BMW would need to design a cross-plane I4 or V4 to compete in MotoGP which would be quite expensive. The flat-plane engines are all gone from that series for this reason; constant powerstokes do not give the rear tire recovery time between pulses.

[MK]

Same reason why Kawasaki left MotoGp. Too much money for advertising their brand.

[brixsteezy]

Sad to see kawasaki and susuki leave motogp, as companies slowly lose their interest in motogp we might lose the era of factory bike technologies being integrated into production bikes as motogp is basically a testing ground for tech.

[patrickj]

Moto GP, starting to look like a Ducati spec series nothing against Ducati I own one myself and love the brand it would be nice to see other manufactures compete

[Heavywall]

If motogp doesn’t make themselves more marketable to manufacturers it will be a Ducati spec series in a matter of minutes. WSBK is far more interesting at present.

[wetleyrocks]

UK based opinion. The best thing BMW did with the S1000RR is to give it heated grips
It doesn't matter what race results are if you're bloody cold riding the replicas

[StoffelDilligas]

They made a MotoGP bike when four strokes 990 came to the circuits. It didn't make it to the races, but it was a serious effort. It was covered by MCN and showed Jeremy McWilliams as test rider. And if memory serves me correctly the drive chain was on the right side of the bike. And when I say right side, I mean right, not the correct side (left)

BMW is also well known for changing policy in racing as quickly as we change our underpants, with no long term stability nor commitment. Look their involvement in F1; didn't even make it to a decade as both engine supplier and full factory effort. Their WSBK effort is no different; at first as factory team, then left it to customer teams to race before coming back again in recent years as full factory effort.

It's all in the priorities and DNA. KTM and Aprilia are relatively smaller and less luxurious manufacturers than BMW, yet they make racing their top priority not only to sell bikes but also as their R&D. They are ready to go barren with no titles as racing is their DNA. BMW didn't have a strong racing DNA as other manufacturers.

its more fun on Isle of Man TT. they just won using M1000

[KelsB]

Man the s1000rr is a must have in your life.

[petrpanthr]

liked, subbed. i dont be bell ringin for everybody though. but i did for this mug. good job, man. i hope you make a bunch so i can learn a lot!

Just like in F1, not every manufacturer will benefit from the publicity hype of having the championship winning machine. There are certain brand that need that recognition, because that is what they hang their hat on- performance. Brands like Toyota would like to win a championship, but ultimately their brand is about technological improvements that F1 has nothing to do with- like backup camera systems, blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, etc. That's where they put their R&D money. Ducati, KTM, MV Agusta, and Aprilia are the brands that need MotoGP championships. Honda is a juggernaut in the motorcycle industry, their market share is so huge they can afford to put a strong effort into MotoGP- yet they still really don't. BMW is kind of in the middle, and Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki are invested heavily in many other segments of motorcycling. Their focus will never be on just the sport bike side of things. WSBK is just a better option if you ask me. Taking a stock bike and modifying it with newer technology that will actually trickle down to the market is a far better gameplan than unobtainable super machines that are designed for one purpose- to go really fast on a purpose built closed circuit.

[straight-adhi]

To me BMW s1000rr is a masterpiece, so beautiful and so savage.

[thegreyzone]

Wade998 You couldn’t be any more wrong. The reason a cross plane crank does so well is because of the LACK of pulses! There is always one piston firing so this cuts down on inertial torque and helps maintain grip.

[laporpomatakungsi]

we need streetGP. like malaysian cubprix but more agressive and serious modification upto 250cc

[carlosserafim]

aprillia entered the WSB in the same year as BMW, after 3 years Max Biaggio won the WSBK championship

[ArranD]

They're no where near the top in WSBK so why even consider going near MotoGP? They are however quite successful in the road racing scene

[ereHeuqibmazoM]

Is there ever an event for Isle of Man for regular people to race its’ course? Always been a dream

[il-ma.le.]

Some Mr. Helmet guy talked about the 'winter miracle' every year, during tests the bike is a beast, then it comfortably sits at 7th place at best during the proper season. According to the theory, you can thank Shawn Muir for this, who has a big mouth and (supposedly)does all the boring work that repersents the mothership, and that just accidentally could make the bike work.
Because it has already been said they care only about selling GSs, but reamins the fact that their bike has been competitive enough in STK classes(reason for the Motorrad Italia do pass in SBK in the first place) and local SBK championships(FHO using it, apparently with victories under the belt in just 2 years).
It also means they're not taking the bike motorsport seriously.

THATS ME IN 1:16 WITH ALEIX ESPARGARO!!!
