Why do we offer the M 1000 RR as well as the S 1000 RR?

The BMW M RR is the superbike homologated for racing. It was perfected in the wind tunnel and further developed on the circuit.
With the further development of the BMW M 1000 RR – M RR for short – BMW Motorrad is setting a new milestone in the field of superbikes homologated for racing. Most racing series worldwide are based on the FIM Superstock regulations. These stipulate that the homologated base vehicle must have a list price below EUR 34,500.00 gross (DE) and that only very few starting points for performance-enhancing measures are permitted.

WorldSBK also requires that 500 units of the homologation model (over two years) be produced.

The M RR is manufactured in the required quantities and already has all the essential extras for motorsport homologation within the specified price range, which may no longer be subsequently modified.

The new M RR (2023 model year) uses the familiar water-cooled four-cylinder in-line engine designed for racing purposes, especially the Superbike World Championship. As before, its peak output is 156 kW (212 hp) at 14,500 rpm. As before, the chassis of the new M RR relies on the aluminium bridge frame as its centrepiece, supplemented by an upside-down fork and central spring strut with Full Floater Pro kinematics. The new M 1000 RR is offered in two versions: As M RR basic version in the basic colour Light White uni and as M RR M Competition in the basic colour Blackstorm metallic.

The S 1000 RR is not uncompromisingly geared towards homologation for the racing series.
