 The new BMW M RR: Pure racing technology for the highest performance requirements in motor sports and on the road.

With the new BMW M 1000 RR - in the following referred to as M RR in short - the first M model from BMW Motorrad based on the S 1000 RR (RR for short) is now celebrating its world premiere.

The highlights of the new BMW M 1000 RR.

• M RR four-cylinder engine based on the RR engine for racing sport. Even more peak power, higher torque in the medium range and 500 rpm more maximum speed.

• 156 kW output at 14 500 rpm and thus 4 kW more than in the RR. Maximum torque of 113 Nm at 11 000 rpm.

• New 2-ring forged piston 12 g lighter, adapted combustion chamber and compression increased to 13.5. In addition, slimmer and lighter rocker arms.

• Fully machined intake ports with new duct geometry and BMW ShiftCam technology for varying the valve control time and valve lift.

• Titanium valves, on the exhaust side with new spring assembly, slimmer and 6 % lighter rocker arms and optimized camshafts.

• Very light, compact engine block with longer and 85 g lighter titanium connecting rods from Pankl for reduced friction power and less weight.

• Anti-hopping clutch without self-reinforcing for optimum Launch Control.

• Optimized differentiated intake system with shorter intake funnels for optimized gas exchange at high rotational speeds.

• New, 3,657 g lighter exhaust system with exhaust manifold, front silencer and rear silencer made of titanium.

• M winglets and high windscreen: Braking later and accelerating earlier and more stability when cornering thanks to the aerodynamic downforce without any reduction in maximum speed.

• “Rain”, “Road”, “Dynamic”, “Race”“ and “Race Pro1-3” riding modes and the latest generation of the Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and DTC wheelie function with 6-axle sensor box.

• Two adjustable characteristic throttle curves for optimum response characteristics. Engine brake with threefold adjustable engine drag torque in “Race Pro” mode.

• Shift assistant Pro for shifting gears up and down without clutch. Simple reversibility of the shift pattern for race track use.

• Launch Control for perfect race starts and Pit-Lane-Limiter for precise speed in the pit lane.

• Hill Start Control Pro for convenient starting on slopes.

• Chassis design trimmed for race track use with modified geometry, optimized wheel load distribution and extended adjustability of the swinging arm pivot point.

• Optimized upside-down fork and revised central spring strut with Full Floater Pro kinematics.

• M brakes for the first time at BMW Motorrad: The M RR with maximum braking performance for the race track.

• M carbon wheels: Classy high-tech components for maximum performance on race track and road.

• Instrument cluster with large, perfectly readable 6.5-inch TFT display, starting animation with M logo and OBD interface that can be used with activation code for the M GPS data logger and M GPS laptrigger.

• Lightweight M battery, USB charging socket in the rear, powerful LED interior light units, electronic adaptive cruise control and heated grips.

• M design and dynamic form language indicate ultimate race track performance.

• M competition package with M GPS laptrigger and activation code, M milled parts package, M carbon package, silver, 220 g lighter swinging arm, DLC-coated M endurance chain and passenger package including tail-hump cover.

• Comprehensive optional accessories and optional equipment ex works.

Take note Yamaha!

Your M1 doesn’t have M brakes

Why?

What possible use is this on public roads, and it isn’t a true race bike without mods...

Does this thing even run right below 8000RPM, or 90mph?

I just sent this to my buddy in London ON who races RR’s.

The S1000RR is actually pretty decent on the roads.

It has variable valve timing for the engine so it’s power in the midrange is very good in the 1000cc class (which is never lacking power even at 3-4k rpm). I mean it’s a batshit insane bike when cranked but it can be ridden calmly in rain and normal modes, has cruise control and heated grips (all of which carry to this M). Reviewers have been quite happy with it. It’s faults being the sensible choice and lacking personality compared to the others in class. This is only a slight evolution of the S1000RR M, GT3 -GT3 RS like.

I personally have not been on the new RR (I’m not one for clip-ons), my experience is with the previous gen on the ‘19 S1000R demo and it was/is a great road bike, better than my 650f on balance and had very similar throttle feel and fueling in normal mode. Only when deliberately wristed it took off like a scalded cat.

I take stock in the announcements by these German automotive brands they are en route to becoming lifestyle brands. You bring up a good point questioning in which direction the Asian manufacturers will go.

I didn’t know this was going down today. The new gen RR has been praised since it’s release for MY ‘19 and this is just that little bit more sharp and special.

I’ve only been on a demo ‘19 S1000 R and it was a shockingly good bike. It behaved just as well as my 650 for town in normal mode but would just fly when wristed.

What is the point of buying a bike like this to ride calmly, regardless of whether it is capable of it or not?

And the point of a machine like this is to do things that are illegal and very dangerous on public roads... and although close, it isn’t an actual race bike, either.

But yet they don’t build a competitor to the Diavel 1260S (which I kind of wish were a Diavel 95 0S, itself... )

nor do they build a real world bike as interesting as the older R1100S, or K1200R-Sport.

It seems like a lot of companies put their best efforts into machines that are out of touch with most people and use cases in the real world.

It’s for homologation. WSBK rules limit certain modifications . Therefore, BMW needs to put more of the Good Shit (tm) on this “roadgoing” version, so that they can then use it on their WSBK model. They can then win more races, thus making all of their bikes more desirable for their “race winning pedigree”.

The business case is to s ell enough of these at $50k+ to meet the requirements to use the parts on the WSBK bike.

Nobody will race this particular bike at the amateur level . Amateur racing will continue to be dominated by the SV650 / R6 / R1 / ZX10, as has been the case for the past few years.

As is traditional, the people that buy these won’t be the ones that are fast enough to take advantage of the upgrades over the standard model. The people that are good enough riders..... won’t have to buy one because they will be getting paid to ride it.

The electronics are neat, advancements there will continue to be what differentiates the 1000cc class from each other . The brakes are interesting - Wonder what makes them different from the Brembos that everyone else uses?

I don’t like the winglet trend on road bikes due to the fragility of them. They look really easy to break off, resulting in an expensive repair.

I was actually surprised to learn that the “M” brakes are just Nissin Calipers (anodized and rebranded) from what they said on the 44 Teeth video, maybe they have a more aggressive pad as well?
