Go Rogue: The Bike From "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation"

One of this summer's hottest action flicks is - you guessed it - also a fine display of hot biking action. Tom Cruise stars in "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation," but his blacked-out BMW S1000RR superbike really steals the show.

Code named "K46", these sleek beasts are made by BMW Motorrad and powered by a 999cc, inline-4 engine that redlines at 14,200 rpm. The S1000RR comes in two models: factory race and production. The prime differences between the commercially sold production bike and the factory model are juiced engine compression ratio (14.0:1 vs. the production's 13.0:1), raw horsepower (200 hp at 14,000 rpm vs. 193 hp at 13,000 rpm), net weight (162 kg vs. 207.7 kg), and finally its wheel forks (44mm Öhlins for the racer, compared with a 46mm ZF Sachs).

The S1000RR also starred in the famous 2010 BMW promo-gone-viral, "Dinner for RR," aka "The oldest trick in the world." In it, K46 supposed pulled a tablecloth clean out from under a properly set dinner table from a dead stop.

While it has been proven to use a dose of video magic, it does go to show that the raw torque that comes standard in this powerhouse was evident long before Mr. Cruise took it for a spin.
