BMW has re-comitted themselves to street bikes, and are looking to start racing professionally again. We should see them in MotoGP in the next few years!

They will be releasing a street bike that will compete with the Ninja and GSXR's, not only with performance, but with a price as well. Should be interesting.

The street version of the new SS1000R did not materialize, but following Aprilia’s lead, a quite extreme HP2 based tracker-chopper was placed in the center stage. The so-called Lo Rider concept bike is supposed to show the way in “customer interaction” by offering a multitude of options to build it into a pseudo cruiser or a naked Sportster.

“Numerous options including different exhaust systems, seats, headlamp units and paint finish variations allow for a level of customization which is far greater than the familiar individualization by means of special equipment features and accessories,” says a BMW press release. “This means that the entire character of the vehicle can be adapted to the customer’s individual taste: the customer can take full pleasure in assembling a machine just as he wants it – from a cool cruiser to an aggressive muscle bike.

“The bike’s low weight, the powerful and high-torque flat-Twin engine and high-quality chassis technology give it a high level of sporty riding dynamics, while the lowered chassis and the relaxed yet active seating position with the broad handlebars are more of a loan from cruisers and naked bikes.”

Here is some old info about the S1000RR, not sure on present status, conflicting information...

It does sound like BMW NA is re-thinking supply strategy, given the difficult american market (due to currency exchange)
