About the BMW S1000RR HP4

Based on the S1000RR the HP4 is 9kg lighter and features a selection of improvements. Basically it is a factory superbike for the road, with a  price tag to match.

Apart from the substantial weight savings the Sachs "Semi-Active" suspension is the biggest enhancement over the standard model. The Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) system continually monitors riding style and adjusts front/rear damping settings accordingly.

There are four modes (rain, sport, race and slick) which change the power, anti-wheelie control and traction control.

There is also launch control system holds the engine at 8,000 rpm and works to prevent wheel spin and wheelies.

An optional Competition Package adds carbon fibre bodywork, race clutch and brake levers. It also includes racing stickers and blue wheels.

2013 BMW S1000RR HP4 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2013 BMW S1000RR HP4, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
