No, it’s German manufacturer BMW Motorrad which has, arguably, dominated the supersports market – in the form of its S1000RR. The bike was first introduced in 2009, when just 1,000 were produced in order to meet homologation requirements for the firm’s new World Superbike Championship machine. This latest version I am testing here came out last year and represents a major overhaul. “This we translated into straightforward targets – one second faster on the track, more than 10kg lighter and easier to control. Handling is superb thanks to the new Flex Frame, improved suspension and dynamic damping control.
