Perhaps you prefer something a whole heck of a lot faster. Something like the BMW S 1000 RR, which features race-bred technology to set the track, backroads, and possibly your hair, on fire.

The sleek styling helps the lightweight motorcycle, weighing a mere 427 pounds thanks to things like optional M carbon wheels, punch through the air. And the punch is the right word, thanks to the inline four-cylinder engine that spins up to an astounding 14,600 rpm, and delivers 205 horsepower at 13,000 rpm and 83 lb-ft of torque at 11,000 RPM. Helping you keep tabs on that engine is a crisp 6.5-inch TFT display that gives you all the info you need with a glance. Helping to deliver unrivaled cornering is the optional Dynamic Damping Control that adjusts to the road within ten milliseconds to ensure grip.
