BMW S1000RR

BMW launched the RR in 2009, their first crack at making a superbike, and it set the world on fire. The 193hp 999cc machine thrashed every other bike in its class and four years later its only real close rival is Kawasakis ZX10R. The 190kg dry weight is heavier than it seems and many riders compare the size of the RR to a 600cc machine. Other than a fairly serious recall where connecting rod bolts were coming loose, reliability is said to be good. We recommend forking out the extra ?465 for the BMW Motorsport paint job that not only looks awesome but will also retain its value better. For ?13,735 you can have one of the fastest and best handling production bikes in the world. How lucky are we motorcyclists?
