  | BMW S 1000 RR Superbike (Racing & Road Versions)     BMW took the wraps off its upcoming S 1000 RR World Superbike contender as the Motorrad division showed the new bike in its official race colors at the Intermot show in Cologne, Germany. Taking a good look at the photos, we can see that the bike is indeed very compact. Look through the numerous cutouts and vents in the fairing and you'll see how neat and tidy the new literbike is. Next year, new BMW factory riders Ruben Xaus and past Superbike champion Troy Corser will ride the 190-horsepower S 1000 RR in competition against the Big Four Japanese superbikes, the Ducati 1098 R and the new RSV4 from Aprilia. It should all be very exciting to watch. More: autoblog

 Anyone familiar with this series? Do they should it in the States on Speed? I'll watch a few, as I thought the MotoGP was always entertaining. So i'll give this a shot too | |

| re: BMW S 1000 RR Superbike (Racing & Road Versions) Holy cow I just saw the video for the development of this bike! This thing sounds completely BANANAS!!!! For 23 years, I've never really been a fan of bikes, but this thing kind of made my heart stop. When are the races supposed to start?! |
