BMW R-Series tech info
BMW R-Series description
A super nice 2005 BMW R1200RT, purchased new in 2006 from BMW of Daytona, it now has 54,XXX,XX miles. It has been extremely well cared for and maintained. I am the only owner of this bike. It runs and handles great, never an issue. The paint and body are in very good condition. The things you see in the photos are reflections from the parking lot where the pictures were taken and are not blemishes.
1. Cee Bailey’s Windshield
2. Up-grade windshield supports.
3. It comes with the factory Radio Prep Kit to include factory installed speakers. I did not install a radio so the antenna was removed and a rubber plug was used to neatly plugged the hole. Antenna comes with the bike and everything is there to put it back on if you want to install a radio. I use the radio space for a glove box.
4. Handle bar risers – moved the bars up and back about an inch. Keep them if you like the position, remove them if you don’t.
5. Gerber, mounted Dual Heat Controller with heat adjustment knobs. Just plug your heated clothing into the connector at the front of the seat and use the heat control knobs on the left faring to regulate the temperature to your liking. That’s the two knobs you see in the photo. Works great and has little LED lights so you know the heat setting.
6. Bill Mayer Front Saddle.
7. Stock rear seat covered by Bill Mayer to match the front.
8. Up-graded Suspension front and rear (Works Performance). Still maintains the Electronic Suspension Control. Supposed to be 1 inch lower but I can’t tell any difference. Center and side stand lowered about a quarter inch - so much easier to put on the center stand. If you've never ridden a bike with upgraded suspension you won’t believe the enhanced ride difference. This upgrade alone was over $1,200.00.
9. New, in-the-box brake pads.
10. Also comes with a new in-the-box spare oil filter.
11. Tires are alright and are safe but they will need changing soon.
There’s nothing wrong with the bike: it's not beat-up, scratched-up or abused and it does not have a ton of miles on it. It’s an excellent bike and it has been very good to me.
Some dealer service (stamps in book to verify) but primarily serviced and maintained by me. Service Records available. I had two back surgeries in the last two years. You will see in the service records the bike hasn't been serviced in a while. This is directly related to the surgeries and lack of riding.
No warranty expressed or implied. Must pick up locally or arrange for your own shipping.
Thanks for looking.

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
James Toseland Announces Retirement from Racing
Fri, 09 Sep 2011Two-time World Superbike Champion James Toseland announced his immediate retirement from motorcycle racing due to a debilitating injury to his right wrist. Signed with the BMW Motor Italia racing team, Toseland has been limited to just seven of 20 races in this season’s WSBK Championship due to the wrist injury initially suffered during a private test at Spain’s Aragon circuit in March. After undergoing an operation for the injury, Toseland made two attempts at returning to racing, first at the Miller Motorsports Park round in May and again at the Silverstone round in July.
Is there anything you CAN'T do on an S1000RR?
Mon, 08 Mar 2010WE'VE SEEN videos of BMW's stunning new S1000RR pulling wheelies, stunting, sliding, racing a 700bhp Corvette, featured in a music video - we've even had a look inside the engine and now the company are using the 190bhp superbike as part of a new-style drag act - but not the Danny La Rue type. Real or not, the clip makes for amusing viewing. Have a look.
