"Dollar for dollar, there’s no cheaper way to go insanely fast than on a motorcycle, and we’re ready to cash out what’s left of our 401(k) for the new BMW S 1000 RR. With 193 horsepower in a package that weighs 455 pounds ready to ride, this sexy beast is quick enough to compress your eyeballs.
BMW unveiled the bike at the famed Autodramo Nationale Monza – and oh, how we’d love to take it through the Variante della Roggia – in Italy, which we can’t help but suspect was a shot across the bow of Ducati. The boys in Bologna (and Japan, for that matter) should be worried, because BMW is promising best-in-class performance."
