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.
IA 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.
From model year 2011 the BMW S 1000 RR is available in the following new paint finishes:
•Shine yellow metallic
•Light grey metallic
The paint finishes Mineral silver metallic and Acid green metallic are no longer available

The history of motocross has been a great revolutionary designs, followed by consolidation and the dramatic progress in improving motorcycle.
Moving from large impactors in the light two-stroke defined the 1960s. In the 70s, it was a long travel suspension. The '80s brought us the coolant and suspension links. The 90s saw the return of the four-time (not coincidentally, the Yamaha YZ400F) and the '00s saw a return to dominance Thumpers.
Yamaha, with the new YZ450F, fired first in the war for dominance '10s. This innovative feature motocross technical innovations that are highly desirable in the dust, and can have an impact on the bikes in the next decade to have.
The most obvious progress, of course, is the new engine with a cylinder, about eight degrees from vertical inclined backwards.
You can with the idea that centralization of the mass was the only reason for this radical transformation will be issued. However, the answer is more complicated than that.
Although the positioning of the weight of the YZ450F cylinder near the center of the wheel has certain advantages in handling, the cylinder is also offside 12-degrees forward of the axis of the centerline of the crankshaft something that has been made possible by leaning back of the cylinder.
In this position, the rod further into the rotation when the fire is a spark, but the stem at an angle where electricity is produced it, vertically, creating friction engine more efficient because of less-restrictive piston.

Without doubt, in 2011 Harley-Davidson Rocker C is a motorcycle, is catchy.
Riding around with the colors scarlet Deluxe, it is impossible to avoid thumb-ie high signal to pedestrians, the guy in a moving truck "nice bike" to a traffic light, so that an old man waiting twinkling of an eye in a rickety pickup truck as we until green - it goes on and on, all day in the neighborhood after neighborhood.
In a metropolis like Los Angeles bumped, where people usually avoid eye contact when driving, which is extraordinary.
There is much to tell Rocker C appearance in 37-degree raked front end for the rear fender near the body tire for Harley-Davidson. There are certainly some sleight of hand with C. What rock as a solo seat almost floating in the air as a passenger seat in which are installed without tools in less than a minute like saved.
The mirage Softail is particularly effective in front with a rear fender that moves with the rear wheel, the way we're used to seeing. Add to that the striking color (I wonder if I had received the same number of unsolicited compliments when I'm not on the Scarlet Red version), and you have a bike that demands and receives attention.

2011 Honda ST1300P Features
" ABS combines with Combined Braking System (CBS) for a wide range of braking and steering control. ABS features an electric-motor-driven modulator that gives quick, precise braking-pressure adjustments and smooth ABS operation. The system incorporates an integrated electronic control unit (ECU) controller, self-diagnostics with an interactive ECU test function and automatic protection against system failure (see Technology Section).
" CBS uses a second master cylinder and a proportional control valve (PCV) to couple the three-piston calipers of the dual-disc front and single-disc rear brakes. Using the front brake lever activates the outer two pistons of the front calipers and the two outer pistons of the rear caliper. Rear pedal engagement activates the center piston of the rear brake caliper and the center pistons of the front calipers, and a delay valve slows initial front brake response to minimize front-end dive.
" A motor-driven adjustable windscreen offers 7.4 inches and 13 degrees of adjustability for greater wind protection and touring comfort. A thumb-operated push-button on the left handlebar operates the windscreen motor. An additional 2.3 inches of manual adjustment is possible by repositioning the windscreen on the mounting brackets.
" New special patrol speedometer is graduated in 2-mph increments above 10 mph.
" Adjustable three-position dual-density solo seat.
" Handlebars raised 25mm and width increased 13.5mm for rider comfort.

Superbike Power.
The new CB1000R is built around a superbike-strong 998cc DOHC inline four engine. Basically, we took a CBR1000RR powerplant and retuned it to deliver a bare-knuckle blast of power that's perfect for street riding, with plenty of torque and power on tap. Since it's a four cylinder, it's plenty smooth for longer rides too.
When You've Got It, Flaunt It.
The new CB1000R has nothing to hide. On the contrary, it'd be a shame to cover up that awesome engine, so we've put it out front and center so you and everyone else can enjoy it. Then our designers gave the CB1000R just enough styling touches (side radiator shrouds, fork-mounted cowl fairing, cast aluminum four-spoke wheels) to really set it apart. Check out the result for yourself. European Model Shown.
Easy to Handle.
The CB1000R offers exceptional handling, thanks to a Gravity Die Cast mono-backbone aluminum chassis that's light and strong, a fully-adjustable inverted fork, and adjustable Pro Link® rear suspension with a single-sided swing arm.

New for 2011
- Repsol Edition returns along with an exciting new Red/Black and all Black color schemes. C-ABS model available in Red/Black only.
- All colors have silver frames and silver swingarm.
The Details make the Difference.
The CBR1000RR is a perfect example of typical Honda industry-leading innovation. Combining tons of power, light weight, and refined, responsive handling with drop-dead good looks, it’s equally at home carving your favorite canyon as it is collecting wins on World Superbike podiums. That's the CBR1000RR—the ultimate liter-class sportbike experience.
Stop That! - The CBR1000RR (along with the CBR600RR) are breaking new ground by offering one of the most innovative braking systems ever: Honda’s revolutionary Combined ABS.
Combined Anti-Lock Braking (C-ABS) - All-new, electronically controlled Combined ABS distributes brake force over both wheels, helping to maintain braking confidence in less than ideal conditions. Electronic measurement of rider input on each brake lever permits application of only the front or rear brake in some cases, while the system combines both brakes in others.
Unit Pro-Link Suspension - By eliminating the frame-mounted top shock mount, Unit Pro-Link isolates the chassis from bumps, resulting in more precise handling and better traction. Developed on Honda's championship-winning MotoGP bikes, it's a perfect example of the CBR's superior engineering.
MotoGP-Style Exhaust - The CBR1000RR's lowboy muffler not only looks cool and sounds great, it also offers a handling advantage by moving the silencer lower and closer to the bike's center of mass. GP bikes do that to make the machines more responsive, and you get the same benefit with the CBR1000RR.
Slipper Clutch - The CBR1000RR uses a patented slipper-clutch design with a special cam-assist mechanism for easier actuation. That means you get a light feel at the lever, the feedback a cable system provides, and all the backtorque-limiting benefits a slipper clutch provides.
Twin-Spar Aluminum Chassis - By varying the wall thickness of the chassis' main elements, our engineers can fine-tune chassis rigidity precisely, and in individual areas. You get a frame that offers the perfect balance of a stable riding platform but with no harshness.
Dual-Stage Fuel Injection - Two injectors per cylinder – one primary and one secondary – controlled by an ECU that senses RPM and throttle opening, ensure both low- and high-rpm performance. You get near instantaneous high-rpm response, along with great low-rpm metering and clean running.
Centrally Located Fuel Tank - Centrally located fuel tank increases mass centralization for a more compact frame design.
Idle Air Control Valve - Idle air control valve minimizes torque reaction and smoothes response to small throttle changes through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake when throttle is opened and closed.
Two-Stage Ram Air - Nose mounted, two-stage ram air system provides a high volume of cool air to the airbox, for linear power delivery and superb engine performance.
Honda Multi-Action System (HMAS) Inverted Fork - The HMAS cartridge fork features an exclusive internal piston construction. This innovative design employs smaller-diameter pistons to keep oil velocity high for improved damping characteristics and an expanded range of adjustability. The result: you get more precise suspension performance, especially over smaller surface irregularities.
Radial Front-Brake Calipers - The CBR1000RR's radial-mounted monoblock front-brake calipers are stiffer, for better brake feel and performance. Each caliper uses four chromium-plated aluminum pistons that squeeze lightweight 320mm floating discs for exceptional stopping power.
Honda Electronic Steering Damper
Power is one thing, but the key to a great sportbike is how it handles, and that’s where the Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) comes in. Compact, unobtrusive and super-smart, it helps maintain smoothly predictable high-speed handling and low-speed maneuverability.
Follow The Leaders
Honda has always used racing to improve our sportbikes, and the CBR1000RR is a great example. A major force in the World Superbike Championship, you can follow Honda’s performance and catch up on Team Honda's highlights on our racing pages.
