BMW R-Series description
A fine machine. I bought this bike in the spring to use a commuter bike to get to school. That was 500 miles a week for the summer, and average 200 miles a day for practicals in Sept. ran flawlessly. Bike has sat since sept, want a lighter bike for around town.
Has Sargent seat, 3 way adjustable, non electric. Adjustable wind screen. 1 power outlet.
Prevoius owner removed ABS
Things I replaced because checking in the records theses items had not been replaced, Injectors, TPS, Ignition Hall Effect Sensor, alternator belt.
9 of 2012, full service by previous owner by Max BMW, service records indicate also: new clutch 06, new l cylinder 05, and all kinds of stuff. about 9k miles on the clutch, changed at 26k. Again theses are from service records. There is Suzuki exhaust on it, yes I said Suzuki, came to me that way. sounds kind nice. I put on the GIVI monokey top case with brake light. liners come with the side cases. also spare headlight assembly, new.
ask all questions before bidding, no reserve.

Need more from your S1000RR?
Wed, 11 Aug 2010BMW has launched an HP Race Power Kit for the S1000 RR costing £2,850 including VAT.For trackday riders and racers, the kit - a new ECU and an Akrapovic exhaust system - increases peak power and torque, while optimising the bike’s engine, braking and power management systems, claim BMW, for short circuit riding and racing.Ayrton Badovini’s 2010 FIM Superstock 1000 championship-winning bike uses the HP Race Power Kit. It can also be found on the Jentin Racing-BMW Motorrad S 1000 RR being raced by Richard Cooper in the British National Superstock championship.• Maximum engine output increased by 4bhp and 6lb.ft to 197bhp (147kW) and 88.5 lb.ft (120 Nm) with power and torque significantly bolstered throughout the key 5000 to 9000 rpm midrange• Once installed, the power mapping for the four engine management riding modes (‘Rain’, ‘Sport’, ‘Race’ and ‘Slick’) is identical and the S 1000 RR delivers the full 197bhp across all four modes• The different modes instead alter the electronic rider aids with the Race ABS reducing input and the Dynamic Traction Control allowing full power at greater lean angles as the modes move from ‘Rain’ through to ‘Slick’• Engine braking on overrun is reduced giving more balanced corner entry• Pit-lane limiter activated when the start button is held down in first gear (actual speed maintained may vary with the bike’s gearing)• Akrapovic titanium and carbon-fibre full exhaust system saves 6.8kg over stock and includes a baffle which allows the exhaust to meet noise regulations in place at some circuits
The future. But we can't have it
Thu, 10 Nov 2011It's no secret that we motorcyclists are getting older. We're ageing because less people are passing their bike test each year (roughly 30,000 last year compared to 50,000 for the 10 years before the new two-part test) and so not only is the pool not growing it's not even being replenished and so the average age isn't being diluted down by yoof. When the going gets tough in any situation, you really get to see who's got their shit-sorted and who's light enough on their feet to adapt to change.
