The new vehicle from BMW’s M segment is a $ 40,000 race-ready motorcycle

Interestingly, BMW’s motorcycle division has been around longer than its M \ performance division, but the two have never collaborated on a performance motorcycle before. Or at least the latter has not yet tilted its name to the former. The new BMW M1000RR is an extension of the already powerful S1000RR. Homologation is no longer based on special cars, but in the world of bikes it still runs strong, which is why this bike exists.

A few weeks ago Motor Works released the Carbon Fiber M performance parts for the S1000RR, which conspired to reduce the weight of the bike by seven pounds (and reduce the weight of your wallet by $ 3700). With all the M-developed parts complete, it seems that the ultimate goal of the company here is to win the World Superbike Championship with this homologation specialConnected to the new M 1000 RR to change the WSBK version unchanged. this too Explains the relatively low price index of the bike (in the UK, 9 30,935) because it must match the price cap of that series. It is far from the old days BMW’s, 000 100,000 HP4 Race version.

In addition to the lightweight carbon bits, the M1000RR also adds an acrobatic exhaust and removes other outdoor bits to reduce the bike’s weight by an additional four pounds to 423 pounds. The bike’s inline is radically replaced with four – engine lighter pistons and titanium connecting rods, delivering output up to 212 horsepower (from 205 on the “regular” S1000RR) and increasing the engine’s retline to 15,100rpm.

Add to the M-developed brake package, carbon fiber downforce-induced winglet plug-ins, modified and reduced suspension, two adjustable throttle curves, five ride modes, release control, dynamic traction control, hill-start control, ditch range and 5-way, On display, you begin to see why this bike is so expensive. It enables an interesting fold time, no doubt.

If you think this is BMW’s only M bike, you’re having fun. The company is known for pasting an M badge and three color distributions on their range in each vehicle Now it is spreading that strategy to its bike division. Following the M 1000 RR, you can expect a “touring sports bike” M 1000 XR and a full tour M 1300 GS.
