 While maintaining all the dynamic qualities and leading performance of the S 1000 RR, Praem book in a decidedly vintage performance but also very racing. The exterior is completely revised in this sense: asymmetrical fork head in the mind of machines that were prepared for 8h of Suzuka, original aluminum tank lengthened and of course a typical casing of that time with the battery directly accessible. Many changes have been made, in a nod to the world of competition: fill valve and quick couplings Staubli, carbon wheels Rotobox equipped with carbon ceramic discs, radiator-type endurance, slick tires or adjustable remote controls of the BMW Motorrad HP range. The titanium exhaust system emits a particularly angry with his silent Werks USA. Of course, the essence of the project with a strong scent of competition, the S 1000 RR retains its technology. Its performance is even up through the exhaust system and a specific mapping but also to the overall relief on the chassis: carbon wheels, aluminum subframe and titanium screws. Indeed, the weight of the S 1000 RR already very original content, is thus further reduced to only 184 kg fully fueled a gain of about 20kg on the scales to Praem this release.
Produced in collaboration with Derestricted, the design of the painting is also a modern reinterpretation, with a satin finish, aesthetic codes of competition vehicles from 70/80. It is also a nod to the BMW Art Car by Alexander Calder at the chosen colors.

Frederic Stik, Managing Director of BMW Motorrad France: "I am very impressed by the work of Sylvain and Florent in Praem. It's the perfect bike I would have liked at the age when I started to ride a motorcycle. Sylvain and Florent knew perfectly imagine what would have been the best bike racing 80s with the best of today's technology and transform the S 1000 RR race machine this time. Especially since, by its performance, this bike has its place in today's circuits.

It is a beautiful tribute first of all BMW Motorrad DNA that has always been very active in competition: tourist trophy, speed records, side cars, Paris Dakar, Superbike and Endurance. Then I think the S 1000 RR Custom Project is a true new proposal in the world of customization. "

Sylvain Berneron, Praem: "This new project Praem makes me work again on a BMW and I am very proud. In this kind of approach, it is really important to work freely creatively. Once the outline of the motorcycle defined, Florent and I were very free to explore a new direction with the racing 80s while using an ultra modern base.
The philosophy is to use Praem legendary motorcycles bases. The BMW S 1000 RR in part in my opinion. It is extraordinary that BMW has managed to do with a powerful engine but perfectly tamed by electronics and some hyper sharpened cycle.
We tried to keep the maximum board technology: DTC traction control, suspension driven DDC, Race ABS, launch control ... while taking the S 1000 RR in another aesthetic universe .... "
