Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey (December 7, 2009) - Beginning in 2010, BMW’s S1000RR superbike will be available at training sessions offered by Keith Code’s California Superbike School.
The school has 48 events scheduled at race tracks around the country beginning in March. Riders will have the option of using their own bike or renting one of the school’s 2010 BMW S1000RR motorcycles for one- or two-day training sessions.

BMW launched the most anticipated new sport bike in recent history, the S1000RR, at the famed Monza racetrack, in Italy, during the Superbike World Championship race weekend on May 9, 2009. The S1000RR, weighing only 404 lbs. and delivering a claimed 193 horsepower, is one of the most powerful, sophisticated and lightest sport bikes ever produced.
In addition to the class-leading power plant, the BMW S1000RR possesses new technical features, such as the first-ever four-stage Race ABS system with settings for Rain, Sport, Race and Slick conditions. The groundbreaking new ABS system weighs only about 5.5 lbs complete – nearly 20 lbs lighter than the competition.
The production version of the S1000RR was officially unveiled in the U.S. at Miller Motorsports Park in Utah during WSBK races, during the last weekend of May. Following its U.S. unveiling, BMW’s official S1000RR ambassadors, have been traveling to dealerships across the nation for special S1000RR presentations, track days and dealer events during the Pre-Sale Program, which runs through December 31, 2009. The S1000RR sport bike – expected to arrive in U.S. dealerships at the end of January -- has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $13,800.
