Pit Bull BMW S1000RR, KWS built motor

Well last year Charlie V. decided he wanted to go 200mph after Falkner/Livingston let him ride a ZX12 at Bonneville in August 2009. We decided to take a shot at it on the BMW S1000RR since it was such an impressive platform to begin with. KWS Motorsports offered to build the motor for us so we ordered the bike and let them get to work on it. It arrived back at our shop today where Charlie V is going to put a little more work into it before leaving for Bonneville next Thursday. Below are some pics...I'll update his speed numbers on our Facebook page as they are relayed to me next week.

 

Damn, that's like flashing the Bat Signal to Cattitori!

Beautiful bike.

 

That thing is frigging ridiculously beautiful! Great paint, great detail work. Cant wait to see the speed numbers!

 

Lovely!

 

Stock exhaust?

 

Very nice! Can't wait to see how she does!

 

Loose the fork reflectors, thats gotta be worth 1/2 a mph.....Good luck the bike looks great!!!

 

What did you do about the electronic speed restriction on the bike?

Nice. Let us know how it goes George.

BTW - make the Pit Bull bigger. :up:

 

The bike is limited to 186 mph with final gearing and not with electronics.

 

Haha., that is what my UK Team owner told me last week after running my TT2011 bike in last week, he rang me GIGGLING like a little girl.:up:

 

What kind of motor work was done to the bike? Are you guys going to run it with the stock bodywork as is?

 

Nice paint job. Can Charlie hold on at 200mph?

 

I'm no pitbull rep, but I'm pretty sure the class they are running restricts the bike to "looking" stock. George can clear it up.

 

Russ is right...The bike has to appear stock, including the exhaust. The motor has had some work done...lets just say there are some prototype parts inside this motor. I guess it's hard not to have some "firsts" on a bike that's been out less than a year. Charlie had better hang on at 200...I have a photoshoot scheduled for when he gets back. I don't want any scratches on it

 

We intended on a larger Pit Bull but that one's just going to have to do for now. You won't be able to see it at 200 anyway

 

Hopefully Charlie doesn't test the stuff we sent...

The bike looks sweet and all of us here wish him luck!

Van

 

Good luck guys, yes bigger pitbull for sure.

 

Scott Moore at Fast Finish did a great job on the paint!!!! :up:
