Riders can take their bike to the track and also test ride the BMW S 1000 RR and other BMW models at the 2016 RR Experience ride days in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.

BMW Motorrad Australia general manager Andreas Lundgren says it is a “fantastic opportunity” for riders to test the S 1000 R, S 1000 XR, K 1300 S, R 1200 GS and R 1200 RS on famous tracks.

RR Experience staff will lead each session, while VIP guests including Isle of Man TT racer Cameron Donald will be on hand to answer questions and offer tips.

The RR Experience test ride costs $89 ($59 in Queensland) for one 15-minute session. This also includes product demonstrations, VIP guest appearances, an event t-shirt and light refreshments.

Cost for the track day which consists of four 15-minute sessions is $245 and $195 in Queensland.

Riders don’t have to own a BMW motorcycle to attend the track days.

They can choose to ride in the Level 1 group for first-time track riders and less-experienced riders or Level 2 for more confident riders who may have completed a track day before.

Riders will be provided with a garage space, product demonstrations, an event t-shirt and light refreshments throughout the day.

Places are limited with only 35 spots in each group.

The RR Experience team will circulate on track during each session, observing and providing assistance.

Bookings at bmwmotorrad.com.au/rrexperience are now open for Sydney and Melbourne, but the Brisbane bookings don’t open until March 31.
