BMW has set their sights on returning to the top step of the production-based Superbike podium next year with the all-new 2019 S1000RR. The upcoming model is the third different iteration of the Bavarian brand’s superbike and will serve as the tenth year of production since it’s debut in 2009. The very first model proved no shortage of perfor- mance power and has since led its respec- tive class in engine performance, but BMW Motorrad engineers have displayed their dis- satisfaction by taking the 999cc inline-four to an entirely different level. It’s a thoroughbred among sportbikes -- whether on the road or the racing circuit, it’s innovative technology allows the rider to experience performance with the utmost intensity.
The RR is designed to embody the epitome of a superbike. It’s distinctive design features like the split face and asymmetrical front headlamps make it instantly recognizable in the wild. The jagged design of the fairing and side panels alongside the sleek and gradual curve of the windshield promotes a desire for pure acceleration and high-level perfor- mance. It retains the shark-esque gills on the sides and the exposed rear portion of the engine, but now the front of the subframe
is exposed, similarly to KTM’s rambunc- tious 1290 Super Duke R. Full LED lighting ensures that you’ll stand out on the road
and will do an immense job of illuminating
all three of the different colorways offered in any lighting condition.
