2023 BMW S 1000 RR: Top highlights

The variant-for-variant price difference between the 2023 model and the outgoing model is ₹50,000.

Wraps have been finally taken off the 2023 BMW S 1000 RR for Indian customers. The motorcycle can be purchased in three versions - Standard, Pro, or Pro M Sport. BMW Motorrad has introduced the motorcycle with a boatload of updates. Buyers can anticipate receiving their new sportsbike starting in February 2023. If you are planning to house the new S 1000 RR sportsbike in your garage, then let's go through its top highlights without any further ado.

Mechanical Specifications 

The 999cc, inline-four, liquid-cooled engine with BMW ShiftCam is still included in the mechanical specs. However, the motor now generates a power output of 207bhp at 13,750rpm and 113Nm maximum torque at 11,000rpm. According to the company, updated intake funnels and redesigned intake geometry have made it possible for peak production figures to grow. The model comes paired with a six-speed gearbox. Additionally, it has a top speed of more than 300km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 3.2 seconds.

Appearance

The chassis can now bend more laterally. Simply put, the frame of the motorcycle is less rigid than the frame of the older model. The longer wheelbase, now measuring 1,458mm, the 23.6-degree rake angle, and the lengthier tail at 99mm boasts improved stability. The fairing is equipped with conventional sports aero winglets that claim to add 10kg of downforce. The windscreen has also been extended to better wind deflection. The sleek LED headlamp assembly from the previous model is still present. Moreover, this model has received a new rear end. The motorcycle has aluminium wheels covered with 20/70 R17 (front) and 190/55 R17 (rear) tyres. However, the Pro M Sport model has carbon fibre wheels along with a number of additional parts that make use of lightweight components.

Features

The electronic rider aids on the 2023 model encompass four ride modes (Rain, Road, Dynamic, and Race), the traction control system with slide control function, ABS with brake slide assist, bidirectional quickshifter, hill start control, launch control, and pit lane limiter. 

Market Rivals

The 2023 BMW S 1000 RR will compete against the likes of Italian models such as the 2023 Ducati Panigale V4 and the Aprilia's RSV4 1100 series. It is expected to be at war with the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R in India.

The motorcycle can be purchased at the following prices as per variants:
