HERE ARE the funky graphics on the BMW S1000RR Superbike that has been out testing again in France.

The bike, which will contest the 2009 World Superbike Championship, has been out testing at Magny-Cours in the hands of full-time factory test rider Steve Martin.

According to watchers at the track, the bike and rider were pretty close to record pace on the new machine fuelling rumours that the bike may yet make an appearance at the French circuit when the WSB championship goes there this October 5.

This is in fact the PSI Leathers sponsored rider Richard Cooper of Nottingham and not Mr Martin.

I know this because he is wearing one of my suits!
