The BMW S 1000 RR is one of the best superbikes on the market. However, its design isn’t exactly mass-appealing and there’s a divided opinion about it. But what if we told you there’s a way to make things radical as ever? Allow us to introduce the AirForce body kit project by designer Alexey Blinkov. Remember, though, this is yet to become a reality and go on sale, but regardless, has a lot of potential as you’re about to find out.

Inspired by Formula 1 cars and sharks, the AirForce body kit focuses on enhancing the aerodynamic prowess of the S 1000 RR. How, you ask? Well, reshaping everything from the head to toe.

Up top, gone is the twin headlight fascia and in comes a heavily radicalized setup. The new fascia boasts a sleek headlight below the air intake and gets aerodynamic winglets for company. Like the winglets, the side fairings focus on aerodynamics too and feature indents to achieve utmost efficiency for slicing through the air.

At the opposite end, an edgy tailpiece replaces the S 1000 RR’s OEM tail. The unit has an uncanny resemblance to the Ducati Panigale V4, albeit with a sharper design, and also houses the new tail lamp. This makes it a big step up from the S 1000 RR’s stock setup that looks rather…well, boring.

Other notable details include redesigned body panels under the seat and a wind deflector near the rear wheel, both focusing on aerodynamics just like everything else. The latter helps keep the rear tire cool by redirecting the air, similar to what we see on MotoGP bikes.

Bodywork aside, the kit keeps everything as it is on the inside. In case you’re unaware, the S 1000 RR squeezes out 207 horsepower and 113Nm from its 999cc, four-cylinder mill. The engine packs BMW’s ShiftCam tech, which spreads the power evenly throughout the rev range.

Additionally, the motorcycle features a vast electronics suite, including engine braking control, cornering ABS, traction control, launch control, and wheelie control, all accessible via its crisp TFT instrument cluster.

Even though the body kit isn’t a reality, it looks more than capable of improving the S 1000 RR’s aerodynamics. Plus, since this comes with the necessary lights, it would be road-legal too, unlike most aftermarket body kits. Now, all that remains is for someone to bring this to reality and make some bucks on it.
