![]() It was offered in multiple race kit packages, ranging from the stock claimed 144 kW (193 hp 196 PS) of the S1000RR all the way up to a claimed 158 kW (212 hp 215 PS). The HP4 also introduced combined braking, meaning that in all modes except slick, the back brake is applied automatically when the rider applies the front brake. The riding modes of the HP4 differ from the standard bike, in that it allows for all 144 kW (193 hp 196 PS) to be accessed in four modes. The bike was given an electronic controlled interference pipe and acoustic valves, allowing air to flow into the exhaust and burn unused fuel as well as upgraded Brembo Monobloc brake calipers. ![]() The HP4 was fitted with a Dynamic Dampening Control (DDC) system that updates and makes changes to the suspension every 11 milliseconds, responding to various sensors as well as throttle input and is adjustable on the fly, a first on any production motorcycle. The 2013 HP4 saw the ride-by-wire system again taken to a level unseen outside of the WSBK and MotoGP. However, BMW introduced the HP4 variant, a more track-oriented version of the standard S1000RR. In 2013 the bike did not receive updates to the same extent as the 2012 bike. Smaller visual updates included grilles on the side of the tank plastics and a new "RR" logo. The 2012 visual updates included new heel plates, a slimmer-looking tail section and reshaped side panels with plastic winglets said to improve aerodynamics at speed. Lastly, the spring rates and valving in the suspension were overhauled, including special check valves to allow for completely independent compression and rebound adjustment, coupled with a 10-way adjustable steering damper. The triple clamp on top of the fork was also updated to a forged aluminium component. The angle of the steering head was also revised and the offset of the fork was reduced by 2.5 mm (0.1 in). The wheelbase was also reduced by nearly 10 mm (0.4 in) through a tooth addition in the rear sprocket (45). The chassis was also updated, with the front suspension being lifted by 4 mm (0.2 in) and the rear being dropped by 5 mm (0.2 in). The optional DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) was also updated, smoothing the butterfly valve action when a wheelie was detected, providing a less violent intervention to the bikes front wheel lifting off the ground. This allowed for the oil sump heat shield to be removed, saving a small amount of weight. The intake and exhaust systems also received updates, the ram air intake was made to be 20% larger, as well as moving the catalytic converters to the muffler from the headers. To further aid this issue, BMW updated the throttle tube to be lighter and have a shorter pull. It was given a new face of the tachometer as well as new throttle maps for each of the four riding modes, to combat throttle response issues that customers were facing with the bike. ![]() In 2012, the bike received slightly more significant changes. The 2011 bike remained unchanged, keeping the same livery options, engine, chassis and suspension. After the initial delivery of motorcycles the factory started shipping them with a software governor that limited RPM to 9000 for a short break in period that was later removed by the dealers. This is a clutchless shifter that allowed you to upshift with no clutch actuation even at full throttle. It was also the first production motorcycle to offer an optional quick shifter. On top of this, it came standard with three riding modes (Wet, Sport and Race) with an additional riding mode (Slick) available only after connecting a dongle, that you received with the bike, to a special jack under the seat. The bike came factory fitted with ABS and dynamic traction control, a first for road-going superbike at the time. The S1000RR was released in 2009 and was considered the best-equipped sport bike in the 1000 cc category, and with a bore and stroke of 80.0 mm × 49.7 mm (3.1 in × 2.0 in), it also had the biggest bore in its class.

It has a standard anti-lock braking system, with an optional electronic traction control. īMW made 1,000 S1000RRs in 2009 to satisfy World Superbike homologation requirements, but expanded production for commercial sale of the bike in 2010. It was introduced in Munich in April 2008, and is powered by a 999 cc (61.0 cu in) four-cylinder engine redlined at 14,200 rpm. BMW S1000RR is a race oriented sport bike initially made by BMW Motorrad to compete in the 2009 Superbike World Championship, that is now in commercial production.
