BMW S 1000 RR pulls off the old tablecloth trick - Click above to watch the video after the break (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/05/video-bmw-s-1000-rr-pulls-off-the-old-tablecloth-trick/#continued)
Ah yes, the good ol' pull-the-tablecloth-off-the-table-without-sending-dishes-flying routine. The oldest trick in the book? Possibly, but BMW (http://autoblog.com/make/bmw) has taken it upon themselves to update the classic demonstration in a major way. How 'bout upping the ante with 24 complete place settings around a giant rectangular table? Yeah, that'd do it.
Just how is BMW planning to remove said tablecloth? Using a new S 1000 RR (http://autoblog.com/tag/bmws1000rr) superbike, that's how. Will it work? Well, it's really a question of physics, right? Take 193 horsepower and a 0 to 60 time that's just shy of 2.9 seconds. Add in one rider with a quick set of wrists and shake well. Garnish with celebratory wheelie.
We highly recommend that you click past the break (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/05/video-bmw-s-1000-rr-pulls-off-the-old-tablecloth-trick/#continued) to see it all go down on video. It's very much worth your time.
