Motorcycle enthusiast Bob Chacha proudly owns one of the two BMW S1000 RR bikes in Kenya, a top-tier machine known for its advanced technology and high performance. Released in 2021, this German-engineered bike comes with a price tag of Sh4.3 million.
Key features of the BMW S1000 RR include:
- Performance: The bike can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds. It offers several driving modes, including race mode for maximum speed, rain mode for enhanced rain performance, and road mode for everyday use.
- Comfort and Speed: Bob Chacha highlighted that the bike is not only extremely comfortable but also capable of achieving speeds that surpass those of a plane on the ground.
Bob Chacha has plans to further enhance his motorcycle by:
- Upgrading Components: He intends to replace the stock exhaust and fairings with high-quality aftermarket carbon fiber parts. The carbon fiber components will not only improve the bike’s aesthetic appeal with a sleek look but also reduce its overall weight, thereby enhancing performance and handling.
- Installing Upgraded Brakes: To improve safety and responsiveness, he aims to install better brakes.
Bob advises potential buyers of high-end motorcycles to purchase within their budget, as maintenance for super bikes can be costly and requires professional mechanics.
