2015 BMW S1000RR price announced

BMW Motorrad announced that the 2015 S1000RR would retail for Rs 13.6 lakh in the UK market. The 2015 BMW S1000RR with cosmetic and mechanical changes had made its world debut at the 2014 INTERMOT motorcycle show in Cologne, Germany. The 2015 BMW S1000RR is expected to head our shores in early 2015 with prices starting north of Rs 25 lakh owing to custom duties and other taxes. 

The styling of the new BMW S1000RR has been tweaked with respect to the older bike. The design highlights include the repositioned and restyled asymmetric headlight while the vents and the fairing have been reworked. The tail section also has been reworked and it sports a larger exhaust muffler than its predecessor. 

Powering the 2015 BMW S1000RR is the same in-line-four cylinder, 998cc powerplant as seen on its predecessor. But BMW claims that it has re-engineered cylinder head with new duct geometry, new intake camshaft and even lighter intake valves to increase the power output to 200PS which is a hike of 6PS over the older bike and peak torque stands at 113Nm. BMW engineers have also tweaked the chassis of the 2015 S1000RR as the bike has been equipped with a lighter frame structure offering an optimised blend of rigidity and flexibility. The new bike is also lighter by 4kg in comparison to its predecessor.

The 2015 BMW S1000RR can also be fitted with an improved version of the electronically controlled Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) suspension system as seen on the now discontinued HP4. The 2015 BMW S1000RR also sports a DTC traction control with seven different settings. The optional extra electronics package also includes 'launch control' for 'flawless racing starts', plus a pit-lane speed limiter. The 2015 BMW S1000RR will compete against the likes of the Ducati 1199 Panigale and the 2015 Yamaha R1 which also scheduled to head to the Indian market in 2015.
