BMW HAVE announced that their all-new superbike, the S1000RR will go on sale in the US at a cost of $13,500 which equates to around £8,500.
However, we won't be able to snap up an S1000RR at that price here in the UK, the S1000RR's anticipated UK price will be closer to £12,000 in standard trim.
BMW USA have also listed the prices for optional extras as follows:
- Motorsports Paint Scheme: $750 (£460)
- Race ABS: $1,000 (£610)
- Race ABS & Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) $1,480 (£910)
- Gear Shift Assistant: $450 (£275)
- Anti Theft Alarm: $395 (£250)
So a fully-laden BMW S1000RR will all the optional extras will cost in the region of £10,500 in the USA, however we expect that to be closer to £14,000 here in the UK.
Last week we reported that BMW want to take the Japanese head on with their pricing but at the moment a standard S1000RR still looks like it'll be at least two-thousand pounds more expensive than a standard Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade.
