BMW S1000RR Revealed at Jerez

I heard the commentators on the MotoGP TV coverage mention this but I didn't see the bike. Looks good!

I can't wait to see/hear one in person.

Re: BMW S1000RR Revealed at Jerez

It's a neat bike, but I wonder how much it's gonna cost.
Their other superbike model costs $25k, so this has gotta be around 28-30

Me too. They said they were going to keep it competitive with the Japanese litrebikes, but I can't see how they'd keep it close to $10k. I'm thinking even $15k would be a bit low.

I bet it will be closer to Aprilia RSV4 territory...

During the Superbike race today the commentators were talking 15 k Euro.

The new R1 has a list of $12,400ish, so if BMW can come in at $13,500 to $14,500 they'll be in the neighborhood. Like the R1 the technology on the RR looks amazing. I bet they sell out.
