The 2015 BMW Motorrad RR Experience has concluded after a fantastic program across three states.

From Phillip Island to Sydney Motorsport Park and finally Queensland Raceway, hundreds of riders took the opportunity to experience the race-bred BMW S 1000 RR in its natural habitat.

BMW Motorrad, California Superbike School and Pirelli came together to offer the ultimate test ride. The partnership was the perfect fit creating an authentic track experience for event participants.

Riders experienced the immense power and impressive technology of the latest incarnation of the award-winning S 1000 RR. As well as the RR, some riders also enjoyed the controlled track environment on the naked S 1000 R, the stunning new R 1200 R, award winning R 1200 GS and the four-cylinder K 1300 S and K 1300 R.

For others, it was the first time they had the opportunity to ride their own BMW motorcycle at a track day.

Racing legends Cam Donald and Chris Vermeulen attended the track days and provided useful riding tips, as well as countless photo opportunities with participants.

BMW Motorrad Australia marketing manager, Miles Davis, was on hand to impart his knowledge of the bikes through ABS and traction control demonstrations and other feature presentations.

“The RR Experience was again an amazing success,” Davis said. “On three very different race tracks riders got to experience BMW performance motorcycles, with the 199hp RR the star of the show.

“Riders were stunned by its power, braking performance, ease of riding and the incredible new quick-shift pro system. The clutch-less up and down shifts were a talking point after every session. This was the second RR Experience season and we are looking forward to returning with an even better event in 2016.”
