     following is a list of new mechanical and performance features added on by BMW for the new 2012 s1000rr.

    Optimized torque curve for improved rid ability.

    Expansion from two to three performance curves (one each for Rain and Sport modes and an additional one for Race and Slick modes); Rain mode now has 163 hp.

    Reconfigured throttle for enhanced response (particularly gentle and sensitive acceleration in Rain mode, and immediately direct and spontaneous response in Sport, Race, and Slick modes).

    Less twisting force then the previous version and a better twist grip angle.

    Less secondary ratio for boosted thrust.

    Tuned ABS and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC).

    Enlarged cross sectional area of the intake air guide through the steering head for greater air flow efficiency.

    Better handling, steering accuracy, and feedback.

    Revised spring elements for wider range of damping forces.

    Suspension geometry modified with new values for the steering head angle, offset, position of the swing arm pivot, fork projection, and spring strut length.

    New mechanical steering damper adjustable over ten levels.

    Forged and milled fork bridge in a new design and with a smaller offset.
