BMW Motorrad's R 1300 R Superhooligan breaks cover
BMW Motorrad just revealed the R 1300 R Superhooligan—a custom bike built to celebrate Steve McLaughlin's legendary Daytona win back in 1976.
Unveiled during the iconic Daytona 200 weekend, this ride is based on the standard R 1300 R but gets a serious performance and style boost.
The bike features a Wilbers adjustable fork
This tribute bike rocks the classic number '83' and vintage racing colors, nodding to Reg Pridmore's AMA Superbike days.
It's packed with upgrades: an adjustable Wilbers fork for extra lean angle, M1000 RR carbon front wheel and calipers, Ilmberger carbon parts, Akrapovic titanium exhaust with a carbon silencer, and some slick milled footrests.
It will be showcased alongside some classic BMW motorcycles
Under the hood is a 1,300cc boxer-twin engine pushing out 145hp—good for up to 275km/h.
Racer Nate Kern will take it to the track in the Mission Foods Super Hooligan series (March 5-7).
If you're at Daytona, you'll also spot it alongside restored BMW classics from back in the day.
