2023 BMW M 1000 R

Features

• M PERFECTION: WINGLETS: Perfection is in the details. M winglets generate aerodynamic downforce to prevent high flyers from taking off. At a speed of 136.7 mph on the track, they increase the front-wheel load by 24.3 lbs. Your benefit: maximum riding stability, a lower tendency for the front wheel to lift off the road surface as well as the possibility to brake later and accelerate earlier when cornering.
• M EXPERIENCE: ELECTRONICS: Fully fledged M experience: the 6.5-inch TFT display welcomes you to the exclusive circle of high-performance riders with M start-up animation. One of four screen variants appears automatically after having started up thanks to the memory function. Optimized for the race track in true M style: as part of the new flashing gearshift indicator, the entire rev counter flashes once the set speed has been reached.
• M DOMINANCE: ENGINE: Superbike engine perfected for a hyper roadster: the four-cylinder engine from the RR with BMW ShiftCam technology catapults you from 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds. With a maximum engine speed of 14,600 rpm, the M R is clearly our most powerful roadster. From 10,000 rpm, you can consequently feel more torque and acceleration. In terms of gear ratio, the M R has more to offer compared with the RR: 47 instead of 46 teeth in the secondary gear ratio and a shorter gear ratio in 4th, 5th and 6th gear – for performance-oriented riding along country roads. Shift assistant Pro enables fast upshifts and downshifts. The bike's rich sound originating from the titanium rear silencer impressively emphasizes this.
• M RIDING EXPERIENCE: CHASSIS: Clear feedback and breathtaking target accuracy: the chassis with standard DDC as well as fully adjustable suspension elements, adjustable steering damper and milled handlebar clamp. For the M R, it was modified from the RR setup to match the demands of a dynamic roadster. New ergonomics and new handlebars ensure a seating position that is focused on the front wheel.
• M INTELLIGENCE: ASSISTANTS: High levels of performance thanks to high-end assistants. Three accelerator characteristics, linked to the Rain, Road, Dynamic, Race and Race Pro riding modes, deliver optimum response characteristics. DTC helps provide control and riding dynamics depending on the riding mode and Brake Slide Assist supports you in braking drifts when cornering.
• BORN IN M TOWN: White or black: no gray areas here. However, whether you choose the M R or the M R with M Competition package, you always choose a genuine M – identifiable by the exclusive colors with asymmetrical color design at the front.
• M STATEMENT: DESIGN: Dominant front, aggressive rear: M R at its best. Take your seat on the M seat at the perfect height and reach for the widened tubular handlebar with lasered “BMW M 1000 R” lettering. You stare into the aluminum, milled handlebar end mirrors. Sound on, light on: the M logo appears in the LED headlight. You know the road is yours.
• POWERFUL M BRAKE: Makes your overtaking maneuvers accurately controllable: the M brake. Identifiable by excellent performance and the clear-cut, stable resistance point – and visually identifiable by the blue anodized coating with M logo.
• STRIKING HANDLEBAR END MIRRORS: Trigger a genuine desire to attack: the new handlebar end mirrors milled from aluminum, which you are familiar with as special accessories for the S 1000 R. On the M R, they provide the ultimate hyper roadster look as standard.
• STRIKING FRONT END WITH M WINGLETS: Stay in control when accelerating thanks to M winglets generating aerodynamic downforce – for more riding stability at higher speeds up to top speed.
• SHORT LICENSE PLATE CARRIER: More aggressive, shorter, more compact: the license plate carrier forms a visual unit with the turn indicator and license plate lights. The function of the brake light and rear light has been integrated into the turn indicator lights.
• EXCLUSIVE M START-UP ANIMATION AND RACE RIDING MODES: M start-up animation: the ultimate start signal for your adrenaline. Select your riding mode on the TFT display depending on the challenge: Rain, Road, Dynamic, Race or Race Pro 1-3.
• HIGH-PERFORMANCE M R FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINE: Do you want to dominate the roads? The high-torque, four-cylinder engine with ShiftCam technology and 205 hp has been designed for this purpose: both for the race track and super-sporty use on country roads.
• LIGHTWEIGHT M CARBON WHEELS: Unmistakably a product of the M factory: optional M Carbon wheels with M Competition package graphic design. Reduced rotating masses and 3.5 lbs less weight improve handling and performance.
