3- 2011 BMW S1000RR: Before we bring up its scandalous price, pay attention to these specs: high-tech construction, 200 hp at over 13,000 rpm, Brembo brakes, race ABS, fully-adjustable Sachs suspension, gear shift assistant, drop sensor, sophisticated electronics (including Dynamic Traction Control) and more. Forget about rear tire grip loss as you power your way out of corners. In the end, mere mortals can turn into near pros on a track. As for the MSRP, here it is: $17,650.
