What to remember
Straight from the factory, with no modifications, the second-generation BMW S 1000 RR reaches 311 km/h. Produced from 2019, it is powered by a 999 cc inline-four engine producing 205 hp (153 kW).
A production motorcycle has a precise meaning here: an unmodified machine, built in series and available to the general public. Modified or specially built motorcycles belong to a different class, the motorcycle land-speed records sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM).
Production bikes have no official tester: tests were run under unequal or undefined conditions, mostly by motorcycling magazines, so figures sometimes contradict each other. Some figures also give 310 km/h (193 mph) for this BMW, and by some measures it is faster than the MV Agusta F4 R 312. BMW sells its motorcycles under the BMW Motorrad brand.
