BMW S1000RR – 2011
Cadre n° WB105070XBZ073816

Présentée en 2009, la S1000RR était la première incursion de BMW dans le domaine pointu des superbikes ; c'était celle qui permettrait à la firme allemande de se mesurer frontalement à ses concurrents japonais et italiens. Et elle fut à la hauteur, avec la plus forte puissance de sa catégorie, 190 chevaux à la roue arrière délivrés par un moteur de 80 mm d'alésage, le plus super-carré de sa catégorie. Son électronique de pointe proposait à l'utilisateur quatre modes de puissance, et la S1000RR version Sport offrait en série un quickshifter, un ABS de course et un antipatinage DTC. "La BMW donne l'impression qu'elle pourrait sans effort abattre le 400 mètres en 10 secondes et transgresser la limite admise des 300 km/h en un temps record," écrivait Motor Cycle News. "Sa tenue de route en version standard va faire grimacer les autres constructeurs." Et, avant même d'avoir remporté le Championnat du monde des superbikes, la BMW S1000RR s'était imposée au TT de l'île de Man lors duquel elle remporta trois épreuves majeures qui établirent la preuve de ses capacités routières inégalées. Peter Hickman (Smiths Racing, sur BMW S1000RR) détient toujours le record du tour au TT, à une moyenne de 217,9 km/h.

L'exemplaire proposé n'a jamais été immatriculé ; il est muni d'un certificat de conformité émis par le constructeur.

2011 BMW S1000RR
Frame no. WB105070XBZ073816

Introduced in 2009, the S1000RR was BMW's first venture into cutting-edge superbike territory, enabling the German firm to compete head-on with its Japanese and Italian rivals. And compete it did, delivering a class-leading 190bhp at the rear wheel courtesy of an 80mm-bore engine that was the most over-square in its class. The advanced electronics offered the rider a choice of four power modes, while the S1000RR Sport version came with a quickshifter, race ABS, and DTC traction control as standard. "The BMW feels like it could do 10-second quarter-miles without breaking a sweat and pass the 'gentleman's agreement' 186mph limit in record time," declared Motor Cycle News. "Handling in standard trim will make the other manufacturers wince with embarrassment." And while the BMW S1000RR has yet to win the World Superbike Championship, it has proved the absolute master of the Isle of Man TT course, winning three Senior races to demonstrate its unrivalled capability on real roads. Peter Hickman (Smiths Racing BMW S1000RR) currently holds the TT lap record with an average speed of 135.452mph.
