2023 BMW M 1000 R Blackstorm Metallic/M Motorsport

Pushes you to the limit: the M 1000 R. In short, the M R. Superbike meets dynamic roadster. Its heritage stems from M racing developers and the race track. A stunning 205 hp with a top speed of 280 km/h and you’re in control on country roads or the race track. The bike is very forgiving, but it will never forgive you for not riding it. Maximum performance: a must. Your objective: exceed dominate the road. M colours clearly signal this. Unmissable: the sound of the M R four-cylinder engine. Can you hear it calling you? Start the engine! #NeverStopChallenging

Perfection is in the details. M winglets generate aerodynamic downforce to prevent high flyers from taking off. At a speed of 220 km/h, they increase the front-wheel load by 11 kg. 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.

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. Optimised 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.

Features may include:

• Powerful M brake

Makes your overtaking manoeuvres accurately controllable: the M brake. Identifiable by excellent performance and the clear-cut, stable resistance point and visually identifiable by the blue eloxal coating with M logo.

• Striking handlebar end mirrors

Trigger a genuine desire to attack: the new handlebar end mirrors 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.

• Exclusive M Competition package

The cherry on top: M Competition package. With its Blackstorm metallic paintwork, high-quality carbon-fibre parts, M Carbon wheels and exclusive special accessories, the M R is an impressive overall package.

• 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 number plate carrier

More aggressive, shorter, more compact: the number plate carrier forms a visual unit with the turn indicator and number 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.
