The S1000RR steers with a spirited level of agility, yet is stable and has well thought out ergonomics and extremely powerful brakes. It also seamlessly melds an advanced multi-mode traction control and anti-lock brake system that allows the rider to explore its outrageous performance in a safer manner (see Innovation Award).
But the real kicker is that BMW was able to do all this while still carrying a competitive price tag that is only $400 (base model) more expensive than the 2008 and 2009 Sportbike of the Year. It’s these reasons why the $13,800 BMW S1000RR is Motorcycle USA's selection of 2010 Sportbike of the Year.
