BMW has recently launched the road-legal version of its Superbike World Championship machine, the updated M 1000 RR, in India. Priced at Rs 49 lakh (ex-showroom), it becomes the most expensive BMW bike in the country. Opting for the M Competition Package will cost an additional Rs 6 lakh, bringing the total price to Rs 55 lakh (ex-showroom).
The BMW M 1000 RR is powered by a liquid-cooled, 999cc, inline four engine that produces 212hp at 14,500rpm and 113Nm of torque at 11,000rpm. Compared to the 2023 S 1000 RR Pro M Sport, the M 1000 RR offers a 2hp increase in peak power (at a higher rpm) while maintaining the same torque. Additionally, it is 1.5kg lighter, and the M Competition Package further reduces the weight by an additional 200g. The design of the M 1000 RR sets it apart from the S 1000 RR, featuring a large air intake at the front and prominent winglets on each side of the full carbon-fiber fairing. The bike comes equipped with a range of race-spec electronic rider aids, including 7 riding modes (3 of which are customizable), switchable ABS and traction control. All of these features are controlled through a 6.5-inch color TFT dashboard.
Despite its high price, the BMW M 1000 RR remains more affordable than its competitor from Ducati, the Rs 69.90 lakh Panigale V4 R.
