A different look at the 2010 S 1000 RR

2010-01-26T11:14:00.001-08:00

Since the introduction of the S 1000 RR we've all been obsessed with how much power it puts out, how fast it will go, what kind of lap times can one do on it..

However on the flip side, no one asked "How well can this bike stunt?". We have our answer!

Tardozzi to head up BMW World Superbike team!

2010-01-06T09:12:00.001-08:00

Just released is the news that Davide Tardozzi will be the Team Manager for the BMW World Superbike effort. This is great news as he's lead a very large amount of riders to championship titles while leading the Ducati Corse squad. 2010 just keeps getting better and better!

MCN has picked the S 1000 RR as the top 2010 literbike!

The S 1000 RR with the race replica paint scheme is absolutely stunning!

S 1000 RR @ Laguna Seca - MotoGP weekend!

2009-07-14T15:57:00.000-07:00

Here are a few shots of the S 1000 RR on display at the Laguna Seca round of MotoGP. WOW!

ABS is good! . . . .....sometimes

2009-05-21T14:30:00.000-07:00

The ABS systems on the BMW bikes are great! I recommend them to everyone interested in purchasing a BMW.

There are times when turning the ABS system off on an R 1200 GS is important.. such as riding in the dirt. For example:

S 1000 RR scores no points in Kyalami! :(

2009-05-19T17:18:00.000-07:00

What an unsatisfactory weekend for the BMW World Superbike team. Xaus retired from both races and Steve Martin, the voice we normally hear correcting Johnathan Green's commentating during every round of WSBK, stepped in for Troy Corser. Martin only could muster up a 22nd place finish in race 1, and slightly better 18th place in race two.

I hope Xaus doesn't start his normal trend spending more time rolling around in the dirt than on the track. I hope Corser is all healed up and ready to take a spot on the podium! I can't even imagine what it would feel like to have a bike bounce off of the back of your head / back.

Utah in two weeks! It will be good racing as usual! I can't wait!

May madness

2009-05-14T16:55:00.000-07:00

With May now here, we are seeing the effects of the summer riding season coming into full swing! Everyone is out and riding in the warm weather. It's great to see all the bikes on the road once again.

The big news for May is official unveiling of the S 1000 RR at the Monza round of the World Superbike circus. I can safely say that we are all excited to see this bike arrive! With that, there's a nifty 43 page document with all the bike specs. Very good stuff indeed. Makes me want to be first in line to receive the bike, however there already is a waiting list that's growing everyday!

Bay Area BMW Biker Blog Begins

2009-05-12T16:37:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone,

My name is Eric Wight and I am the business manager and partial owner of BMW Motorcycles of San Francisco. Welcome to the new BMW Motorcycles of San Francisco blog.

We thought folks might be interested in reading about the daily workings of a motorcycle shop here in the San Francisco bay area, so blog it is. If no one reads this maybe we will jump on the Twitter train, but for now we are going to keep with the basic blog format.

The main contributor to this blog will be our primary bike salesman, Bryan. I don't want to steal any of his thunder so I will sign off for now, but please enjoy the blog and we look forward to seeing you all in the shop or on the road in the near future.

-Eric
