller feedback as a slight pulsing in the brake
levers."
The DTC has also been modified for the new geometry of the BMW
S1000RR. BMW explains, "for the new RR, modifications have been made to
reflect the new geometry, and wheelie detection has been optimized. When
wheelie detection engages, the throttle valves now open much more
gently. Moreover, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) has been optimized for
greater riding and control performance in the Race and Slick modes.
"The new DTC application is based on the BMW Race Power Kit for
better transparency during highly sporty maneuvers on the racetrack. The
experienced rider can therefore achieve faster lap times."
As stated, the Race ABS and DTC were upgraded due to the changes in
the suspension. For 2012, BMW revamped the S1000RR's suspension for
improved riding dynamics. Besides a redesigned frame, the 2012 BMW
S1000RR's chassis also features a new steering head and tail section.
BMW says there's "a 20% larger cross section of the intake air guide
in the steering head. The steering head angle is now 66° instead of the
earlier 66.1 degrees.
"The wheelbase has now been shortened by 9.3 mm to 1422.7 mm, and the
afterrun has been lengthened by 2.6 mm to 98.5 mm. The fork bridge
offset (front end) is now 2.5 mm shorter at 29.5 mm. In addition, the
fork projection is 5 mm shorter than in the predecessor model. These
modifications also included revisions to the steering head bearing for a
lower breakaway torque and hence greater steering precision."
Besides the chassis, BMW also revised the updside down fork and
spring strut, which features a new internal structure for a wider range
of damping forces. Also new for 2012 is a mechanical steering damper
that has 10 levels of adjustment.
But it didn't stop there; BMW improved ergonomics and
instrumentation, and the 2012 BMW S1000RR also arrives with revised
bodywork, most noticeably the fatter rear tail section.
And like always, factory customization is endless for the 2012 BMW
S1000RR. Riders with a particularly sporty bent can now equip their RR
with an HP titanium exhaust system (with or without ABE) or the HP race
data logger.
There are also optional heated grips, which offer two levels of
warmth. BMW says the grips can "take the bite out of the early morning
run on the racetrack or longer rides in cold weather."
And with this revision arrives new color options - Racing Red with
Alpine white, Bluefire, Sapphire black metallic and the famed BMW
Motorrad Motorsport colors.
Following are a list of the new features and specs on the 2012 BMW S1000RR. As of this report, no MSRP has been released.
