Twice as Much Thunder in Canada

Press Release April 18, 2008

It’s not just the BMW Motorrad Motorsport factory team that is taking to the track in search of podium glory this year. All over the world, BMW Motorrad-supported teams are campaigning BMW sports-twins and sports-boxer machines in search of championship glory, with representation in various national and regional championships in several countries including the USA, South Africa and Canada.

In fact, Canadian BMW fans really have something to cheer about in 2008 because the Canadian Thunder national championship for big twin motorcycles has undergone major changes for the 2008 season, which allows both HP2 Sport and F 800 riders to participate.

The series, which runs as a support division in the Parts Canada Superbike Championship, is now divided into a two-tier category. A new class, titled ‘Canadian Thunder’, is open to a host of new cutting-edge sports machines, such as the HP2 Sport, while the F 800 S will now be eligible for a secondary division called ‘Canadian Sport Twins’ (CST). The new Canadian Thunder class will see the BMW HP2 Sport line up alongside rivals such as the Buell 1125R, Ducati 848 and KTM 990 Super Duke, while the CST will pit the F 800 S against machines such as the Buell XB-9R and XB-12R, and the Ducati Paul Smart 1000 replica.

The new class structure is very similar to the top two classes of the SunTrust MOTO-ST endurance series in the United States. The two divisions will race together at each Parts Canada Superbike round, using a two-wave start. There will be separate podiums for the two classes after each race and separate point standings, with number one plates awarded to both the Canadian Thunder and CST champion at season's end.

Two-time Canadian Superbike Champion Michael Taylor of Toronto won last year's Canadian Thunder title for BMW Motorrad Canada, riding an R 1200 S. This year the
BMW Motorrad Canada Thunder Team will see the 2007 National Amateur 600cc Sport Bike Championship winner Paul Glenn join Mike Ferreira on the BMW HP2 Sport. The HP2 Sport is the fastest and most powerful boxer ever to be introduced by BMW Motorrad and is the same motorcycle that was competing in the World Endurance Championship last season.

Lower Seat Height Options for 2008 BMW Motorcycles


Press Release: November 29, 2007  Munich.

In 2008 BMW height of selected motorcycle models by up to 55 mm (depending on the model) with a package of various measures. This lowering package will be available as an optional extra and is installed ex-works. Depending on their body height, less experienced motorcyclists and restarters often only feel safe when stationary on their bike if both feet reach to the ground. The company offers the new lowering measures for such customers.

The measures will be introduced successively. The offer of lowering ex-works is as follows:

MODEL Seat Height with lowering as optional Extra lowest seat height to date
R1200R 750mm 770 mm
R 1200 GS 790 mm 820 mm
R 1200 RT 750mm 780 mm
F800 S/ST 760 mm 815 mm

The basis for the extended seat height reduction in all models is a lowered chassis. This has already been available for the F800 S/ST since spring 2007. Together with the existing low seats, this achieves a further seat height reduction as compared to previously. For the R1200 R and R1200 RT this low seat height has also been optimized. It continues to be available for all motorcycles separately, without the lowered chassis. The lowered chassis cannot be ordered in conjunction with the special equipment option “ESA”.
