BMW’s hugely popular RR Experience Test Ride Days are back for another year in 2015. The RR Experience gives potential customers and current BMW riders the chance to experience the brilliant S 1000 RR superbike on a racetrack, which really, is its true habitat.
The 2015 model year is going to be a big one for BMW, as it sees the first all-new S 1000 RR since the bike’s launch back in 2010. An all-new chassis and engine package, which now boasts an incredible claimed 199hp and 204kg ready-to-ride weight, as well as electronic trickery pioneered by the HP4 and the K-series touring range such as the new Quickshift Pro system that allows for clutchless up and down shifts, make the 2015 S 1000 RR one of the most eagerly awaited machines of the year.
But even if you don’t want to try the new S 1000 RR, you can hop on a 2015 K 1300 S, K 1300 R, R 1200 GS and the new R 1200 R. The cost is $89 for one test ride session and this includes an event t-shirt and light refreshments.
Alternatively you could go the whole hog and sign up for a RR Experience Track Day. All you need is a road registered bike (doesn’t have to be a BMW), no slick tyres and no racebikes. For $280 including garage, t-shirt and light refreshments, that’s pretty good value if you’ve never done a track day before and want to see what it’s all about. RR Track Day riders will also get the chance for a spin on a new S 1000 RR or other BMW models, provided there’s stock available.
