Munich/Pforzheim. With a total of eight podium
positions in the categories "Sport", "Naked",
"Enduro" and "Allrounder", BMW Motorrad achieved
an excellent result in the readers' vote for the "Best Sports
Motorcycles 2014" run by sports motorcycle magazine PS. Readers
voted for the BMW HP4 as the "Best Sports Motorcycle over 750
cc". In the brand ranking, BMW Motorrad achieved an outstanding
second place.
The BMW HP4 and the S 1000 RR were placed in a superb first and
third place respectively in the category "Best Sports
Motorcycle over 750 cc". PS readers thereby recognised
these two models' outstanding combination of 4-cylinder performance,
Race ABS and Dynamic Traction Control DTC as well as the semiactive
suspension technology Dynamic Damping Control DDC for
supersports-oriented riding dynamics. The HP4 also finished second in
the generic category "Best Sports Motorcycle".
Represented in this vote for the first time, the BMW
Motorrad models S 1000 R and R nineT achieved further podium positions
of second and third respectively in the category "Best
Naked Bike". By voting the S 1000 R into second place,
participating PS readers showed their appreciation of this model's
consistent design as a sporty roadster with the very highest level of
driving dynamics. The third place for the R nineT reflects the high
level of popularity obtained by the bike's synthesis of classic
design, painstakingly detailed workmanship and cutting-edge technology
among the sports-oriented readership.
The new BMW R 1200 GS finished second in the category
"Best Enduro/Supermoto", while the
well-established K 1300 S demonstrated its qualities as a
long-distance sports machine in the "Best Sports Allrounder".
BMW Motorrad achieved an outstanding second place in the ranking
"Best Motorcycle Brand".
Stephan Schaller, Head of BMW Motorrad, on the results of the
readers' vote:
"I am glad to see that our motorcycles -
especially the R nineT - have achieved such a high level of popularity
among a group of readers oriented especially towards sports machines.
I should like to thank PS readers most sincerely for their support. I
am particularly happy to see that our top models HP4 and
S 1000
RR once again performed impressively in the "Sport" category
with their innovative technologies."
