Aprilia RSV4 Factory vs. BMW’s S1000RR vs. KTM RC8R

With BMW’s S1000RR and KTM’s updated and new-to-the-U.S. RC8R as an all-new model, the field of liter-ish superbikes expands considerably for 2010.
Apologies to MV Agusta for not counting the 2010 F4, but no one’s yet signed up to race it in a large-scale series – the KTM was the runner-up in the 2009 IDM (International German Superbike Championship). We sure wouldn’t mind a spin on the MV, though. (Hint, hint, MV Agusta.)
Like the race grid, we’ll now expand the roster of contestants in our annual liter test.
No longer limiting the battle to the Big Four from Japan, we’ll eventually include the BMW S1000RR on the list of participants powered by the popular inline-Four configuration.
But for now, to start off what has become a literbike mêlée, we’re first evaluating all the Vee configuration contenders.

Geico RMR Buell 1125R
Overall feel—especially the bike's front-end is one area where the racebike is significantly improved over a stock machine.
For an avid motorcyclist, one of the biggest question marks surrounding AMA Pro Road Racing’s Daytona SportBike class is what it’s like to ride one of these “SportBikes” in full factory race trim. Recently, Motorcycle-USA received just such an opportunity, piloting the Geico Powersports Richie Morris Racing Buell 1125R racebike around Road America’s 4-mile road course in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

In our Daytona SportBike street bike comparison we determined that, indeed, a production 2009 Buell 1125R has a performance advantage when compared to its class rivals - including the 2009 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R and Aprilia RSV1000R. But how does it compare to the stock motorcycle which it’s based off of? To our surprise, it isn’t all that different.

In order to create better parity within the class, the DSB series rules don’t allow a whole lot of engine modifications. (To view the current 2009 rules click here.) Instead the rules package gives more leeway for chassis modifications. Thus many of the team’s modifications are focused in that area.

Most apparent is the bare finish on the racebike’s aluminum frame and braced swingarm, which also allows for a conventional chain/sprocket final drive as opposed to the stock belt drive. It’s also surprising how much different the bike looks with race plastics. The lower fairing and tail sections make the 1125R racebike look closer to a Japanese or European sportbike, until your eye catches those two huge air scoops on either side as well as its oversized upper fairing, which remind you it’s all Buell.

Hop aboard the machine and notice its hard, slightly shorter seat. Designed to not only lower the rider’s center of gravity, the racing perch enhances feel between the rider and the back end of the motorcycle. Reaching forward to the handlebars, the rider feels more tucked in with the torso angled more closely to the bike. Placing feet on the footpegs, knees will tuck up into the bike's pseudo fuel tank much tighter than in the stock position. While the ergonomic changes aren’t exactly radical, they do enable the rider to direct more of his or her weight towards the front of the motorcycle.
Geico RMR Buell 1125R
The Geico RMR racebike’s powerband is not only broader but it hits harder too.


Poke the starter button and the engine gurgles to life with a deeper, scarier rumble courtesy of its $1799 exhaust system. Lift up on your left toe (reverse shift), notch the transmission into first gear and you’re ready to roll…

Maneuvering out of pit lane and onto Road America’s finely paved surface, one notices its limited steering radius due to the steering lock limiter. Fitted as a safety precaution, the device reduces the likelihood of severe headshake, which could cause the rider to lose control.

Slam open the throttle and, unlike its production brethren, the front wheel actually has a little easier time staying in contact with the road. This is most likely due to the way in which the controls keep your weight pushed ahead. With the throttle wide open, simply press down on the shift lever and the RMR 1125R jumps into the next gear courtesy of its quick shifter. Despite its final drive power delivery method being converted from belt to chain, gearing felt roughly the same with a tall first gear followed by closer gear-sequencing as you move down through the remaining five gears.

By the end of pit-lane you’re easily going well over 100 MPH before braking and merging onto the racing line as you go through Turn 1. Dial in full throttle and drift the bike wide onto the newly erected white and blue curbing on the outside. The front end gets light cresting a small hill, labeled Turn 2. From there, hug the left side of the track while accelerating in preparation for the right-hand corner ahead .

When entering Turn 3 it’s important not to downshift into too low of a gear, as its exit leads onto the first of three long straights. To get a decent lap time, it’s better to keep corner speed up and get on the gas early. Upshift into fourth, followed by fifth gear passing underneath the Sargento Bridge. The pavement bends slightly to the left, then right and is labeled as Turn 4 (though on a bike it’s not much of a turn at all). Only a soft touch of the handlebars is required for the bike to follow the curve of the road. It’s easy to appreciate the relative tranquility afforded by the 1125R’s humungous front fairing and raised windscreen. It’s almost ridiculous how much calm and comfort the pilot enjoys while blasting down the road at speeds of nearly 160 mph.

Geico RMR Buell 1125R
One of the biggest differences between a production and racing version of the 1125R is its braking performance.
The track slopes downward while grabbing the brakes for Turn 5, a slow-speed left-hander. Slowing from almost 160 to 50 mph is no easy feat, yet pulling back the front brake lever delivers a substantially higher level of brake feel and power compared to stock, due in part to the Superbike-spec Nissin radial master cylinder. In fact, closing in on the apex of the turn we quickly realize how much of a squid we are for braking so early.

Even on a warm, dry afternoon Turn 5 can be a slick. Fortunately, the bike’s smooth, yet copious, corner-exiting thrust is paired with a wide 5.75-inch magnesium wheel, which is lighter and also enhances the rear tire’s contact surface area to keep you in control. When the rear end does start to squirm finishing the corner and accelerating uphill into Turn 6, it’s surprisingly easy to control.

A 90-degree left awaits you at the top of the hill. Here it helps to have a bike that can change direction fast and the RMR 1125 continues to impress, no doubt due in part to Buell’s fundamental engineering principles, which include minimal weight and mass centralization not to mention the racebike’s lighter magnesium front rim. Ending up on the right side of the track on the exit of Turn 6, swing the bike over to the other side without letting off the gas, preparing to dive into Turn 7, a fast right-hander taken under acceleration in third gear. While really pushing it through this section, we notice the increased amount of front-end stability courtesy of the steering head cups which alter rake from 21 to 22-degrees.

Now it’s time to motor down another hill, termed Hurry Downs. Hitting the rev-limiter signals it’s time to brake, downshift into second gear, trail lightly on the brakes (this corner can be a bit slick, too) and hustle through Turn 8.

Steer the bike across the track and pass underneath the Johnsonville Bridge. Short shift into third gear and then dive into a long right-hand downhill arching turn, appropriately named, the Carousel. Here a considerable amount of time is spent on the right edge of the tires, so it’s important the bike not only stays planted but delivers enough feedback through the handlebars thereby allowing the rider to rail the corner as hard as possible. And the level of feedback delivered via the Ohlins-equipped fork is simply astounding. Where the stock set-up wistfully glides over pavement, the Ohlins units forces you to feel every crack, bump and pavement ripple, allowing the bike to be ridden hard and extort near maximum performance from the tires.

Barreling through the Carousel be sure to hold and inside line and gently work the throttle as the exit nears. Having a clear view of the exit, bring the bike in tight, close to the red-yellow curbing which serves as apex point, hit that, then dial in full throttle and let the bike drift wide before bringing it back over and setting up for Turn 11.

Previously known as the Kink, Turn 11 was modified a few years ago for safety reasons. In its previous configuration, the bend would be taken on the gas in third or fourth gear, depending on the bike. A solid concrete wall broke your fall if something were to go wrong and, unfortunately, quite often it did, thus the need for the revised chicane.

And despite what some say, it’s actually a fun section. Yet another hard braking section requires the rider to trail the binders heavily all the way to the apex of the entrance. The 1mm thicker perimeter-mounted ZTL2 brake disc, kit racing brake pads, and superbike-spec master cylinder deliver a superb amount of power as well as braking sensation. And when paired with its Ohlins-equipped front fork, all the ingredients are there to aggressively load the front tire into the turn.

As soon as you enter the chicane, it’s time to pickup the bike and swing it over, clip the curbing then pick up the throttle as hard as possible. Here the Ohlins TTX shock keeps the rear end from squatting too much, yet it allows the rear tire to dig into the pavement like a oversized paddle tire in sand and shoot you forward into RA’s second forested straightaway. It’s incredible how good this motorcycle gets off the corner. Yet even with all of this traction, there isn’t a hint of headshake.
Geico RMR Buell 1125R
It’s unreal just how efficiently the 1125R racebike puts its power down to the pavement.


While in stock form the 1125R’s engine is no slouch, the race pipes and updated fuel and ignition maps make for more robust mid-range power. From as low as 6000 revs, “Steamroller” pulls much harder and it just gets stronger as revs increase. However, reaching its rev ceiling it doesn’t have the same rush of power one might expect given how stout its mid-range is.

It feels like you’re in a blurred green time warp when clicking into third, fourth and then fifth gear zooming toward Canada Corner. Reaching the brake marker, pull back on the front lever, while rapidly downshifting into second gear. Buell’s Hydraulic Vacuum Assisted (HVA) back-torque limiting slipper clutch works perfectly here and is a carbon-copy of the one found in Danny Eslick’s No. 9 racebike.

Back on the power, run the bike all the way to the curbing while pointing it to the right edge of the track just before Turn 13. The bike smoothly turns to the right under full power, then as the corner nears steer the bike and nail the apex. Dial in full throttle without actually seeing where you’re going and the bike runs out over top of this small hill and into the final corner and start of RA’s final straightaway.

Turn 14 could be one of the trickiest corners on the track yet it’s my personal favorite. You can go ridiculously deep into the turn, so it’s important to stay on the gas until the last possible second - still turning while transitioning from gas to brake. Get into the front brake lever, grab a downshift and feel the rear end of the bike coming around. Continue to trail the front brake, but don’t go crazy as keeping corner speed is vital to maximizing drive onto the straight. Get on the gas as early as possible and Steamroller drifts outside as you put your head down in anticipation for a 20-second blast through the gears.

Geico RMR Buell 1125R
Imagine being in a blurred green time warp, that’s how you could describe zooming down one of Road America’s forested straightaway’s on Buell’s 1125R sportbike.
And that, my friends, is a lap around Road America aboard Danny Eslick’s RMR Buell 1125R Daytona SportBike.

Probably one of the coolest things about this RMR 1125R is every single part on the machine is available from Buell. So anyone can turn their Buell 1125R sportbike in to a full factory racer, no joke. Even better, the prices aren’t ridiculously out of line. In fact, including the cost of the bike you can build one of your own for under $25,000. And that’s the real deal - the same bike that factory-supported riders Eslick and Barnes pilot in DSB.

Given how solid of a platform Buell has in the base 1125R, it’s hardly a surprise just how good the RMR 1125R is. Not only does it deliver much sharper performance, it does so without sacrificing one of the 1125R’s most important hallmarks—ease of use. Simply put, this is one of the most user-friendly racing motorcycles we’ve ever ridden.

2010 BMW R1200GS Adventure

 
2010 BMW R1200GS Adventure
2010 BMW R1200GS Adventure

2010 BMW R1200GS Adventure
Wherever you are, get ready for it: whether taking a quick trip to the nearest mountains or setting off for a different continent to discover faraway new cultures. Range is not a problem with a tank capacity of 33 litres. Robustness? The G 1200 GS Adventure looks as if it had invented the term - and it certainly has defined it in the motorcycle world. This is partly due to the range of features which have become almost as legendary as the bike itself. On this machine you can take potholes with 20 mm more clearance than on the R 1200 GS. Perfect ergonomics, optimum gearing for every terrain. And a chassis which - whether fully loaded or not - will allow you to thrill your pillion passenger as well as surprise anyone ahead of you. Stone chip? Falls? Protectors! Ride on! The special equipment features off-road ESA and ASC continue to be unsurpassed. Unstoppable is their motto.
The bike’s unstoppable character is further enhanced with the new DOHC engine*, which first displayed its impressive performance in the legendary HP2 Sport. For the R 1200 GS Adventure, torque was given higher priority than output in line with practical considerations. And you can feel it. 120 Nm at the peak at 6000 rpm is one thing, but the consistently higher level of torque in the relevant range up to 5000 rpm can be fully experienced. The output has been increased to 81 kW (110 bhp) at 7750 rpm). The supreme riding pleasure is underscored by a powerful sound from the new exhaust system with exhaust flap which will everyone will love – so take a test ride now!
* DOHC = Double Overhead Camshaft, two overhead camshafts per cylinder

You are travelling on your motorcycle, often thousands of kilometres from home. Getting to know distant countries, continents and cultures. Whether asphalt, gravel or bumps - it is immaterial to you because your motorcycle takes you everywhere with complete comfort and reliability. Heat, cold, drought, wind and rain - it all quickens your heartbeat, because it lets you know you are on the road. If you see yourself in all this, this motorcycle is the right companion for you. Because the BMW R1200GS Adventure defines the standards for the ultimate indestructible adventure motorcycle. It is a perfect synthesis of agility, touring suitability and off-road capability - as standard!

Introducing the new BMW R 1200 GS and the new R 1200 GS Adventure,
BMW Motorrad is opening up yet another chapter in the story of highly
successful GS models which, for almost three decades, have been the epitome
of the large-capacity grand touring enduro.

Moving on from the former generation of the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure,
which already offered supreme power and performance as well as a very
broad range of practical riding qualities for long tours combined with supreme
pleasure on winding country and mountain roads, BMW Motorrad is now
enhancing this standard, as impressive as it already is, to an even higher level.

In its construction principle and fundamental layout, the new fl at-twin power
unit is the same as the DOHC engine on the BMW HP2 Sport. But marking the
new generation, the engine has been carefully updated and optimised for the
R 1200 GS and the R 1200 GS Adventure, tailored to the specifi c requirements
of a grand touring enduro.

With the 1,170-cc Boxer engine on the former models already ensuring
supreme power under all conditions and in all situations, the new R 1200 GS
and R 1200 GS Adventure have even more to offer in virtually every respect:
Delivering maximum output of 110 hp, reaching top engine speed up by 500 to
8,500 rpm, and with an even broader range of engine speed, the new GS
models are even more dynamic, powerful and muscular in terms of both torque
and acceleration throughout the entire speed range, thus setting the standard
once again for the grand touring enduro also in terms of riding dynamics.
New DOHC cylinder heads for even more effi cient cylinder charge.
Designed and built from the start for higher engine speed, the new fl at-twin
power unit in the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure, like the power unit
featured in the BMW HP2 Sport, comes with two overhead, chain-driven
camshafts (DOHC) per cylinder. The valves are operated by very light rocker
arms able to cope with even very high engine speeds through their low weight
alone. Radial arrangement of the four valves is ensured by the very compact
combustion chambers. Like on the former models, the fuel/air mixture is ignited
by two spark plugs (HP2 Sport: one spark plug), and the compression ratio of
12.0:1 is also the same as before.

Thanks to effi cient knock control, both models are able to run on premium
(plus) fuel with an octane rating of 95-98 RON (maximum output is measured
at 98 RON). Under certain conditions there may be a very small loss of torque
and a slight increase in fuel consumption as soon as knock control cuts in. On
long tours where the rider might be required to use inferior fuel, the engine may
also run on 91 RON regular fuel, using specifi c running data available as special
equipment free of charge straight from the factory.

Horizontal arrangement of the camshafts in the direction of travel gives the
new fl at-twin power unit two particular technical features: Each camshaft
controls one intake and exhaust valve and, due to the radial arrangement of
the valves, the cams come with a conical profi le. To increase both output and
torque, gas throughput has been increased throughout the entire speed range
by increasing valve plate diameter over the former models from 36 to 39 millimetres
(1.42–1.54") on the intake side and 31 to 33 millimetres (1.22–1.30") on
the exhaust side.

Intake and exhaust timing on the two camshafts has been optimised in particular
for supreme power at low and medium engine speeds and for even faster,
free-revving engine performance throughout the entire range. To increase the
free valve cross-section, valve lift is up by 10.54 mm (0.415") on the intake and
9.26 mm (0.365") on the exhaust side to 10.8 mm (0.425") on both sides. Valve
clearance is compensated by light semi-hemispherical shims.


More power and extra torque throughout the entire speed range.

The existing ratio of bore and stroke of 101:73 millimetres (3.98 : 2.87") remains
the same as before, as does the engine’s cubic capacity of 1,170 cc. Other
features likewise carried over from the former power unit are the crankshafts
and connecting rods as well as their mounts and bearings, while the two new
cast-aluminium pistons have been re-designed to match the change in combustion
chamber geometry.

Interacting with the upgraded intake system now featuring black instead of silver
throttle butterfl y manifolds as on the former models measuring 50 mm (1.97")
instead of formerly 47 mm (1.85") (HP2 Sport: 52 mm/2.05") opening clearance
and with newly designed intake air funnels and an air fi lter element with higher
throughput, the engine now develops maximum output of 81 kW/110 PS
at 7,750 rpm and peak torque of 120 Nm/88 lb-ft at 6,000 rpm. An oil cooler
ensures stable thermal conditions even when riding to the extreme.

In all, the modifi cations to the drivetrain provide a signifi cantly more homogeneous
fl ow of power and torque throughout the entire speed range. In this process
of technical development, the engines now feature magnesium-coloured
cylinder head covers with two instead of formerly four fastening bolts and come
in new, even more dynamic design. A valve cover guard made of aluminium
or plastic as well as a chrome-plated aluminium cylinder head cover may be
retrofitted as special equipment.

Electronically controlled exhaust fl ap for even more muscular sound.
Moving on to the exhaust system, the two manifolds are the same as before in
their design, length and diameter, while a modifi ed interference pipe caters for
the change in vibration conditions in the exhaust system.

Featuring an exhaust fl ap controlled by an electric motor as well as opening
and closing cables, both the new BMW R 1200 GS and the new R 1200 GS
Adventure provide a particularly throaty boxer sound naturally in full compliance
with legal standards. And to reduce ram pressure and improve the sound of the
engine even further, the rear silencer remaining the same in design as on the
former models comes with a completely new interior structure.

Ideal transmission of power through six-speed gearbox and drive shaft.
Power is transmitted as before by the proven six-speed gearbox with larger
bearing diameters and a modifi ed distance between the individual shafts already
upgraded technically for the 2008 model year. In the process the gear ratios
were once again adjusted and the secondary transmission has been modifi ed
from i = 2.82 to i = 2.91.

In conjunction with the new, even more powerful engine, this once again
means signifi cantly more torque and pulling force throughout the entire range
of engine speed.

The new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure also benefi t from optimised
shift kinematics with an optimised power/travel curve for precise gearshift and
clear feedback at all times.

The maintenance-free drive shaft to the rear wheel also remains unchanged,
relieving the rider of annoying and time-consuming maintenance requirements
particularly on long tours.

Proven running gear and high-performance brakes with Integral ABS.
Like their predecessors, the new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure offer an
almost perfect synthesis of offroad and onroad riding qualities. As in the past,
the stiff and torsionally-resistant suspension, front wheel guidance with the
unique BMW Telelever, and the rear wheel incorporating the BMW Paralever
guarantee fi rst-class and absolutely safe riding qualities also with the new
engine offering even more power and torque.

In conjunction with optional BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, extremely powerful
brakes serve additionally to provide maximum safety even in critical situations.
Optimum environmental compatibility, fi nally, is ensured also on the new boxer
engine through the most advanced exhaust gas management with a fullycontrolled
three-way catalytic converter.

Enduro ESA as special equipment for optimum electronic adjustment
of the running gear for every purpose.

Designed and built for the specifi c requirements of a grand touring enduro, Enduro
ESA Electronic Suspension Adjustment available also on the latest version of
the R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure as an optional extra straight from the
factory allows adjustment of the running gear under all kinds of running conditions
and with virtually any load level, simply by pressing a button. An important feature
is that Enduro ESA offers both an onroad and offroad mode within which the
rider, choosing specifi c settings for the spring base and damping, is able to adjust
the suspension even more precisely to specifi c needs and requirements.

As usual, Enduro ESA meets the particular requirements made of a grand touring
enduro by additional electrohydraulic adjustment of the spring base on the front
spring strut. When riding offroad, this ensures a far smoother ride without the
wheel breaking through, and without the disadvantages otherwise experienced
onroad such as shorter negative spring travel or greater seat height.
Optimum ergonomics and even more practical features.

Made of a heat-treated aluminium tube, the high-quality and sophisticated
handlebar, interacting with two asymmetrically mounted clamps turning by
up to 180o, as on the HP2 Enduro Sports, may be fitted in two ergonomically
different positions. While the rear handlebar position for riding onroad and in
less demanding terrain ensures optimum ergonomics particularly for the shorter
rider, the front handlebar position offers advantages in particular when standing
up on the machine in rough terrain.

The hand protectors available as special equipment for the R 1200 GS are
fitted as standard straight from the factory on the R 1200 GS Adventure. In the
process of technically upgrading the successful R 1200 GS models, the instrument
cluster has received a new dial in new design. And last but not least, the
windshield now comes with larger hand-bolts with even better grip for adjusting
its position with greater ease.


Optional extras and accessories tailored to both the rider and the
machine.

As a genuine, fully-fl edged systems supplier, BMW Motorrad has developed a
wide range of optional extras and special equipment for further customisation of
the new R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure. One particularly important new
feature is the additional headlights in LED technology.
