Interestingly, BMW’s Motorrad division has existed for longer than its M7 Performance division, but the two have never collaborated on a performance motorcycle, or at least the latter has never lent its name to the former. The new BMW M1000RR is clearly an extension of the already more powerful S1000RR. The homologation special car basically doesn’t exist anymore, but in the world of bikes it is still running strong, that’s why this bike exists.
A few weeks ago Motor Works unveiled a set of Carbon Fiber M Performance Parts for the S1000 RR that plotted to reduce the weight of the bike by seven pounds (and reduce the weight of your wallet by $ 3700). It seems that the ultimate goal of the company here was to secure the World Superbike Championship with this homogeneous special, as all the m-development partsThe chisels in the new M1000 RR needed to be replaced on a change to the WSBK version. we The relatively low price of the bike explains the tag tag (in the UK, 30,935) as it will match the prices of that range. This is a lot of crying from the old days BMW’s $ 100,000 HP4 Race version.
In addition to the lightweight carbon bits, the M1000 RR also adds an acropovic exhaust and removes other external bits to reduce the weight of the bike, down to 423 pounds. The bike’s inline for engine has been severely improved with a lighter piston and titanium connecting rod, which pumps the output 212 horsepower (205 above the “regular” S1000 RR) and increases the engine’s redline to 15,100 rpm.
Add to M-Developed Brake Package, Carbon Fiber Downforce Inspired Winglet Add-ons, Improved and Reduced Suspension, Two Adjustable Throttle Turns, Five Riding Modes, Launch Launch Control, Dynamic Traction Control, Hill-Start Control , And a 6.5-inch TFT display and you start to see why this bike is so expensive. It runs an impressive lap time, no doubt.

And if you thought this would be BMW’s only M bike, you would be a fool. The company is known for sticking to the M badge and has three color levers on each vehicle in their range Now that strategy is spreading in its bike segment. Following the M1000RR, you can expect the “Touring-enabled Sport Bike” the M1000XR and the full Touring M1300GS.
