2010 BMW S1000RR WILD CHILD



In 2010, Dystany ran an 8.61 @ 163.61 MPH on a stretched and bolt-on upgraded S1000RR during the Manufacturer’s Cup Finals in Valdosta, GA. It wasn’t long after that she jotted down “Bimmer” on her birthday wish list. Her dream came true and after the excitement of unwrapping an S1000RR subsided aftermarket additions converted a stock bike into a killer at the strip.
Freddy at Killer Kreations took Dystany’s favorite color, hot pink, and created a scheme with wicked edge to match the bike’s performance. Adding flavor came compliments of airbrush work that cartooned Dystany on the tank and showcased her race number on the fairing face. Pattern artwork and a paint- splatter effect added onto the black frame and lower tank panels made it a showstopper. The bolt-ons added further bite.
A full Akrapovic exhaust system gave it a raucous roar and DME Racing’s 67-inch extended swingarm kept the front planted under throttle-heavy launches off the light. Vortex sprockets, MPS air shifter and a light EK O-Ring chain helped propel this moto-missle 1,320 feet to a best time of 8.47 @ 158 MPH. R&G; Racing crash protectors wait in the ready if traction gives way. Pink and proud, this two-wheeled strip star routinely turns heads far before it reaches the burnout box and runs consistent 8.60s thanks to a pilot who is actually considering a new speed-rich sport called NASCAR—we hope bikes stay in her blood.
When a college-aged girl goes shopping for a BMW, a 3-Series convertible is usually on her mind. But while a German coupe might be the desired ride for some young women, Dystany Spurlock is no ordinary 20-year-old. She opted for the much meaner S1000RR. Complete with excessive power and a list of gadgets, this bike is a rocket ship that will put an M-Series driver to shame. Dystany comes from a lineage of riders including a godfather who drag raced. Her first bike, a 2006 GSX-R750 helped her get acquainted with the strip but when the Gixxer wasn’t enough, it was swapped for what you see here.

Brand New 2015 BMW S1000RR

BMW has updated the cylinder head and intake system, ultimately growing peak power figures by 6 horsepower and increasing torque figures near 5000 rpm. Specific changes include reshaped intake and exhaust ports, a new cam shape for the intake camshaft, plus lighter intake valves and intake valve springs. The velocity stacks were shortened (the variable length system remains), which in combination with the aforementioned changes, improves the engine’s ability to get the exhaust gases out of the cylinder and the fresh air/fuel mix in. Moreover, the servo motor acting on BMW’s ride-by-wire throttle valves was made smaller, which enabled engineers to grow the airbox and go to a fully symmetric design for optimized power output.
Small updates, big difference
Spent gases exit a newly shaped exhaust with twin-pipe design and no under-engine canister, updates which combine to lower back-pressure and increase torque at medium revs. The exhaust looks better in person than it does in pictures, and contributes to a massive 6.6 pound decrease in overall weight. Like any other BMW S 1000 RR exhaust, the system has a bark that dwarfs the exhaust note of any other OE exhaust system. And need we mention again its 6.6 pounds lighter






Standard riding modes include Rain, Sport, and Race, but you can upgrade to the Pro riding mode, which features two additional riding modes, Slick and User, along with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), which is adjustable between -7 to 0 to +7 settings when riding in Slick or User. In addition to this, the Pro riding mode includes launch control as well as a programmable pit lane limiter, electronic functions that are very easily controlled by the starter button. In User mode, riders can select a setting for the Race ABS, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), and Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) suspension. In the other modes, these settings are determined for you..
Retail price of $13,800






While the S 1000 RR doesnt have a dedicated wheelie control feature, the optional DTC system does mitigate wheelies. Re-tuned settings allow the bike to carry small wheelies in modes lower than Race without dropping the front wheel back to the ground in a manner thatll hurt your, ugh, sensitive bits
No, BMW didn’t need to update its S 1000 RR, but we’re glad they did.
