Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials: Four world records for the BMW S 1000 RR.

The Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials in the vast salt flats in the north of the US state of Utah are always a highlight for speed demons. This year, the BMW S 1000 RR set four world records and one national record there – all of which were set by Hunter Sills Racing. In various categories, Erin Sills (USA) and Trev Richter (USA) set new records of up to 238.398 mph (383.664 km/h) with the RR, and the team also picked up the awards for ‘Top Time of the Meet’ and ‘Fastest Naturally Aspirated Motorcycle’. Sills and Richter also set new records with a BMW motorcycle powered by nitrous and affectionately named ‘Snoopy’. The engines of the record-breaking motorcycles are the BMW S 1000 RR engines from the 2013 season of the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK), which in line with the regulations are some of the most powerful BMW Superbike engines ever built. Hunter Sills Racing used the powerful former WorldSBK engines of BMW Motorrad Motorsport as a basis and modified them partially to be injected with nitrous.
