2019 bmw s1000rr tft display made in china
Great news for many as it has been recently reported that China’s intellectual property office has published a design registration revealing a speculated new 2019 BMW S1000RR. Filed February 23, 2018 with China’s SIPO with a priority filing with Germany’s patent office dated August 23 2018, the design displays a sport bike that seems identical to the spy photos that were unveiled not long ago.
To keep up with the scathing competition among the litre class superbike category, a major overhaul of the BMW S1000RR has been long due. The new BMW S1000RR was spied testing some time back. It looked like a major update from the current iteration. What makes this believe even more concrete is a design registration from China with a priority filing with Germany’s patent office dated Aug. 23, 2017. This design looks quite similar to the motorcycle which was spied before.
If the designs make it to the production, we can expect the asymmetrical fairing to be retained. While the signature asymmetrical headlamps are replaced by a pair of matching lights on both the ends. The central air intake remains the same. Motorcyclists had a love-hate relationship with the asymmetrical headlamps but it was S1000RR’s signature design cue. It would be interesting to see how people receive this new design.
Other changes might include inclusion of a color TFT screen as the instrument cluster, with a host of new electronics as well. We can expect BMW Motorrad to unveil the new S1000RR at either Intermot in October or EICMA in November.
BMW has been producing epic motorcycles longer than they"ve made cars. Their first 1923 BMW R32 bike featured a twin-boxer engine configuration, something they still employ on their motorcycles. The R32 is arguably the most important vehicle in BMW Motorrad"s history because it helped bring BMW into the new German economy post World War I and kept the brand alive. Although BMW has enjoyed decades of immense success, the release of the BMW S1000RR in 2009 is arguably their most ambitious project. The bike was a direct attack on the Japanese superbikes, a 1000cc transverse four supersport aimed at competing in the World Superbike Championship.
In 2009, BMW made 1000 S1000RR to meet homologation requirements, with the production version going on sale in 2010. When launched, it was the best superbike in the market, and it has gotten better over the years, offering massive power in a lightweight package. A thoroughbred racer, the S100R has turned into an extremely successful consumer superbike. Here are ten reasons why we"d love to throw a leg over the BMW S1000RR.
The BMW S100RR has gotten so much better over time that its popularity reduces the impact of these improvements in the newer models. Power has always been high, peaking at a whopping 204hp at 13500rpm. The engine now has an incredible ShiftCam technology on the intake side, which varies the valve timing and lift.
An ECU-controlled motor controls the low and high-speed cams to produce soft, low-lift, short-duration cams producing low-down and midrange torque, with an aggressive profile inducing peak power delivery. The result is a huge spread of power, which makes the BMW S1000RR one of the most desirable superbikes and the easiest to learn to ride.
The BMW S1000RR"s sweet handling is one factor that makes it a must-ride bike for any motorcycle enthusiast. Even with a top speed close to 190mph and stupendous acceleration, its strong midrange response plays a huge role in making the bike rider-friendly on public roads. It also has one of the best-engineered chassis in class.
The chassis performs exceptionally in blending razor-sharp steering with excellent road going charisma. The aluminum frame dubbed the “BMW Motorrad Flexframe” was introduced in the 2020 model and is lighter than earlier models and with tuned flex characteristics for exceptional handling.
In 2021 the S1000RR came with a new riding position that plays a part in making the bike feel much lighter. The bike has gotten more compact and lighter than the competition, and it almost feels like a 600cc sportbike.
The BMW S1000RR is undoubtedly an uncompromising racing machine, yet it is reasonably roomy and sufficiently comfortable, by sportbike standards, to live with over long distances. This is in part thanks to the plush and comfortable M seat. In 2017 BMW introduced a self-supporting adjustable seat unit using the adjustable geometry of the M Swingarm pivot.
A review on Motorcycle News considers the BMW S1000RR the most comfortable superbike on the market. It is comfortable enough to tour long distances, as long as you take a break to stretch every hundred miles or so. The optional M seat is also optimized for performance, since its firmness and slip-resistance cover saves power when braking or accelerating hard, thus bringing more stability to the motorcycle.
Of all the overpowered Supersports, the BMW S1000RR is comparably easy to ride, and it"s because it comes loaded with the best electronics on offer from the German automaker. The bike arguably prides itself on the best-in-class tech equipment, from chassis to engine components and electronics.
With four riding modes available, you can easily transform the BMW S1000RR from mild to wild with a few button-pushes. The four modes include Rain, Road, Race, and Dynamic. All come perfectly tailored to the respective conditions and make for more performance, stability, and safety.
Suppose racing is the core function of your S1000RR. In that case, BMW provides the optional Ride Modes Pro, which features configurable ride modes with Race Pro 1, Race Pro 3, and Race pro 3, which can be individually adapted to the engine, engine brake, traction control, ABS, and wheelie control for the optimum results on track.
The level of equipment in the S100RR would need full article coverage to give it justice. The new 6.5-inch TFT dash in the current generation has a lot going for it, and although there is a lot of information, set-up menus, and sub-menus, it is still easy enough to navigate. You have up to four displays to choose from, and they are large and clear enough to read on the move. There is so much customization you can do right there. Then there is the free Motorrad Connected App.
The app can be connected with iOS-enabled devices via Bluetooth to the dash and Bluetooth-enabled headsets for an immersive experience. Also, it can help you record trips and integrate turn-by-turn navigation on display.
Most superbikes are borderline rogue machines that require more experience to tame compared to other bikes, even in a controlled track environment. But the BMW S1000RR helps raise the superbike bar a notch higher with an other-worldly blend of powerful 999cc straight-four, a lightweight chassis, and advanced electronics making it quite practical by superbike standards.
In just over a decade in production, the bike has helped push rivals in class to new heights. For instance, the S1000RR was the first series superbike to feature standard traction control and quick-shifter when it came out. Its exotic derivative, the HP4, which enjoyed a short production run, was also among the first motorcycles with semi-active suspension.
In the automotive industry, vehicles increase their street cred by winning races, which helps demonstrate their superiority over the competition. And everyone wants to associate with a winner. You will find that the most-winning riders and their bikes in the WSBK, MotoGP, TT, or any other reputable competition are also the most popular. The champions and their machine of choice easily gain a cult-like following. Since its inception, the BMW S1000RR has bagged plenty of wins.
With the S1000RR, BMW has scooped three Senior TT wins at the Isle of Man since the bike"s debut. Also, since Michael Dunlop took a memorable Superbike, Superstock, and Senior TT hattrick in 2014, the BMW S1000R won 11 of the 15 1000cc races held at the TT Mountain Course until the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to the event.
At an MSRP of $16,999, the BMW S1000RR isn"t cheap, but this pricing is enough to excite superbike riders. The past few years have seen superbike prices shoot to the moon, putting the base model beyond the reach of many. Compared to the competition, the Base, Sport, and M Package are cheaper or in the price range of Italian and Japanese superbikes.
The Ducati Panigale V4S starts at $28,395 before options, while the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade starts at $28,900, and the Yamaha YZF-R1M at $26,099. This poses incredible value for the BMW S1000RR, which is as good if not better than the lot.
BMW Motorrad India is set to launch the all-new 2019 S1000RR in India tomorrow. The flagship motorcycle has undergone a proper overhaul with cosmetic and well as mechanical updates. The motorcycle made its debut during the 2018 EICMA event in Milan.
Starting with the design, the first thing to notice on the 2019 S1000RR is that BMW has done away with the quirky looking asymmetrical headlamp unit and replaced it with sleek LED projector units. The motorcycle gets a new aluminium twin-spar frame accompanied by a trellis subframe. The chassis gets a new fairing that is sleeker and more compact in dimensions. In terms of gadgetry, the upgrades include a full-colour TFT instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity, dynamic traction control, hill start assist, Shift Assist Pro and adjustable engine braking.
Next is the motor which is a newly developed 999cc inline-four engine that features BMW ShiftCam technology. In terms of power output, the new motor is capable of producing 204bhp and 113Nm which comes mated to a six-speed gearbox. Compared to the previous model, the new S1000RR weighs almost 11 kgs lighter now tipping the scale at 196 kg dry.
While the out-going model retails at Rs 18.05 lakhs ex-Delhi, expect the 2019 model to be launched with a considerable hike in its price tag. In terms of competition, the BMW S1000RR will continue its rivalry with other flagship motorcycles like the Yamaha YZF-R1, Ducati Panigale V4, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR, Aprilia RSV4 RR and the Suzuki-GSX-R1000 in India.
The Flagship BMW motorcycle was launched today in an event in Gurugram and the flagship bike comes with an all-new lighter design and a faster performance. It also has a segment first TFT 6.6-inch display for the instrument cluster and will be available as a completely built-up unit (CBU) and can be booked at BMW Motorrad dealerships from today onwards.
Mr. Dimitris Raptis, Head of Asia-Pacific, China, Russia, Africa, BMW Motorrad said, “No other bike can be a more authentic interpretation of the sport world than the BMW S 1000 RR. In 2009, we made a big entry into the market of high-performance sports bikes with the launch of the BMW S 1000 RR. It became the leader in its segment almost overnight and since then has set the benchmark in the field of performance sports bikes. For the all-new 2019 ‘Double R’ our goal was simple - ‘Make it even better’, and we did just that! Moving into its third generation, the BMW S 1000 RR has been enhanced in all disciplines. It is now lighter, faster, more uncompromising and more easily controllable than ever before.”
The BMW S 1000 RR shaped the BMW Motorrad brand with its outstanding dynamics when it was launched 10 years back. The RR is a superbike in the truest sense of the word. The design of the BMW S 1000 RR reflects not only the distinctive style but also clearly represents the BMW Motorrad brand. The all-new ‘Double R’ features lower weight, completely newly developed chassis and suspension, lights, dashboard, design and a new engine with BMW ShiftCam technology. The all-new BMW S 1000 RR is the first motorcycle to feature an M package, a combination of the power of M with Motorrad.
Dr. Hans-Christian Baertels, President (acting), BMW Group India said, “The BMW S 1000 RR led to a revolution in the supersport motorcycle category right from the outset. In the time since the bike continued to be developed, it’s tried and the tested concept was being honed even further and the latest innovative technology was added for greater dynamics. Because of its impressive power and performance, one constant factor remains: it is still a trailblazer today! Whether in everyday use or for high-performance race track riding, the all-new BMW S 1000 RR leaves nothing to be desired and allows you to experience its performance with greater intensity and immediacy than ever.”
Dynamic flow is traced across the body of the motorcycle by the surfaces, with the BMW logo as the start and finish point. Seen from the rear, the RR dominates in terms of design and functionality: ‘All-in-one’ is the motto here. The number plate holder includes plate lighting, LED turn signals, tail lights and brake lights. The slim rear gives absolute freedom of movement. The all-new RR is lean and athletic when viewed from above. A dynamic line flows from the fuel tank to the rear. The striking design of the fuel tank lends particular emphasis to the motorcycle"s length and sporty flair.
The new BMW S 1000 RR is fitted with a completely newly developed 4-cylinder in-line engine with a displacement of 999CC. The engine is now 4 kgs lighter and narrower, which improves both the handling and the ergonomics. It generates 152 kW (207 hp) at 13,500 rpm to deliver a supreme level of engine power.
BMW ShiftCam Technology provides the BMW S 1000 RR a torque curve that is captivating even at low and middle speeds. The variable camshaft control BMW shift cam is a new technology which provides supreme rideability along with an additional increase in power across the entire engine speed range, reduced emission and fuel consumption levels, optimized running smoothness and refinement.
The newly developed suspension has enhanced the riding dynamics as well as achieved significantly reduced weight as compared to the predecessor model as claimed by the manufacturer. The all-new BMW S 1000 RR features a Flex Frame which is the optimum interplay between the frame design and the engine as a load-bearing element. It improves the aerodynamics of the motorcycle and helps keep the weight low. The new layout of the mainframe has a leaner fuel tank and seating area trim sections for further improved support and knee grip.
The in the superbike segment is the Multifunctional instrument panel – the TFT display of the all-new RR. With 6.5", riders can have an overview. The Pure Ride screen displays the essentials or one of three Core Ride screens that display other important information. BMW Motorrad multi-controller gives the rider quick access to vehicle and connectivity functions. Phone and media functions can be used without having to install an app.
There"s big drive from the new Shift Cam system and that much is evident even on a wet track. Drive out of slow corners at low to medium revs is far stronger and as the system switches over to the full-load cam on the straighter bits of track you simply can"t feel the transition – but you can feel the surge in top-end power. It isn"t violent though, it"s refined – it"s not the sledgehammer delivery you"ll find from something like Ducati"s 1100cc V4, but we"d hazard a guess that the new S1000RR is still every bit as fast.BMW
Despite the inclement weather"s best attempts to dull the fun, there"s still other tidbits to be gleaned. The new bike"s narrower than the old one thanks to a revised frame, and comfier as a result. Just like the old bike, you can get on and go without any real need for adjustment, but it feels different. It feels smaller, lighter and quicker to steer than the old bike. The clip-on "bars are slightly wider set and a tad easier on your wrists than before. The heated grips now have three levels of heat, rather than two and the M sport seat fitted to the bikes we rode is properly grippy. The tank is still wide (but not too wide), meaning you can move around and grip with your knees without any issue. There"s a baffling array of buttons on the handlebars and even more options in the menu system, but you"ll get used to that with time and practise. It"s a very nice bike to be in the presence of – build quality"s right up there, as you"d expect, all the way from switches to the paint to the machined footpegs.Rich wears Dainese CustomWorks racing suit, £2,500, and Axial D1 boots, £399.

Yes, the KTM 390 Adventure has been a long time coming. Based on the KTM Duke 390, it is expected to be unveiled at EICMA 2019. The bike will be launched in India first.
The KTM 390 Adventure will be suspended over upside-down fork up front sourced from WP and a monoshock in the rear. The former will be spruced up with extra travel. The KTM 390 Adventure will have a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel. Tyres will be on and off-road biased. Besides that, expect top-level spec features in the KTM 390 Adventure. This will include LED headlamp, coloured TFT display and optional Bluetooth connectivity as seen in the Duke 390. Other features like ride-by-wire and slipper clutch may also be carried on.
With both the naked and adventure version out and about, a fully-faired BMW G310RR is the next logical step for BMW Motorrad. The bike will carry the mechanicals from the G310R along with a few add-ons. A concept version was showcased in Japan in September 2018. The flagship 2019 BMW S1000RR unveiled in November 2018 too could have some influence in the final design.
A fully-faired BMW G310RR hasn"t been spotted on test yet, and its launch could take place in 2020. Expect it to cost around INR 3.6 lakh (ex-showroom).
Reports of an upcoming motorcycle from the TVS-BMW family have been rife since May 2019. The duo is reportedly working on a naked version of the TVS Apache RR310. Whatever the model be, it will be manufactured at TVS’ Hosur manufacturing facility.
It’s not a secret that BMW is working on a more powerful and advanced version of its S1000RR motorcycle. A patent, filed in China, confirmed, that the hugely popular S1000RR model will receive a few updates for 2019.
China’s intellectual property office has published a design registration revealing the appearance of a new 2019 BMW S1000RR. The design, filed in February with China’s SIPO with a priority filing with Germany’s patent office in August 2017, reveals a sportbike looking nearly identical to spy photos we got earlier.
The asymmetrical fairing design will be identical to the current generation model and also feature a gill-like pattern on the right side and a single opening on the left. However, a new bike version will drop the S1000RR’s asymmetric headlights, choosing a pair of matching lights on either side of the central air intake.
The new 2019 BMW S1000RR is expected to receive an updated engine. The motorcycle will continue to use an inline four-cylinder engine, with the four header pipes merging into two before entering a collector likely containing the catalyst and finished off with a silencer, that looks smaller in comparison with the 2018 model. At the same time, it’s expected to be more powerful.
Of course, all these updates and changes are not made of stone and possibly we won’t see them in the production model. But we can find it out when BMW officially introduces the S1000RR for 2019. We may see the motorcycle at the 2018 EICMA motorcycle show or at INTERMOT in Cologne over the next couple of months.
Recently, a test mule of the BMW S1000RR was spotted testing somewhere in Germany. The bike was said to carry a lot of updates and was expected to be the new-generation bike. The new spyshots of the new-generation BMW S1000RR surfaced on the internet and they say a lot about how the new S1000RR will look like and what kind of equipment will it carry. With the new Ducati V4 superbike launch on the anvil, BMW has already started work on upping the ante. Let"s have a look at what these spyshots have to reveal.
First and foremost, BMW has done away with the asymmetrical headlamps and the test mule is seen having two round lamps instead. Frankly, we liked the previous setup as it gave an aggressive demeanour to the current S1000RR and created a distinct image of it. With the twin LED projector headlamps and the central air intake, it looks like just another superbike. The indicators too are now mounted on the rear-view mirrors. A closer look at the spyshots also reveals that the bike has seen a reduction in size. It looks more compact, with a shorter tail-piece and a tail-lamps and rear indicators integrated into the same LED bulbs. The rear sub-frame is tubular now and is brand new as well.
The other big change is the new instrumentation console, which is a high-definition TFT screen. Along with showing every possible detail and adjustment, it might also offer smartphone connectivity. Reports also mention that BMW will offer satellite navigation.
While there is no word on exact specifications, the pictures show that BMW has played around with the motor and lot of components such as the water pump, crankcase, cylinder heads etc. are new. There might also be a counter-rotating crank in order to make it agile around a racetrack. The engine is expected to make above 205 bhp and also meet Euro V emission norms. Needless to say, it will lso make its way to the BMW S1000R naked bike and the BMW S1000XR sport tourer. Other cycle parts such as the swingarm and the rear shock absorber are new units as well. The rear monoshock is now more upright and set rear instead of the earlier forward leaning spring shock. The frame still makes use of metal alloy and is not of carbon-fibre, which comes as a surprise. Nonetheless, we expect the new-gen BMW S1000RR to be an absolute hoot. Not that it is not one, now!
SMC Asia Car Distributors Corporation, the official distributor of BMW Motorrad in the Philippines is bringing in a small batch of the first-ever M bike: the M 1000RR.
The BMW M 1000RR comes with seven riding modes. It also is equipped with Dynamic Traction Control and Wheelie Control that are managed by a six-axis inertial platform. The six-speed gearbox is equipped with Shift Assistant Pro for clutchless gear shifting up and down. For racetrack optimization, the shifting pattern can be easily inverted from standard to GP shift.
In the Philippines, BMW Philippines has brought in the M 1000 RR in the Competition package. This adds M milled parts and M carbon fiber parts further highlighting the sporty look. Only one color is available and that’s Light White / M Motorsport.
