R&G Racing – the world’s number one manufacturer of crash protection – has now released a fitment for BMW’s new superbike – the awesome S1000RR. The new four-cylinder machine has already enjoyed a competitive season in the World Superbike series in the hands of riders Troy Corser and Ruben Xaus and later this month the road-going version of this stunning machine will be launched at the Portimao circuit in Portugal.

BMW dealers are expected to receive bikes in the UK early in the new year.

 

The bike offers 193bhp at 13,000rpm and optional extras such as Race ABS, Gearshift Assist, Dynamic Traction Control and a race-paint option so you can play at being Corser or Xaus! Whatever model you buy, the S1000RR is set to become a modern classic, heralding as it does BMW’s debut in the fiercely-competitive supersport litre-class. With a new S1000RR being priced from £10,950, R&G Racing has already got a number of fitments available to owners who wish to wisely protect the investment made in this superb machine!

The crash protectors feature R&G Racing’s stylish and aerodynamic Aero Bobbin, featuring a unique teardrop shape and fitted with a removable end-cap to hide the fittings to keep the sleek looks of the S1000RR intact. This attractive crash protection design will prove to be a winner on road and track while also helping to protect your S1000RR from serious damage should the worst occur. Simon Hughes, Sales Director for R&G Racing says: “BMW has given us access to the prototype machines to ensure an exact fit and to have the products available well before the worldwide launch.

Customers can now protect and tweak their new machines from the beginning of the ownership experience.” R&G Aero Bobbin Protectors are finished in black to complement their position on the S1000RR, and the retail price to protect more than £10,000-worth of motorcycle is just £66.54.

Also available are Bar End Sliders, Fork Protectors, Cotton Reels, Tail Tidy, Oil Cooler Guard, Radiator Guard, Toe Guard and Pillion Peg Blanking Plates. This year R&G Racing celebrates 10 years of producing high-quality crash protection and other after-market accessories for motorcycles. The firm is also title sponsor of the R&G Racing Suzuki GSX-R Trophy.
