REMEMBER superfast, superhot bike chick Leslie Porterfield, the Guinness World Record Holder for being the fastest female motorcyclist? Well she's now been snapped by one of Germany's top photographers on the new BMW S1000RR.
Markus Hofmann snapped Leslie with the new 193bhp superbike BMW S1000RR, along with a host of other finely-attired women, at the aircraft hangar shoot. The styles of Markus' images makes a welcome change to the usual 'birds and bikes' stuff we're used to seeing in many British mags.
‘There are so many motorcycle manufacturers that combine motorcycles and women in an artless and sleazy way, that I thought there just had to be a better way of doing it,’ says Hofmann. ‘I had no intention of putting a naked woman on a bike, and it was very clear to me that the bike had to be the S1000RR superbike in the same colour that people have seen on the racetrack in 2009. I didn’t want the bike to fade into the background either – showing the name of the manufacturer was also very important for me, because it made the feeling of a pit stop and racetrack environment much more authentic,’ he adds.
We concur.
