Revision as of 01:09, 11 November 2006

Before 2006 BMW was known for its conservative but innovative approach towards motorcycles. This model is the most powerful “naked” production motorcycle in the world producing a 163 hp (122 kW) @ 10,250 rpm from its 1157 cc 4 cylinder motor with a torque of 94 lbf·ft (127 N·m) @ 8,250 rpm, a mind numbing explosive acceleration of 100 km/h from stand-still in 2 seconds and a top speed of over 163 mph (260 km/h). There are many other features in this bike from its styling to layout. The cylinder block is canted toward the front wheel by 55 degrees to reduce the entire motorcycle’s center of gravity, permitting innovating packaging solutions. The optional ESA system allows the rider to adjust for different road conditions and varying loads for a very individualized riding style. At the touch of a button, the rider is able to choose between three settings (Normal, Comfort, and Sport) for front and rear suspension as well as adjusting for suspension preload, a three-way catalytic converter in the exhaust to ensure more environmental friendly low emissions and anti-lock braking system to ensure rider safety in extreme braking. Fully sequential cylinder-specific fuel injection with integrated anti-knock control mean that peak torque is available from 3500 rpm all the way to the 11,000 rpm redline and wheelies are just a touch of a throttle away!

-[[Japan]]ese motorcycle manufacturers such as [[Honda]], [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries|Kawasaki]], [[Suzuki]], and [[Yamaha Motor Company|Yamaha]] have been in a technological war for a while and now, [[Germany|German]] motorcycle and [[car]] manufacturer [[BMW]] has also decided to jump in as this model is the most powerful “[[Types of motorcycle|naked]]” production motorcycle in the world producing a whopping 163 [[horsepower|hp]] (122 [[kilowatt|kW]]) @ 10,250 [[rpm]] from its 1157 [[cubic centimeter|cc]] 4 [[cylinder (engine)|cylinder]] [[engine| motor]] with a huge [[torque]] of 94 lbf·ft (127 N·m) @ 8,250 rpm, a mind numbing explosive acceleration of  100 [[km/h]] from stand-still in 2 seconds and a top speed of over 163 [[mph]] (260 [[km/h]]) (Stats that were previously only associated with Japanese motorcycles).
-There are many other radical features in this bike from its unique styling to a radical layout. The cylinder block is canted toward the front wheel by 55 degrees to reduce the entire motorcycle’s center of gravity, permitting innovating packaging solutions. The optional ESA system allows the rider to adjust for different road conditions and varying loads for a very individualized riding style. At the touch of a button, the rider is able to choose between three settings (Normal, Comfort, and Sport) for front and rear suspension as well as adjusting for suspension preload, a three-way [[catalytic converter]] in the [[exhaust]] to ensure more environmental friendly low emissions and [[anti-lock braking system]] to ensure rider safety in extreme braking.
