Picture this S 1000 XR in your garage
THIS VERY SPECIAL 2016 BMW S 1000 XR CUSTOM-
ized by Twisted Throttle was built to challenge Pikes Peak during the annual Broadmoor Pikes Peak International invitational automobile and motorcycle hill climb last June. The race takes place each year on a 12.42-mile section of
the Pikes Peak Highway, featuring 156 turns where com- petitors climb from the 9,390-foot starting line at Mile Marker 7 to the 14,115-foot finish line at the mountain’s summit. Part of what makes the race great is that as the drivers climb toward the summit, the thin air slows reflexes and saps mental and muscle strength in addition to robbing internal combustion engines of up to 30 percent of the power they started the race with. Unfortunately, fans never got the chance to see the
Twisted Throttle Pikes Peak Special S 1000 XR in action, as the entry didn’t move high enough on the waitlist to get the chance to tackle the mountain. As it is set up, the bike is ready to tackle any mountain or
road out there, and it is fully accessorized with SW- MOTECH gear including Kobra handguards with turn sig- nals and a Quick-Lock EVO City tank bag. To carry gear, there’s a DrySpec D78 luggage set. For protection there’s a long list of R&G goodies including engine case and clutch covers, frame sliders and fork protectors, oil cooler and radiator protection, a special exhaust hanger, and even a kickstand shoe. Though it never got the chance to become the King of
Pikes Peak, the Twisted Throttle Pikes Peak Special S 1000 XR could be yours with your entry into the latest BMW MOA Foundation raffle. Tickets for the raffle go on sale August 1, 2016, and will be available through September 30, 2016.

MOA Foundation and continued rider education and safety. Visit
