2015 BMW S1000RR: The wicked S1000RR no longer requires great concentration and plenty of effort to master. BMW revised all the mechanical and electronic components of the outgoing HP4 to make the bike sharper overall and especially more accessible to ordinary riders. Not a single square inch was left to guesswork, and the 2015 BMW S1000RR is now a quick and fast superbike in the hands of anyone.

The various electronic aids don't actually work for you but rather with you, showing a lot more transparency and stepping in only when you make a mistake.

Bottom line: The HP4 world just opened up to a larger number of enthusiasts. More powerful and more agile, yet easier to exploit and safer than ever, the new 2015 BMW S1000RR is as close to perfection as a superbike can be.
