The BMW S 1000 RR is a motorcycle model of the superbike / super sports class from the German motorcycle manufacturer BMW .
The motorcycle was presented at the Intermot in Cologne in 2008 and has been produced at the BMW plant in Berlin in Spandau since the beginning of 2009 . From the end of 2012 to 2014, the BMW HP4, optimized for the racetrack, based on the S1000RR (K46) was offered.
The third generation was presented at EICMA 2018, with a weight below 200 kg and an output of over 147 kW (200 hp). The factory code is K67. The machine is specified ready to drive with 157 kW (207 PS) and 197kg. Special features are the engine's camshaft with adjustable cams, called Shift-Cam by BMW, and the carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic wheels offered as special equipment .
Design features
The S 1000 RR (K46) is designed as a homologation vehicle for participation in the Superbike World Championship .
Motor / power transmission
The 59.8 kg four-cylinder in-line engine has a displacement of 999 cm³ and a crankshaft with a 180 ° crank pin offset. The four cylinders have a bore of Ø 80 mm, the pistons have a stroke of 49.7 mm, and the connecting rods are 103 mm long. With a stroke ratio of 0.62, the motor is designed to be quite short-stroke. In contrast to similar engines from other manufacturers, the 16 valves (33.5 mm intake and 27.2 mm exhaust valves made of titanium) in the cylinder head are not actuated via bucket tappets , but via extremely small, carbon- coated rocker arms, which, according to BMW, have significantly lower inertia forces than bucket tappets cause. This means that higher speeds and sharper control times can be achieved with lower friction losses and better filling. According to BMW, the engine should reach speeds of over 14,000 rpm. The compression ratio is 13.0: 1.
The engine control can be set in four modes (Rain, Sport, Race, Slick) and controls the variable-length intake manifolds and the optional traction control . In Rain mode, the maximum output is reduced to 110 kW (150 PS) (163 PS from 2012 model), while Slick mode is only activated after inserting a coding plug (activation lock).
The power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a multi-plate oil bath clutch with anti-hopping function , a six-speed gearbox with straight-toothed gears and dog gears and a sealing ring chain.
In a test bench test, an approved series machine developed 147 kW (200 hp) at 12,400 min −1 , the maximum torque was 123 Nm at 9,400 min −1 . Compared to the motorcycles of the competition, the engine had an additional output of approx. 14.7 kW (20 PS) in 2009.
landing gear
With the S 1000 RR, BMW does without in -house technical features such as Telelever front wheel guidance and cardan drive with Paralever . Instead, the motorcycle is equipped with a light metal bridge frame , upside-down fork and two-arm swing arm with an indirectly hinged mono spring strut, as is standard in this class. The steering head angle is 66.1 °, the caster is 95.9 mm apart.
The vehicle is optionally available with an adjustable anti-lock braking system weighing only approx. 2.5 kg and a traction control system. The dry weight is 178 kg.
Fuel supply
The fuel tank holds 17.5 liters, of which four liters are in reserve. The manufacturer recommends the use of unleaded gasoline with a knock resistance of at least 95 octane .
Competitive models with comparable vehicle characteristics are the Ducati 1199 Panigale , Honda Fireblade , Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R , KTM 1190 RC8 , Suzuki GSX-R1000 , Yamaha YZF-R1 and the Aprilia RSV4 .
BMW S 1000 RR 2020 (K67)
The third generation of the BMW S 1000 RR was presented at EICMA 2018. The engine was newly developed and now has a camshaft with adjustable cams, called Shift-Cam by BMW Motorrad, which increases power and torque at low speeds. The water / oil-cooled four-cylinder in-line engine with 999 cm³ now delivers 152 kW (207 hp) at 13,500 rpm and has a maximum torque of 113 Nm at 10,000 rpm. Together with the regulated 3-way catalytic converter, the engine complies with the Euro 4 standard. The motorcycle weighs 197 kg when ready to drive.
Use in racing
BMW has been involved in the Superbike World Championship with the S 1000 RR SBK since the 2009 season . The works outings were managed by the Rosenheim team alpha Racing . The semi-works team alpha Technik-Van Zon-BMW has been driving the IDM Superbike with four drivers since the 2009 season . In 2013 the works team moved to Milan and ended the works superbike race in the same year.
In the Superbike TT race on the Isle of Man on May 31, 2014 , Michael Dunlop achieved the first TT victory for BMW in 75 years on a BMW S 1000 RR . At the finish, after six laps on the Snaefell Mountain Course, he had a 20.5 second lead over second-placed Guy Martin ( Suzuki ). The last winner ahead of Dunlop for the Munich team was “Schorsch” Meier in 1939 in a BMW 255 Kompressor .
A racing version without road approval has also been available since 2017 .
reliability
Compared to competitor models such as the Suzuki GSX-R 1000 or Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R , the 50,000 km long-term test by Motorrad magazine showed notable defects: A broken-in inlet camshaft (a hardening error according to BMW), timing chain tensioner, wheel and steering head bearings as well as were criticized Exhaust flap. The S 1000 RR reached 20th place in the endurance test.
