THE MOST ADVANCED SUPERSPORTS MACHINE ON THE MARKET – NOW ENHANCED FOR ULTRA DYNAMIC TRACK & ROAD PERFORMANCE.

With an aluminium bridge, radial brakes, a super sporty tail-up nose-down design, hot colours and the ultimate combination of electronic rider assistance systems: The first Race ABS, including features such as four modes, two for the road and two others – Race and Slick – for sportier riding on the race track, a banking rotation speed, gear-related Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) which allows slip. Never before was it so easy to keep so much power under control.

This is just as true on public roads as it is down on the racetrack. The RR label shows that it is a full-blooded racing bike, even though it can also be ridden with a number plate attached. To top it all off is an engine which is our absolute pride and joy. And our worlwide motorsports teams agree wholeheartedly.

The RR label shows that it is a full-blooded racing bike, even though it can also be ridden on the most winding of mountain passes, or narrowest of urban streets. To top it all off is an engine which is our absolute pride and joy. And our worldwide motorsports teams agree wholeheartedly.

As standard on the RR Sport model is the first ever Race ABS, including features such as four modes, two for the road and two others – Race and Slick – for sportier riding on the race track, a banking rotation speed, and gear-related Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) which allows slip.
