“MCN uncovered a secret dyno test result sheet of a pre-production S1000RR in April which made 182bhp at the tyre, and 200bhp at the crank.

At the time there was internal concern at BMW over releasing a 200bhp claimed figure – top brass were concerned over sparking political controversy by releasing a 200bhp road bike.

The new figure proves that BMW has understated the true power of the engine.

The 183bhp, EEC-corrected figure is a full 13bhp more than a Kawasaki ZX-10R MCN has tested on the same dynamometer – and Kawasaki press bikes are notorious for making more power than customer bikes.

The current class-leading Yamaha YZF-R1 makes 155bhp – 28bhp less!”

    BMW was always under the rule of self imposed power restriction , but apparently as the supersport segment is the larges in bike sales ,they have decided to drop thier guards & give the competion a run 4 thier money.

    @R1, that remain to be seen ;-) , i think TriStar will not bring more than one bike, so good luck in finding it on the streets and with someone who is willing to give it a go with you or me.
