With the occasion of promoting the BMW S1000 RR sport bike, the manufacturer decided to try something different than the usual commercial, especially considering how technology has evolved. For this reason, the Serviceplan company was chosen to add some subliminal advertising to the clip. See bellow the explanation and full ad.



BMW S 1000 RR

The Munich-based company used what’s known as an after-image to print the BMW logo on the eyes of the audience that attended the experiment but the logo wasn’t visible on the screen and couldn’t be seen until Ruben Xaus, the star of the clip, gave the magic command “Close your eyes”. When the members of the audience closed their eyes, the logo instantly appeared to everyone’s amazement.
A lot of positive feedback was provided at the end of the screening and this may be an interesting way of promoting something without actually showing any logos. It will be interesting to see if BMW will integrate this in further screenings.
See bellow the same ad, but bear in mind the fact that it was screened in a cinema so you may not experience the same effect as those who whitnessed it firsthand.

motor sports |motoGP |motorcycle modification news update | 2010 BMW S1000RR First Ride

Know for the high-performance capabilities of its autos, has BMW finally found the ultimate driving machine on two-wheels with its S1000RR literbike?
De Uber Speed King

‘The Ultimate Driving Machine.’ BMW has touted such a statement to describe its four-wheeled vehicles for decades. And for good reason. The German firm’s line of cars, from family sedans to M performance machines, has always been on the cutting edge of performance and drivability. Could the same be said for their motorcycles, though? In a true sporting sense, No. While they have dominated areas like adventure riding with its GS line and long-distance touring with the LT range, a purebred sportbike has always eluded the Bavarian brand, something that has perplexed us for years. Until now. Enter the 2010 BMW S1000RR.

And as such, no amount of terrible airline food or long layovers could stop us from riding the highly touted new machine, which is why this story is coming to you straight from a hotel room in Portugal, mere hours after riding the new propeller-branded bombshell.

So, without further ado…

Engine

Let’s start at the heart of the beast, the essence of what BMW has always been known for. And while it may not be a strange Boxer motor, the somewhat traditional Inline-Four was designed and built 100% in-house in BMW’s Berlin facility. In fact, the entire motorcycle is built in its German super facility.



BMW took the Inline-Four approach for its Superbike project, but features more oversquare configuration at 80 x 49.7mm.

The 33.5mm intake and 27.3mm exhaust valves are made from lightweight titanium and feature a narrow valve angle. The valve springs are supplemented by a hydraulic tightening mechanism to eliminate valve flotation.
Though don’t fret all you BMW lovers, as well as connoisseurs of speed in general. It may be similar in basic design to the Japanese competition, but it takes things to a whole new level. Instantly noticeable from the first lap exiting the pits, seat-of-the-pants says this bad boy has the Japanese covered by a healthy margin.

These prancing ponies come via 999cc lump. Sporting a an extremely oversquare 80 x 49.7mm bore and stroke, this equates to a very short stoke ratio of 0.621 and the biggest bore of any 1K sportbike on the market. A forged, single-piece and heat-treated steel crankshaft is mated to “anti-friction” bearings and features traditional 180-degree angles for a consistent firing order. Con-rods are also steel, but are said to be an “extra-light” forged makeup, weighting 334 grams each. At the end of each of these sit forged lightweight “box” pistons with a thin-ring design for less dynamic friction. Each piston weights a mere 253 grams as well, further reducing internal rotational mass.

This is all housed in a horizontally split aluminum crankcase, the upper section die-cast to form a stiff overall unit. This upper half also holds a very small 6-speed stacked gearbox which mates to a wet slipper clutch. Above sits a cylinder block featuring nikasil coating for reduced friction and wear, while a compact cylinder head features a narrow valve angle (11.2 degree intake and 13.3 degree exhaust), claimed to “provide ideal intake ducts as well as a compact combustion chamber for high compression.”

Both intake and exhaust valves are lightweight titanium and measure a rather large 33.5mm intake and 27.3mm exhaust. These are operated by valve springs as well as a hydraulic tightening mechanism to reduce drag forces and allow power to be produced at high rpms without the chance of valve flotation. Small and light individual cam followers are also utilized to allow BMW the freedom to optimize valve lift and duration. This all equates to an astronomic – in liter-bike street terms – redline of 14,200 rpm, of which BMW says the engine could be run much higher in pure mechanical terms – i.e. if long-term street durability wasn’t a factor.

Cylinders bank forward at a 32-degree angle, which was obtainable due to the extremely small overall size of the engine. Despite the large 80mm bore the powerplant only measures 18.23 inches wide at the crankshaft. Height is also a vertically challenged 22 inches top to bottom, allowing low and “optimum” placement within the chassis. Another byproduct of this size is a featherweight 131.8-lb engine weight, said to be the lightest of the any stock 1000cc sportbike currently produced.



Producing a claimed 193 horsepower at the crank, the S1000RR clocked top speeds during our first ride in excess of 180mph in Portugal.
Spent gases exit through a 4-2-1 stainless exhaust system that features a main section under the engine, in which equal length of piping from each cylinder is routed, then exiting through a small and low, right hand muffler. This centralizes mass beneath the engine to further aid in moving the CG as low as possible.

With a compression ration of 13:1, the final result is a lump that produces a claimed whopping 193 hp at the crank, which BMW say translates to roughly 180 hp at the wheel. While this may be a tad optimistic (we’re guessing in the 170 hp range), compared to the best we’ve seen of low 160s from the Japanese and it’s easy to see the difference.
And while the following may sound like a bit of regurgitated PR, one run down the front straight at Portimao and it all quickly became quite believable. From as low as 3000rpm right up to the 14K redline she pulls like a factory Superbike dressed in drag.

As it happens, I personally just returned from riding all seven factory World Superbikes at the some Portimao circuit less than three weeks ago, making for a perfect comparison. To give to an example of the new BMW’s engine performance, my top speed on Ben Spies’ factory Yamaha R1 was 301 km/h (187 mph) at the end of the massive front straight, and according to the data on the stock S1000RR I clocked high 280s with ease and a peak of 289 km/h (180 mph), a mere 12 Km/h (7 mph) down on the world championship-winning machine. To say this is impressive is an understatement. These speeds on the stock Beemer were also equally as quick as the factory-supported Kawasaki WSBK I rode at the same time. Unreal!

But power without control is nothing. And making the S1000RR even better is the smooth progression in which the heaps of hp are delivered. Fuel delivery is spot-on from as low as 1000 rpm and at no point are there any hiccups or spikes of any kind.



Full-lean provides a good view of the S1000RR exhaust system, which exits out a shorty right-side exhaust canister and keeps the center of gravity as low as possible.
This is the result of BMW’s engine management system, called BMS-KP (BMW Engine Management with Anti-Knock Control), which controls fuel and ignition mapping for each cylinder independently. Variable intake control, which changes the intake length based on rpm and throttle position plays a roll, as does their E-Gas ride-by-wire throttle system that continually adjusts the butterflies of the 48mm throttle bodies.

It is further aided, in part, by the DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) system. Our test units came fully kitted with the DTC and integrated ABS system, a first for a production sportbike. Four modes: Rain, Sport, Race and Slick are available for the rider to choose from, with Slick needing a special plug under the seat to be installed to access. This plug comes with the bike if you buy the optional upgrade.

The Rain setting limits power output to 150 hp at the crank and turns the traction control up to a very high level so as to allow for easier riding on slick surfaces like in the wet or for less experienced riders. We tried this for the first couple laps getting used to the track on new tires and while it was nice on new tires, once the buns were heated I was quickly into Sport and then Race mode, as Rain cuts in quite a lot and prevents any steering of the motorcycle with the rear tire.

Full power is gained in Sport, Race and Slick modes, but the delivery is changed as the modes increase, giving the rider faster throttle response as you progress up the ladder. All of the systems work in conjunction with the integrated electronic ABS as well as a wheelie control function. Though Slick mode does away with the wheelie control, only leaving the DTC and ABS in place. Simply holding down a button on the left switch cluster can also turn off the entire system.



Gripping the Portimao circuit was Metzeler Racetec K3, with the S1000RR's DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) system offering four optional settings.
And while Slick mode may have been designed for slick tires, the Metzeler Racetec K3 rubber on the machines were plenty grippy to allow such setting to be used and also what I found to be optimal. Much of this revolved around the wheelie control function, as on the track it wasn’t quite able to keep up, making for abrupt deceleration and some slightly violent rides cresting Portimao’s hills. At a flatter track or on the street, if one didn’t want to wheelie, I think the system could do fine, but with the drastic elevation changes of the Portuguese track this wasn’t the case. Not to mention, I’m quite the fan of wheelies in general, so to limit them on such a machine is the ultimate tease.

Our machines also came with the option HP Gearshift Assistant, or in non-Germanic terms, a speed-shifter. This allowed for full-throttle up-shifts without the use of the clutch, and the system worked flawlessly in all conditions. The back-torque-limiting clutch worked equally well, though in its case under braking, as long as one was sure to fully engage the clutch lever for each downshift. If not, false neutrals could be found, but only if the rider was ham-fisted with the hand controls.


Mondo power is great, but needs to be teamed with world-class handling. The Beemer delivers both in spades.

Chassis

Harnessing the harrowing horsepower is BMW’s aluminum bridge frame, which uses the engine as a stressed member and weighs in at 26.42 lbs. The frame is comprised of four castings, designed to allow flex to be tuned differently along each axis. It also serves to make the machine as slim as possible between the rider’s legs for optimum ergonomics.

The steering head and the two side sections with their integrated engine mounts are made from ‘tip casting’ aluminum. The rear section, swingarm supports as well as the mounting points for the footrests are produced from a low-pressure die-casting process. A “high-precision welding robot” then assembles the individual pieces in the “Aluminum Competence Centre” at BMW’s Motorrad Berlin plant. The subframe is a welded structure comprised of square aluminum pieces that are bolted to the frame and as such is removable.

Due to the compactness of the engine BMW was able to utilize a long swingarm, to provide as much mechanical grip as possible. Measuring 23.35 inches from the rotation point to the center of the rear axle, this is one of the longest on the market today. It is made up of deep-drawn and very thin aluminum plates on top welded to a cast-dish base. This makes for a stiff unit that also only weights 13.72 lbs. An eccentric housing at the frame joint allows for swingarm adjustability, something only seen on a few high-end sportbikes.



The S1000RR sports one of the longest swingarms on the market and is also adjustable at the engine pivot, as is the wheelbase.
Suspension is handled via a massive 46mm front fork; featuring very German-like 10 clicks of rebound and compression adjustability, as well as spring preload. The steering head is also adjustable up to 15mm, allowing the front end to be lowered up to 5mm or raised 10mm as compared to stock. Same can be found out back, with a single shock featuring compression, rebound and spring preload tune-ability. Rear ride height can be changed up to 10mm using eccentric inserts in the upper shock support.

Reducing rotational mass are “very light and extra stiff” aluminum wheels. Designed with Supersport racing in mind, the thin 10-spoke wheels are pressure cast aluminum. Furthermore, the front brake rotors bolt directly to floating mounts on the wheel, eliminating carriers and an extra set of bolts found on most common wheel and brake setups. These 17-inch wheels come shod with 120/17 and 190/55 size tires front and back, respectively. Three different brands will be used; we rode on Metzeler K3 rubber in Portugal.

Slowing things down are dual front Brembo four-piston radial calipers that grab 320mm rotors via steel-braided brake lines and a radial master cylinder, while out back a single-piston Brembo caliper grabs a 220mm disc. The model we rode also featured BMW Motorrad Race ABS, which adjusts depending on the aforementioned setting (Rain, Sport, Race, Slick) in which the bike is used. The system only weights 5.51 lbs, making it the lightest on any production sportbike.



Developed by top-shelf riders, like Jurgen Fuchs, the BMW's chassis handles the rigorous requirements of track use with ease.
While the engine is without question the eye-opening and shining point of the new Beemer, the chassis and suspension isn’t far behind. Developed by BMWs fast and well-trained testing staff, which includes former world-class racers like Jurgen Fuchs, the base setup was well balanced and stout, giving great feedback to the rider.

The compactness of the chassis allows for a machine that feels very small between one’s legs and combined with the shape of the tank makes for an ergonomics packages that fits nearly all size riders. My small stature had no problem flicking it from side to side, while none of the taller riders complained of it being cramped.

Although the overall weight is on the high side at a claimed 455 lbs full of fuel, due to the low CG and centralized mass one barely feels it, allowing for quick and easy transitions in both the slow and fast sections of the track. Equally capable was the feel and feedback once leaned on its side. Each and every bump was translated directly to the rider, as if one was strapped straight to the pavement.

Initially the shock was a bit soft and would transfer weight to the rear somewhat excessively under hard acceleration, but a few clicks of compression to keep it up in the stroke and she was good to go. Otherwise I left it exactly as setup by BMW and it worked as well as anyone could ever hope from a production machine on stock tires.

And speaking of the stock tires, Metzler’s K3 impressed greatly. Similar to the Pirelli Diablo SP3, these have to be one of the best OE tires on the track I personally have even ridden. Only complaint, if you want to call it that, is they get greasy after about 20-25 minutes of straight hard riding. But for a street-based tire that’s hardly a complaint and more like a compliment.



The new S1000RR makes power and handles like a proper Superbike. No more scratching Boxer engine heads in the corners! Bring on the big shootout...
The only other minor complaint was the ABS system under hard braking. In the lower settings it would initiate quite early in a predictive manner, and while it doesn’t pulse or do anything funny, it does give back a mushy feeling through the front fork and lacks some feedback at the brake lever. This was slightly better in the higher settings, but even in Slick mode one could feel it under extreme conditions. However, with the system totally off full brake feel and feedback comes back.

Design

It’s impossible not to have an opinion about the styling of the new BMW. Everyone does. Why is this? Because for the first time on a sportbike the faring design and lighting is quite asymmetrical, with two completely different side panels as well as totally different headlights.

The different fairings are almost easy to miss, as they are never viewed together at any one time, so this rarely a point of contention. The headlights, on the other hand, are. Sitting right next to each other and very different in shape, I must say at first I wasn’t a fan. And while I’m still not totally sold, they are growing on me.

Why did they do this, you might ask? First off, performance. The high-beam projector didn’t need to be as big as the low beam, thus by making it smaller they saved weight. But the big thing was to be different. With an engine configuration the same as the Japanese, BMW needed something to call their own, something to separate them from the pack. And no doubt the angular lines, crazy shaped taillight and asymmetric bodywork have accomplished exactly that. Equally different is the green color they chose for us to ride, which they say is very “urban” focused.

The bodywork is also very much wind tunnel influenced to provide optimum aerodynamics while still giving the machine a small “600cc Supersport feel,” according to the Germans.



The asymmetrical headlight configuration of the S1000RR is bound to rile some, but where will the Beemer fall when the 2010 Superbike Smackdown finishes?
Sitting behind the controversial shrouding is a very techno gauge cluster that features an analog tach and digital speedo, as well a host of racetrack-focused digital readouts. A built-in lap timer can be accessed via the high beam switch on the left bar, as well though a censor that works with any 2D transponder. Also available to the rider is his max speed as well as percentage of overall brake pressure and throttle opening for each recorded lap.

Final Verdict

Without shooting myself in the foot before we get the BMW back to the U.S. for a proper shootout, I can tell you this bike impressed more than any production motorcycle in recent memory. Utterly amazing power harnessed by a communicative chassis and very adjustable suspension, plus high-tech electronics, make for a bike that should no doubt push the envelope of liter-class machines worldwide. And all this for a base price of $13,800.

All hail the 2010 Superbike Smackdown. It gets better by the minute…Source URL: https://theconstantarchitect.blogspot.com/search/label/BMW

Scooter-BMW Motorrad division, the Concept C scooter

After the MINI E Scooter Concept, BMW returns today with their own-branded scooter: BMW Concept C. Built by the BMW Motorrad division, the Concept C scooter extends BMW’s reach into future mobility.

BMW Motorrad brings a solution to the table in a concept form at this stage.

At a recent trade show in Italy, BMW’s motorcycle division showcased a new scooter concept, dubbed the Concept C.
It appears that BMW is refocusing its energies on selling scooters. BMW had displayed a Mini-branded electric scooter at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.

The “C” nomenclature isn’t just a reference to the C1, BMW's previous scooter venture. BMW considers these small, efficient two-wheelers as a terrific means for personal transportation in congested urban areas

BMW's concept brings sexy to the scooter.
Leave it to BMW's Motorrad division to make a scooter that's absolutely stunning.

The Concept C does away with your typical scooter stylings.
At 2010 EICMA show in Milan, BMW unveiled their first Concept C scooter. “C” letter stands for commuter and the new Concept is a study of a sporty premium scooter that previews the brand’s enter in the big scooter segment.

In the near future, BMW Motorrad division plans to launch two premium models of the the Concept C both with internal combustion engines.

BMW Concept C incorporated many design elements from Motorrad models, including the “split face” with integrated LED headlamp. Unlike the L-shaped profile of most big scooters with their predominantly vertical body lines and colour scheme, the Concept’s body lines sweep up to the rear, forming a “high-tail” rear section that emphasises lightness and agility.

Braking is taken care of by dual front discs with GP-style, radial-mount callipers and a single rear disc with BMW’s proven antilock braking system.Source URL: https://theconstantarchitect.blogspot.com/search/label/BMW

BMW S1000RR in Playboy

Since 1964 Playboy gives every girl a car, awarded the annual title “Playmate of the Year”. This year, the most beautiful girl in the opinion of Playboy has been a Hope Dworaczyk, but the gift she chose not to auto and motorcycle. The BMW timely warning in advance, and 25-year-old beauty has been blessed with a new sportbike S1000RR, with whom she was caught in the glossy pages of the magazine.
Incidentally, the first time in 45 years instead of the car the girl was given to a motorcycle. BMW rejoice the advent of photography in the revered men’s magazines, and the model went on to study law and to spend $ 100 000, which got on top of a motorcycle.

Introducing the new BMW R 1200 GS and the new R 1200 GS Adventure,
BMW Motorrad is opening up yet another chapter in the story of highly
successful GS models which, for almost three decades, have been the epitome
of the large-capacity grand touring enduro.

Moving on from the former generation of the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure,
which already offered supreme power and performance as well as a very
broad range of practical riding qualities for long tours combined with supreme
pleasure on winding country and mountain roads, BMW Motorrad is now
enhancing this standard, as impressive as it already is, to an even higher level.

In its construction principle and fundamental layout, the new fl at-twin power
unit is the same as the DOHC engine on the BMW HP2 Sport. But marking the
new generation, the engine has been carefully updated and optimised for the
R 1200 GS and the R 1200 GS Adventure, tailored to the specifi c requirements
of a grand touring enduro.

With the 1,170-cc Boxer engine on the former models already ensuring
supreme power under all conditions and in all situations, the new R 1200 GS
and R 1200 GS Adventure have even more to offer in virtually every respect:
Delivering maximum output of 110 hp, reaching top engine speed up by 500 to
8,500 rpm, and with an even broader range of engine speed, the new GS
models are even more dynamic, powerful and muscular in terms of both torque
and acceleration throughout the entire speed range, thus setting the standard
once again for the grand touring enduro also in terms of riding dynamics.
New DOHC cylinder heads for even more effi cient cylinder charge.
Designed and built from the start for higher engine speed, the new fl at-twin
power unit in the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure, like the power unit
featured in the BMW HP2 Sport, comes with two overhead, chain-driven
camshafts (DOHC) per cylinder. The valves are operated by very light rocker
arms able to cope with even very high engine speeds through their low weight
alone. Radial arrangement of the four valves is ensured by the very compact
combustion chambers. Like on the former models, the fuel/air mixture is ignited
by two spark plugs (HP2 Sport: one spark plug), and the compression ratio of
12.0:1 is also the same as before.

Thanks to effi cient knock control, both models are able to run on premium
(plus) fuel with an octane rating of 95-98 RON (maximum output is measured
at 98 RON). Under certain conditions there may be a very small loss of torque
and a slight increase in fuel consumption as soon as knock control cuts in. On
long tours where the rider might be required to use inferior fuel, the engine may
also run on 91 RON regular fuel, using specifi c running data available as special
equipment free of charge straight from the factory.

Horizontal arrangement of the camshafts in the direction of travel gives the
new fl at-twin power unit two particular technical features: Each camshaft
controls one intake and exhaust valve and, due to the radial arrangement of
the valves, the cams come with a conical profi le. To increase both output and
torque, gas throughput has been increased throughout the entire speed range
by increasing valve plate diameter over the former models from 36 to 39 millimetres
(1.42–1.54") on the intake side and 31 to 33 millimetres (1.22–1.30") on
the exhaust side.

Intake and exhaust timing on the two camshafts has been optimised in particular
for supreme power at low and medium engine speeds and for even faster,
free-revving engine performance throughout the entire range. To increase the
free valve cross-section, valve lift is up by 10.54 mm (0.415") on the intake and
9.26 mm (0.365") on the exhaust side to 10.8 mm (0.425") on both sides. Valve
clearance is compensated by light semi-hemispherical shims.


More power and extra torque throughout the entire speed range.

The existing ratio of bore and stroke of 101:73 millimetres (3.98 : 2.87") remains
the same as before, as does the engine’s cubic capacity of 1,170 cc. Other
features likewise carried over from the former power unit are the crankshafts
and connecting rods as well as their mounts and bearings, while the two new
cast-aluminium pistons have been re-designed to match the change in combustion
chamber geometry.

Interacting with the upgraded intake system now featuring black instead of silver
throttle butterfl y manifolds as on the former models measuring 50 mm (1.97")
instead of formerly 47 mm (1.85") (HP2 Sport: 52 mm/2.05") opening clearance
and with newly designed intake air funnels and an air fi lter element with higher
throughput, the engine now develops maximum output of 81 kW/110 PS
at 7,750 rpm and peak torque of 120 Nm/88 lb-ft at 6,000 rpm. An oil cooler
ensures stable thermal conditions even when riding to the extreme.

In all, the modifi cations to the drivetrain provide a signifi cantly more homogeneous
fl ow of power and torque throughout the entire speed range. In this process
of technical development, the engines now feature magnesium-coloured
cylinder head covers with two instead of formerly four fastening bolts and come
in new, even more dynamic design. A valve cover guard made of aluminium
or plastic as well as a chrome-plated aluminium cylinder head cover may be
retrofitted as special equipment.

Electronically controlled exhaust fl ap for even more muscular sound.
Moving on to the exhaust system, the two manifolds are the same as before in
their design, length and diameter, while a modifi ed interference pipe caters for
the change in vibration conditions in the exhaust system.

Featuring an exhaust fl ap controlled by an electric motor as well as opening
and closing cables, both the new BMW R 1200 GS and the new R 1200 GS
Adventure provide a particularly throaty boxer sound naturally in full compliance
with legal standards. And to reduce ram pressure and improve the sound of the
engine even further, the rear silencer remaining the same in design as on the
former models comes with a completely new interior structure.

Ideal transmission of power through six-speed gearbox and drive shaft.
Power is transmitted as before by the proven six-speed gearbox with larger
bearing diameters and a modifi ed distance between the individual shafts already
upgraded technically for the 2008 model year. In the process the gear ratios
were once again adjusted and the secondary transmission has been modifi ed
from i = 2.82 to i = 2.91.

In conjunction with the new, even more powerful engine, this once again
means signifi cantly more torque and pulling force throughout the entire range
of engine speed.

The new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure also benefi t from optimised
shift kinematics with an optimised power/travel curve for precise gearshift and
clear feedback at all times.

The maintenance-free drive shaft to the rear wheel also remains unchanged,
relieving the rider of annoying and time-consuming maintenance requirements
particularly on long tours.

Proven running gear and high-performance brakes with Integral ABS.
Like their predecessors, the new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure offer an
almost perfect synthesis of offroad and onroad riding qualities. As in the past,
the stiff and torsionally-resistant suspension, front wheel guidance with the
unique BMW Telelever, and the rear wheel incorporating the BMW Paralever
guarantee fi rst-class and absolutely safe riding qualities also with the new
engine offering even more power and torque.

In conjunction with optional BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, extremely powerful
brakes serve additionally to provide maximum safety even in critical situations.
Optimum environmental compatibility, fi nally, is ensured also on the new boxer
engine through the most advanced exhaust gas management with a fullycontrolled
three-way catalytic converter.

Enduro ESA as special equipment for optimum electronic adjustment
of the running gear for every purpose.

Designed and built for the specifi c requirements of a grand touring enduro, Enduro
ESA Electronic Suspension Adjustment available also on the latest version of
the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure as an optional extra straight from the
factory allows adjustment of the running gear under all kinds of running conditions
and with virtually any load level, simply by pressing a button. An important feature
is that Enduro ESA offers both an onroad and offroad mode within which the
rider, choosing specifi c settings for the spring base and damping, is able to adjust
the suspension even more precisely to specifi c needs and requirements.

As usual, Enduro ESA meets the particular requirements made of a grand touring
enduro by additional electrohydraulic adjustment of the spring base on the front
spring strut. When riding offroad, this ensures a far smoother ride without the
wheel breaking through, and without the disadvantages otherwise experienced
onroad such as shorter negative spring travel or greater seat height.
Optimum ergonomics and even more practical features.

Made of a heat-treated aluminium tube, the high-quality and sophisticated
handlebar, interacting with two asymmetrically mounted clamps turning by
up to 180o, as on the HP2 Enduro Sports, may be fitted in two ergonomically
different positions. While the rear handlebar position for riding onroad and in
less demanding terrain ensures optimum ergonomics particularly for the shorter
rider, the front handlebar position offers advantages in particular when standing
up on the machine in rough terrain.

The hand protectors available as special equipment for the R 1200 GS are
fitted as standard straight from the factory on the R 1200 GS Adventure. In the
process of technically upgrading the successful R 1200 GS models, the instrument
cluster has received a new dial in new design. And last but not least, the
windshield now comes with larger hand-bolts with even better grip for adjusting
its position with greater ease.


Optional extras and accessories tailored to both the rider and the
machine.

As a genuine, fully-fl edged systems supplier, BMW Motorrad has developed a
wide range of optional extras and special equipment for further customisation of
the new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure. One particularly important new
feature is the additional headlights in LED technology.

Overall Concept and Features.

The new BMW S 1000 RR is a highly innovative straight-four supersports from
BMW Motorrad now making its world debut.
This true milestone in the world of sports machines combines engine output of
142 kW (193 hp) with overall weight of just 204 kg (450 lb) including fuel (183
kg/403.5 lb dry weight, 206.5 kg/455.3 lb overall with Race ABS).
Specifications of this calibre make this supersports machine not only an absolute
highlight in terms of its power-to-weight ratio and performance, but also,
equipped with Race ABS and DTC Dynamic Traction Control, a new benchmark
in terms of riding dynamics, safety and innovation.
Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport has been playing an active role in the World
Superbike Championship since the beginning of the 2009 racing season,
the new S 1000 RR setting the foundation for the production-based racing
machines ridden by BMW Motorrad's two works riders Troy Corser and
Ruben Xaus.
The Challenge for BMW Motorrad.
To successfully enter the World Championship with a Superbike today, a
manufacturer needs a production model with the right kind of overall concept
consistently applied in all areas. The essential factors, therefore, are supreme
power, a wide range of engine speed, fast revving capacity also over a long
period, optimum chassis stiffness, and perfect set-up of the engine.
Other features absolutely essential more than ever particularly in the top league
of supersports motorcycles are simple and straightforward rideability, lightfooted
handling, absolutely outstanding all-round performance as well as safety
features such as rider assistance systems like ABS and traction control giving
the customer precisely what he needs.
Developing the RR, BMW Motorrad has entered completely new, unchartered
terrain. Clearly, this meant a huge range of new challenges and responsibilities
for the entire Development Team, but also gave the Team enormous motivation
in seeking to set new standards.
The specific targets in developing the S 1000 RR were therefore clear:
o To achieve output and performance of the highest standard.
o To make the suspension absolutely stable, with top handling and supreme
traction.
o To give the new machine that unmistakable, dynamic design of
BMW Motorrad.
o To reduce the weight of the motorcycle to an absolute minimum.
o To ensure top quality typical of BMW .
Unique against the competition.
Over the years and decades, the principle of combining a straight-four power
unit with an aluminium bridge frame has been consistently developed and
has become the dominating technical concept particularly in the supersports
segment. The reason, quite simply, is that a motorcycle of this kind offers
signifi cant benefits in terms of riding dynamics, long-distance endurance, and
straightforward production.
Precisely this is why the new S 1000 RR also applies this concept with its
proven fortes and advantages. But even while the S 1000 RR, in its concept
teaming up a straight-four power unit and an aluminium bridge frame, may
appear at fi rst sight to have similarities with some competitors, the Development
Team at BMW Motorrad has succeeded in enhancing the existing status of this
concept in virtually every respect.
As a result, the S 1000 RR offers not only a wide range of USPs in terms of
technology, performance, and design, but also, through its particularly compact
overall layout, clearly demonstrates the high school of European engineering in
the supersports four-cylinder segment.Source URL: https://theconstantarchitect.blogspot.com/search/label/BMW

The 2010 BMW HP2 Sport Motorcycle

BMW HP2 Motorcycle
2010 BMW HP2 Sport
The sportiest and most powerful series production flat twin Motorcycle of all time, the HP2 Sport Motorcycle continues into model year 2010 with the addition of a special Motorsport Edition.
The HP2 Sport Motorsport Edition continues to be powered by the familiar flat twin engine equipped with double overhead camshafts delivering 133 hp at 8750 rpm, but emulating the look of the BMW Motorrad Motorsport factory racers, featuring fairing, fuel tank, seat bench, front mudguard and engine spoiler painted in the BMW Motorsport colours Alpine White, Lupine Blue metallic and Magma Red.
Outstanding race results are inexorably linked with BMW Motorrad’s flat twin “Boxer” models. So it is an obvious step to build a high-end version! The result is the BMW HP2 Sport: the uncompromising realisation of the 24-Hour Endurance racer as a road machine. 100 per cent motor racing genes, licensed for the road. An exclusive sports machine by BMW Motorrad for motor racing connoisseurs and 2-cylinder enthusiasts which puts racing expertise into serial production – with power and authenticity.
With an incredible air/oil-cooled 133 bhp and 115 Nm – a unique performance for a serial production “Boxer”!
The BMW HP2 Sport Motorcycle caused quite a stir with its race track appea­rances – rarely has a 2-cylinder flat twin bike caused the competition so much trouble, it even outdistanced many a 4-cylinder bike. In the last 24-hour race at the Oschersleben Speedweek, both machines entered in the race finished in the overall top 10. One reason for this perfor­mance is the DOHC cylinder head*, which is being used for the first time in this fascinatingly engineered enthusiast’s motorcycle.
For all ambitious sports riders and keen flat twin fans a unique limited edition of 400 is now to be produced: derived from the paint finish of the Endurance machine, it is finished in the colours Alpine White /Indigo Blue / HP Red. As in the racing machine, the rims are finished in Indigo Blue at the front and Alpine White at the rear. Otherwise all the familiar specifications apply, including the material – leading to a sensational dry weight of 178 kg – and the impressive performance figures. In short: take the opportunity to put it away right now – or else use it for what it was built for and order a second set of rims for the rain tyres along with it! ­
* DOHC = Double OverHead Camshaft, double overhead camshaft for each cylinder.

With a staggering 130 horsepower, the HP 2 Sport Bike features the most powerful Boxer engine ever designed by BMW Motorrad. For the first time ever, double overhead camshafts are included in our famous opposed twin cylinder motor, kicking out even more revs.
Making the HP2 Sport even more track-ready is new Quickshifter technology, which means faster gear changes without having to chop the throttle or use the clutch.
with Added fully adjustable Ohlins sport front and rear suspension, Radial mounted Brembo Monobloc brakes, a lightweight carbon fiber aerodynamic fairing, not to mention forged racing wheels and tires and a MotoGP-inspired cockpit that computes lap times and other racing data, and the result is one of the most advanced sport bikes to ever scorch the tarmac.
As an option BMW Motorrad offers ABS especially adapted for sports use. An additional pressure sensor in the front brake circuit permits more sensitive brake regulation and prevents the control unit from releasing the front brake too early when weight is taken off the rear wheel suddenly. The ABS can also be deactivated for racetrack use.

2010 BMW S1000RR
When we build a superbike, we have no time for second best. We now present the very latest in racing power. With an aluminium bridge, radial brakes, a super sporty tail-up nose-down design, hot colours and the ultimate combination of electronic rider assistance systems: the first genuine racing ABS, whose features include a front-wheel-only mode, dynamic traction control (DTC) which permits varying degrees of slip, depending on the lean angle. The more the rider hangs off, the more upright the bike and the longer the lines on leaving the curve. Never before was it so easy to keep so much power under control. This is just as true on public roads as it is down on the racetrack. The RR label shows that it is a full-blooded racing bike, even though it can also be ridden with a number plate attached. To top it all off is an engine which is our absolute pride and joy. And our motorsports team agree wholeheartedly.
A motorcycle designed for the race track, built to deliver acceleration that takes your breath away.
The DoubleR is a genuine race bike, even though it can also be ridden with a number plate attached. To top it all off is an engine which is our absolute pride and joy. And our Motorsport team agree wholeheartedly.


The new BMW S 1000 RR is a highly innovative straight-four supersports from BMW Motorrad now making its world debut.

This true milestone in the world of sports machines combines engine output of 142 kW (193 hp) with overall weight of just 204 kg (450 lb) including fuel (183 kg/403.5 lb dry weight, 206.5 kg/455.3 lb overall with Race ABS).
Specifications of this calibre make this supersports machine not only an absolute highlight in terms of its power-to-weight ratio and performance, but also, equipped with Race ABS and DTC Dynamic Traction Control, a new benchmark in terms of riding dynamics, safety and innovation.

Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport has been playing an active role in the World Superbike Championship since the beginning of the 2009 racing season, the new S 1000 RR setting the foundation for the production-based racing machines ridden by BMW Motorrad’s two works riders Troy Corser and Ruben Xaus.


After spending its inaugural development season challenging the 2009 World Superbike Championship with factory riders Ruben Xaus and two-times world champion Australian Troy Corser, the new S1000RR exceeded expectations, finishing the series with a gratifying seventeen top-ten finishes. The S1000RR is now poised to arrive in BMW Motorrad showrooms in January of 2010.
The S1000RR will debut with an MSRP of $17,300, a price that includes Race ABS, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and Gear Shift Assist as standard equipment. The only option available on the S1000RR will be the Alarm System, priced at $265.
Combining an all-new high-performance engine with lightweight construction, sophisticated chassis dynamics and race-engineered brake and suspension components, the BMW S1000RR will set a new benchmark for ultra-high performance motorcycles - on both the racetrack and the road.
The 999cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, sixteen valve, inline four-cylinder power unit is brand-new from the ground up, bred for racing, developing a maximum output of 193 hp at 13,000 rpm (rev-limited to14,200 rpm) and maximum torque of 82.5 lb-ft at 9,750 rpm.
With overall weight of just 206.5 kg including fuel and Race ABS the S1000RR will also take its place as the lightest motorcycle equipped with ABS in the supersports category.
The combination sets a new standard in its class with a power-to-weight ratio of just 1.06 kg (2.34 lb) per horsepower with Race ABS.
The new BMW S1000RR has been designed not only to compete in the World Superbike Championship, but to take its place among the élite of supersports motorcycles.



 


Features and Specifications
You’ve gotta have it!
Speed has to be kept under control. And motorcycle control is exactly what we have been constantly reinventing over the last 20 years. The S 1000 RR represents a milestone in electronic rider safety: ultra-lightweight ABS (2.5kg), which can be used in conjunction with the extremely efficient DTC dynamic traction control (available as an optional extra) – quite unique for 2009.
Racing ABS for all conditions
You couldn’t wish for a more discreet ABS; it has fine control intervals, is virtually imperceptible in its operation, and is light enough to satisfy fans of low-weight bikes.

DTC – transparent traction control you can rely on.
This dynamic feature reacts reliably and efficiently to speed, lean angle, and operating mode (rain, sport, race, or slick). It was specifically designed to be as effective on the road as it is on the racetrack.

Radially mounted Brembo brake callipers
This is how today’s superbikes decelerate. Not only do brake disks mounted directly on the wheel rims look good, they also reduce unsprung mass.

A superlative engine.
An extreme bore/stroke ratio (80x49.7mm) and rocker arm-actuated valves for great stability at high engine speeds, compact construction and lightweight design – a genuine powerhouse which demonstrates its considerably ability at all output levels.

A design that doesn't just look good
Intelligently positioned slits behind the fairing minimise turbulence to allow the rider to maintain a relaxed head position, optimum air-flow around rider and bike ensures stability at top speed, while efficient flow-through makes for maximum cooling. Combined with plenty of eye-catching design features – that’s the way to do it.

Sporty seat positioning.
If you want to be fast, you have to adopt a relaxed racing posture. The way you sit must allow you to concentrate on the essential aspects of motorcycling – maximum enjoyment and perfect control. The looser you are on the bike, the easier everything else will be. Gone are the days when you had to bend yourself flat. Today's modern posture means you are actually sitting more in the bike than on it.

The Challenge for BMW Motorrad.
To successfully enter the World Championship with a Superbike today, a manufacturer needs a production model with the right kind of overall concept consistently applied in all areas. The essential factors, therefore, are supreme power, a wide range of engine speed, fast revving capacity also over a long period, optimum chassis stiffness, and perfect set-up of the engine.
Other features absolutely essential more than ever particularly in the top league of supersports motorcycles are simple and straightforward rideability, light-footed handling, absolutely outstanding all-round performance as well as safety features such as rider assistance systems like ABS and traction control giving the customer precisely what he needs.
Developing the RR, BMW Motorrad has entered completely new, unchartered terrain. Clearly, this meant a huge range of new challenges and responsibilities for the entire Development Team, but also gave the Team enormous motivation in seeking to set new standards.


The specific targets in developing the S 1000 RR were therefore clear:
•To achieve output and performance of the highest standard.
•To make the suspension absolutely stable, with top handling and supreme traction.
•To give the new machine that unmistakable, dynamic design of BMW Motorrad.
•To reduce the weight of the motorcycle to an absolute minimum.
•To ensure top quality typical of BMW .


Unique against the competition.
Over the years and decades, the principle of combining a straight-four power unit with an aluminium bridge frame has been consistently developed and has become the dominating technical concept particularly in the supersports segment. The reason, quite simply, is that a motorcycle of this kind offers significant benefits in terms of riding dynamics, long-distance endurance, and straightforward production.
Precisely this is why the new S 1000 RR also applies this concept with its proven fortes and advantages. But even while the S 1000 RR, in its concept teaming up a straight-four power unit and an aluminium bridge frame, may appear at first sight to have similarities with some competitors, the Development Team at BMW Motorrad has succeeded in enhancing the existing status of this concept in virtually every respect.
As a result, the S 1000 RR offers not only a wide range of USPs in terms of technology, performance, and design, but also, through its particularly compact overall layout, clearly demonstrates the high school of European engineering in the supersports four-cylinder segment.


Maximum performance and riding dynamics.
The consistent concept of the RR supersports is borne out in particular by the truly fascinating, innovative high-performance technology and incomparable riding dynamics of this new machine. The result is an exceptional combination of supreme riding precision and agility, on the one hand, with unparalleled engine power and performance, on the other, providing an overall package truly unique in the market.
Never before has a BMW motorcycle been conceived and built more consistently for supersports riding in terms of its concept and overall construction. But at the same time the new S 1000 RR retains many of the virtues so typical of every BMW to this day: Extreme sportiness and riding dynamics combined with supreme everyday riding qualities, playful handling together with supreme riding stability, outstanding performance combined with unparalleled active safety, as well as dynamic, unmistakable design in conjunction with optimum ergonomics and aerodynamics.


Free choice of engine characteristics as well as Race ABS and DTC Dynamic Traction Control
The new S 1000 RR also excels through features and qualities typical of BMW such as a long running life, superior quality of production and optimum environmental compatibility thanks to the use of the most advanced exhaust management with two fully controlled three-way catalytic converters also able to fulfil future standards and requirements.
Active safety when braking is significantly enhanced by Race ABS developed especially for the S 1000 RR as a genuine supersports and available as an option straight from the factory. A further most significant feature likewise contributing to active safety of the highest standard is DTC Dynamic Traction Control also available as an option and masterminded electronically for supreme precision and practical value.
Facing various riding conditions such as wet roads (“Rain”), regular road conditions (“Sport”), a race track with supersport tyres (“Race”), or a race track with slicks (“Slick”), the rider also has the choice of various engine characteristics and set-ups available at the touch of a button. And last but not least, Race ABS and Dynamic Traction Control are combined with the respective riding modes and coordinated with one another to ensure a supreme standard of performance and safety all in one.


Valve drive for maximum engine speeds, with single cam followers and titanium valves.
The primary objective in developing the new S 1000 RR was to create a supersports with supreme engine power combined with optimum rideability for the highest conceivable standard of all-round performance.
The water-cooled four-cylinder inline power unit chosen to provide these qualities is brand-new from the ground up, developing maximum output of 142 kW (193 hp) at 13,000 rpm and revving up to a maximum speed of 14,200 rpm. Maximum torque of 112 Nm (82.5 lb-ft), in turn, comes at 9,750 rpm.
The two intake and exhaust valves per cylinder made of extra-light titanium are operated by very small and equally light single cam followers. In conjunction with the short sprocket driving the camshaft via an intermediate gear, this ensures supreme revving qualities at the highest speeds as well as exact maintenance of valve timing combined with very compact dimensions.
The use of extremely small and light cam followers furthermore gives the engineer greater freedom in choosing the ideal valve lift curves and, accordingly, in selecting optimum performance characteristics on both road and track.
All engine components are particularly compact and light, limiting weight of the overall engine without ancillaries to 59.8 kg (131.8 lb) and keeping the entire power unit very slim and slender.


Innovative exhaust system with interference pipe butterflies for optimum power and performance.
Made completely of stainless steel, the exhaust system featured by the S 1000 RR is designed consistently for optimum power and performance. It works according to the 4-in-2-in-1 principle with four individual manifolds of equal length first merging into two pipes beneath the engine block and then extending into a large-volume pre-silencer. From there the exhaust emissions flow through a very short and dynamically designed rear-end silencer to the outside.
A homogeneous power and torque curve ensuring optimum rideability is acknowledged as the requirement for sporting performance on the road and fast lap times on the track. Precisely this is why the exhaust system featured on the S 1000 RR comes with two fully controlled interference pipe butterflies housed in two connection pipes for the two outer and two inner manifolds, in the immediate vicinity of the exhaust ducts. As a function of various parameters such as engine speed and the position of the throttle butterfly, an adjuster opens or closes these flaps, allowing exhaust gas to flow freely between the two manifolds or, respectively, interrupting the flow of gas. This coordinates the sequence of oscillations in the exhaust gas mass flow, reducing exhaust gas counter-pressure at the decisive point (like on a racing muffler) and increasing the cylinder charge accordingly.
This factor alone makes a significant contribution to the very high standard of homogenous overall performance offered by the S 1000 RR.


Lightest supersports with Race ABS.
The new RR offers the highest standard of technology also on its suspension and running gear. Weighing just 206.5 kg or 455.3 lb in road trim and with a full tank, BMW ’s new supersports is by far the lightest machine of its calibre displacing 999 cc and featuring Race ABS brakes.
One of the features that ensures this light weight is the aluminium bridge frame integrating the engine tilted to the front at an angle of 32° as a load-bearing element for optimum torsional stiffness on minimum weight. The front wheel runs on an upside-down fork with a fixed tube measuring an ample 46 milli­metres or 1.81" in diameter, while a torsionally stiff swing arm made of aluminium holds the rear wheel in position.
The spring and damping action required is provided by a central spring strut pivoting on a guide lever.
The rear frame section of the S 1000 RR is a welded light-alloy structure belted to the mainframe, combining low weight with superior stability and a high standard of robust strength particularly important to riders and teams on the race track.


Putting the rider right in the centre.
The rider’s seating position leaning forward towards the front wheel for an active style of riding is simply ideal for the sporting rider with his particularly dynamic style.
Developing the S 1000 RR, BMW Motorrad has given particular attention to the superior ergonomics of the machine, providing ideal qualities for both small and tall riders and therefore focusing consistently on the rider’s individual requirements. The tank section is as slender as on a 600-cc machine, giving the rider the assurance of excellent control and handling at all times.
In the process of developing the S 1000 RR, BMW Motorrad focused not only on a lightweight structure, but also on minimum, highly compact dimensions as an absolutely essential requirement.
To give the S 1000 RR an extremely slender front silhouette but at the same time to ensure a highly efficient flow of cooling air, the engineers at BMW Motorrad had to show all their skill, since, with cylinder bore measuring 80 millimetres or 3.15”, the power unit of the RR has the largest cylinder bore in this segment with a correspondingly wide cylinder head.
Technical challenges of this kind as well as a development period of just four years made the S 1000 RR the ideal project for consistent, all-out use of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) technology as well as the most advanced calculation methods, for example for the machine’s aerodynamics.
As the bottom line, the S 1000 RR is the absolutely ideal motorcycle for the customers of BMW Motorrad looking for new, unprecedented standards and qualities in the supersports segment.
