Zie Germans must be feeling rather pleases with themselves right now (and rightfully so), as BMW has released more details about its all-time motorcycle sales record. Pushing out 104,286 units in 2011, BMW Motorrad was up 6.4% in 2011 over 2010, with each of the 2011's twelve months outselling its 2010 counterpart. Toppling its previous sales record from 2007 (the height of the world economy), it says something about BMW's current business strategy that it can best that figure in an economy that is still exceedingly weak in comparison.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/bmw-motorrad-sales-dunkfest/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>15</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>S1000RR Still BMW&#8217;s Top-Selling Bike in the USA</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/bmw-s1000rr-top-selling-motorcycle-usa/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/bmw-s1000rr-top-selling-motorcycle-usa/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 13 Jan 2012 23:33:01 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2012 BMW S1000RR]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BMW]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BMW Motorrad]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BMW Motorrad USA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BMW S1000RR]]></category> <category><![CDATA[branding]]></category> <category><![CDATA[demand generation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[economy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[growth]]></category> <category><![CDATA[marketing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[North America]]></category> <category><![CDATA[S1000RR]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sales]]></category> <category><![CDATA[USA]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=27482</guid> <description><![CDATA[BMW Motorrad crushed it last year by posting its best sales year ever, and finishing in sales 6.4% over 2010. With the United States being one of BMW's largest motorcycle markets, it comes as no surprise then that the German brand posted strong sales here in the US. Up 7.4% over last year, BMW Motorrad USA continues to weather the rough economy for the Bavarians, which is perhaps unsurprising considering how zie Germans have faired the past few years. What is surprising though is which model topped BMW's sales sheets, and in case you are blind and didn't see this story's headline, it was not the venerable GS.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/bmw-s1000rr-top-selling-motorcycle-usa/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>7</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Colin Edwards Makes CRT Debut at Jerez</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/colin-edwards-crt-debut-jerez/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/colin-edwards-crt-debut-jerez/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 25 Nov 2011 23:46:26 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BMW]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BMW S1000RR]]></category> <category><![CDATA[claiming rule team]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Colin Edwards]]></category> <category><![CDATA[CRT]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jerez]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jerez Test]]></category> <category><![CDATA[lap times]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NGM Forward Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spain]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Suter]]></category> <category><![CDATA[test]]></category> <category><![CDATA[test results]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=26607</guid> <description><![CDATA[Many in the MotoGP paddock have been waiting to cast their verdict on the CRT endeavor, withholding their judgments until a top GP rider took to the helm of a CRT machine and properly put the bike through its paces. With tests earlier in the year showing Mika Kallio on-board the BMW/Suter to be over six seconds off the pace of the 800cc-era machines, the CRT future of MotoGP looked to be in jeopardy. Those lap times improved over the year to be "only" four seconds off that 1,000-era bike pace, showing improvement, yet a gap  to the front-runners. Now with Edwards finally swinging a leg over the BMW S1000RR-powered Suter prototype, surely more comparisons between the factory prototypes and CRT offerings are to ensue.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/colin-edwards-crt-debut-jerez/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>5</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Video: 2012 BMW S1000RR</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/2012-bmw-s1000rr-video/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/2012-bmw-s1000rr-video/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 21 Oct 2011 13:12:04 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2012 BMW S1000RR]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BMW]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BMW S1000RR]]></category> <category><![CDATA[buyer demographic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[buyers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[class]]></category> <category><![CDATA[demographic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[liter bike]]></category> <category><![CDATA[segment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[video]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=25832</guid> <description><![CDATA[BMW is taking a cue from Honda and Yamaha this next model year, as the German company is making only revisions from the original design for the 2012 BMW S1000RR.

We've seen the answer debated countless times on internet forums to no avail, and it seems at some point every publication in both the two-wheeled and four-wheeled realms tackles this issue in their own way. BMW recently took up the challenge to see which was faster, and the answer was painfully simple: the BMW...we jest. Here's the setup though, two of BMW's fastest machines, a BMW M3 &#038; BMW S1000RR, start at opposite ends of an unknown course. There is a kicker though: part-way through, it starts raining.
