The BMW S 1000 RR superbike is the fourth generation of a machine that first arrived on the scene in 2010, At a time when its rivals could barely muster a rear wheel 160 horsepower, the German wonder machine made 190bhp had MotoGP inspired electronics and race ready handling impressive for a company best known for sensible tourers and adventure bikes. Refined in 2012 and updated in 2015, it’s a multiple TT winner loved by racers and is the circuit weapon of choice for discerning track heads, Its long awaited successor has been four years in the making and new from the ground up. From its sultry looks and electronic gadgetry, to its fresh new easy feel the 2019 BMW S 1000 RR is a major departure from the previous model, Only the name remains the same. accurate and refined, it handles like a lightweight 600 CC supersport racer with the grunt of a V4 and the manic top end power of a competition superbike. Although the 2019 BMW S 1000 RR was pretty much bang on, the 2023 model takes another step forward, It has more power, new electronics including an advanced slide control system, stronger brakes, a flexier chassis with revised geometry and wings. Its level is way beyond most of us could ever hope to exploit and to even begin to use its electrical wizardry to go fast will take some serious talent, But thanks to its upgrades it’s not only a brutally quick superbike, but one with an even bigger safety margin on the road and track especially on worn tyres. It’s hard to say if it's dynamically better than the old one, but the engine ride and electronics are all smoother, making it the easiest of all the superbikes to ride fast. A new riding position is no less comfy than before, but the RR is more compact and airy light like a 600, It makes the old machine feel like a podgy tourer with a 20kg bag of spuds for an engine, Bars are splayed out further and you’re sat more in the RR up against a taller far slimmer tank. All-up weight is reduced by 11kg, the motor alone is 4kg lighter and the exhaust weighs less than the single cylinder BMW G310R’s, Steering is lighter crisper and BMW claims improved rear tyre wear on track. Gone is the old girder stiff chassis that could make the S 1000 RR tricky to set up on track, A new Flex Frame plush new Marzocchi semi active suspension and an underbraced swingarm, forcing the rear tyre harder into the tarmac on the gas all give more feel and confidence. Powerful new Hayes calipers have a friendlier initial bite than the old designer Brembos and show no sign of fade under hard use.
