Let's see, this project started back on April 23rd. So, that would mean if I do my math correctly we've been at this now for 4 months. In that period of time we've managed to test;
- three different kinds of fork cartridges (Ohlins, Traxxion Dynamics, and X Dot)
- two differnt shock absorbers (Ohlins, and Bitubo)
- three different types of exhaust (Akrapovic, Devil, and Yoshimura)
- Stock and flashed ECUs
- Stock, driven, and alpha clipons
- Stock, PVM, and BST wheels
- Stock, SBS, and Vesrah Brake pads
- Stock, BMW, and Attack Rearsets
- Stock and Attack Triple Clamps
- Stock vs. HT Moto Seats
- Three different Lee's Cycle engine configurations
during our racing endeavors at 6 different tracks;
- Buttonwillow Raceways Park *
- Miller Motorsports Park
- Streets of Willow *
- Infineon Raceway
- Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
- Willow Spring International Raceway
We've managed to take ownership of 2 lap records (*), and win 6 out of 9 races.
The bike has been thrown down the road three times, had the frame cracked once, destroyed one set of carbon fiber wheels, and taught us that SBS brake pads might not be the best option!
The team has invested a lot of resources, traveled thousands of miles, hundreds of hours into the development of the BMW S1000RR. We're always zeroing in on the best combination of parts from aftermarket vendors, BMW, and in house. That's right in house!
Currently we have another batch of prototype parts at the machine shop in order to further improve on the parts we've made already. These include but are not limited to an adjustable shock linkage with a new progression ratio, new swing arm pivots, and ... Believe me we're always turning the screws here to see how we can make this package lighter, faster, and more comfortable for the rider.
If you're reading as a current S1000RR owner, then congratulations. You own the best sportbike on the planet! Not only has it blown the doors off everything else bone stock, but this Superbike has taken a seasoned AMA Pro rider around every track he's been to thus far faster than he's ever gone before!
Keep checking back for more results and updates, were looking forward to it and hope you are too!
