A BMW to run in the AMA...

Looks like Iron Horse BMW/ESP is putting Chris Peris on the new S1000RR, first race at Fontana...... RRW Linky.....

 

nice, I can't wait to see this!

 

Eric Pinson ran a BMW S1000RR at Daytona and they'll be running more of the AMA rounds.

He talks about it in "Superbike Grid Walk One" on OTT.

Cheers,

Excellent stuff. Go, Chris!

 

Chris, the BMW and ESP should make a nice combo! Good luck! Glad to see them back!

 

great to see more bikes out on the grid

 

chris broke the lap record he set at INDE on his race prepped gsxr. yup he did it with a bone stock BMW with dunlop specs

 

I've got a feeling that the ESP/Chris Peris/BMW combo is going to stun more than a few people.

 

I read a little of Chris Ulrich's review of the Beemer. He said bone stock it could sit on an AMA Superbike grid. Sounds like it could be a killer with the right tuning/rider.

 

That was the first time around. This past weekend he was out there with aftermarket suspension and triple clamp offset I believe. By the end of the weekend he broke his previous record by 2sec. It was amazing to watch him ride...he's an animal.

 

Cant wait to see how well this bike performs!

 

It did...

At Daytona even with the Speed Limiter and the Lean Sensors holding the bike back it ran with a stock motor and suspension and placed in the top 15.

 

you say that as if you have one!!!! ha!

 

I just watched a video someone posted on a tucson forum of him (well like 30 seconds of him) passing the guy shooting out at INDE from this past weekend.

Chris is crazy fast, and evan and the guys love this sport and are so educated in everything that yeah, its going to be a sweet deal and I hope it branches out to more events!

 

Yeah i was there on the track and that video was from Sean I believe. Evan knows quite a bit about suspension too and motor work. And the thing is...all those guys are so down to earth and pretty cool.

 

What makes you think that...
