Default BMW offering the Race ABS & Dynamic Traction Control worth $1,480 for free

To active military who purchase a S1000RR

under promotions

The World’s Fastest Superbike is also the Safest

"The greatest testament to the rider aids the S1000RR has introduced is that not one bike was crashed throughout the press event that witnessed 160 journalists sampling the machine."
– Cycle World

BMW Motorrad USA is delighted to launch a promotion to help our active-duty servicemen and women ride more safely. Active* military personnel who purchase a new BMW S 1000 RR from August 19, 2010 until December 31, 2010, will receive a free safety package including Race ABS & Dynamic Traction Control worth $1,480 from BMW Motorrad USA.

The number of accidents, injuries, and deaths among US military personnel has been an issue of great concern throughout the U.S. armed forces. BMW Motorrad USA’s performance riding training partner the California Superbike School (CSS) is actively involved in providing training to the U.S. Marine Corps to help reduce the number of Marines that are injured and killed in motorcycle accidents.

This year, CSS switched from rival 600 Supersport motorcycles to the BMW S 1000 RR. Despite having 80 more horsepower, the number of student crashes on track has declined by 58%. While the tracks, training, and students haven’t changed, the safety features of the S 1000 RR have led to a significant reduction in accidents.

The new BMW S 1000 RR is not only the most powerful production bike on the planet, it’s also the safest, thanks to the cutting-edge electronic rider aids Race ABS and Dynamic Traction Control. No other motorcycle from any manufacturer offers this unique combination of safety features.

To show our gratitude and appreciation to our men and women in uniform for their service to our country BMW now offers them our safety package on the S 1000 RR for free. The result will be safer riders, fewer accidents and greater protection against harm to those who protect us.

For more information, please contact your nearest BMW Motorrad USA authorized dealer, or visit BMWMotorcycles.com.

>>*Active members include active duty (including activated Reservists) of the U.S. Air force, Army, Navy, Marines, National Guard, Coast Guard, Veterans Administration and those who have recently finished active service (within 6 months) with a current military identification card or are a key military contractor. A copy of Department of Defense form 214 may be necessary for those who recently have been discharged from active service.
