BMW Motorrad has launched the M 1000 RR sports bike in India. Brought in as a completely built unit, the motorcycle can be pre booked at the authorised dealerships. Deliveries are scheduled to commence from November 2023. THe price of the bike is set at INR 49,00,000 while the Competition version will cost buyers INR 55,00,000 (ex-showroom).
BMW is offering two options on the M 1000 RR. The regular variant comes with a Light White / M Motorsport paint shade while the Competition is offered with Blackstorm metallic / M Motorsport.
The 2023 M 1000 RR gets a new lightweight carbon fibre fairing. It gets M Design tapes as well. There is an aluminium bridge frame for the chassis. The track ready bike features an upside-down fork and s central suspension strut with Full Floater Pro kinematics.
Aerodynamics play a significant role in racing – more so for a bike with a narrow profile. The new bits have improved the bike’s top speed by 8 km/h, which might not seem like much, but it now has a top speed of 313.98 km/h, which could be the difference in coming in the first and second position. This has been possible thanks to a new carbon fibre fairing with a taller screen, carbon fibre brackets, and redesigned carbon fibre winglets. Another advantage of this screen is that it will shelter the rider, reducing fatigue.
These wings can offer an increased downforce of up to 6.3 kg at 300 km/h. It will help the riders on straights as well as corners.
Based on the S1000RR, the M version is the bike that gets modified for the World Superbike Series and the British Superbike Championship. These get a revised 4-cylinder engine that puts out 209.2 BHP. The bike also gets forged pistons, CNC machined intake ports, variable valve timing (ShiftCam) and other bits.
