The BMW M 1000 RR hits the market with a price tag of Rs 49 lakh

BMW has made an exciting announcement as they unveil the road-legal version of their highly acclaimed Superbike World Championship (WSBK) contender, the M 1000 RR. With its latest updates and enhancements, the M 1000 RR is now available for purchase at a starting price of Rs 49 lakh (ex-showroom, India). BMW gives the option to add the M Competition Package to the bike for those seeking even more performance, but this will cost an additional Rs 6 lakh, bringing the total cost to Rs 55 lakh (ex-showroom, India). This package is intended to elevate the M 1000 RR to new heights, boosting its capabilities and providing motorcycle aficionados with a spectacular riding experience.

The BMW M 1000 RR has a powerful liquid-cooled, 999cc, inline-four engine, delivering an impressive output of 212hp at 14,500rpm and a torque of 113Nm at 11,000rpm. Although the torque remains unchanged, the M 1000 RR boasts a peak power increase of 2hp, now achieved at 750rpm higher than its counterpart, the 2023 S 1000 RR Pro M Sport. Furthermore, the M 1000 RR showcases its commitment to the performance by shedding 1.5kg of weight compared to the S 1000 RR, with the added benefit of an additional weight reduction of 200g when equipped with the M Competition Package.

Distinguished by its distinctive design, the M 1000 RR sets itself apart from the S 1000 RR with notable visual elements. At the front, a sizable air intake takes prominence, while the full carbon-fiber fairing showcases imposing winglets on each side. The M 1000 RR offers a comprehensive range of advanced electronic rider aids tailored for the track. This includes a selection of seven riding modes, three of which allow complete customization to suit individual preferences. Switchable ABS and traction control further enhance the bike's performance capabilities. All these features are effortlessly managed through a user-friendly 6.5-inch colour TFT dashboard, ensuring easy access to crucial information while navigating the road or track.

If you can invest an additional Rs 6 lakh in the M Competition Package, an array of enticing upgrades awaits. This princely sum unlocks a host of premium features, including a GPS data logger designed to meticulously record your lap times, meticulously crafted billet machined M parts, sleek carbon-fibre aero covers specifically tailored for the wheels, and a bare metal swing arm that sheds a significant 220g in weight, further enhancing the bike's performance. These enhancements not only elevate the M 1000 RR's capabilities but also add an extra touch of exclusivity to an already exceptional machine.
