1997, a young Pierce Brosnan\u00a0plays second fiddle to the BMW R1200C\u00a0in “Tomorrow Never Dies”, and the German automotive company garners the attention and respect of motorcycling fans around the globe.\u00a0 That was pretty much it for the BMW motorcycle division (BMW Motorrad) until twelve years later in 2009, when\u00a0they again made a huge impression on the world motorcycling community with the debut of the BMW S 1000 RR Superbike.\u00a0 Here we are almost three years later and BMW is releasing the 2012 model, which, while not a a reconceptualization, does make some large changes and strides with an already near perfect product.<\/p>\n

The themes for the 2012 S 1000 RR Superbike\u00a0are precision and agility.\u00a0 One of the primary objectives pursued for the revised S 1000 RR model was to improve rideability by boosting thrust and enhancing the linearity and harmoniousness of the power and torque curves. The reconfigured throttle improves overall response.\u00a0 The new, optimised design raises response sensitivity, tightens the twist grip angle, and reduces the twisting force.<\/p>\n

In the opinion of Vroom, the 2012 S\u00a01000 RR Superbike gets it most right in the arena of style.\u00a0 An American style bike is very specific in its appeal, and that appeal does not reach out to everyone’s sensibilities.\u00a0 A Japanese bike, like say, a Kawasaki Ninja, is widely appealing and sophisticated, but that may be it’s downfall.\u00a0 No one wants to ride something that five other people on their block are riding.<\/p>\n

So this leaves us with BMW and Ducati.\u00a0 Ducati is a great company, based in Italy, and they manufacture a unique and appealing motorbike.\u00a0 While I would not hesitate to recommend a Ducati, I can understand\u00a0that they have made some bold choices, choices which, like the typical American bike, may not appeal to everyone.\u00a0 Which brings us to BMW, and more specifically the 2012 S 1000 RR.\u00a0 With the smooth hyper-modern curves of a Japanese style bike, the unique choices of an Italian racer, with a precision and luxrious warmth that uniquely German, all serving as a shell for precision road rocket, this bike seems to be the most well designed two wheel vehicle,\u00a0from both a visual and mechanical perspective, on the market today.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts can view and test drive any current production model BMW at any Phoenix Valley\u00a0BMW dealer.\u00a0 Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts should plan on attending the Phoenix Arizona International Auto Show to learn about the most recent concepts and innovations\u00a0from BMW, as well as the rest of the auto industry, taking place at the Phoenix Arizona Convention center over Thanksgiving weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1997, a young Pierce Brosnan\u00a0plays second fiddle to the BMW R1200C\u00a0in “Tomorrow Never Dies”, and the German automotive…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1915,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[12],"class_list":{"0":"post-1914","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-car-reviews","8":"tag-featured","9":"cs-entry","10":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"\nBMW Premiers World's Finest Motorcycle<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"2012 BMW S 1000 RR Bike Motorrad Motorcycle Best Ducati Kawasaki Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/bmw-premiers-worlds-finest-motorcycle\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BMW Premiers World's Finest Motorcycle\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"2012 BMW S 1000 RR Bike Motorrad Motorcycle Best Ducati Kawasaki Scottsdale Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/bmw-premiers-worlds-finest-motorcycle\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Arizona Auto News -
