BMW M 1000 R Launched in India at Rs 33 Lakh, Claims 280km/h Top Speed

Subsequent to the launch of the M 1000 RR in June 2023, BMW Motorrad has now rolled out the M 1000 R motorcycle in India alongside its full-blown Competition variant. The price for the BMW M 1000 R is set at Rs 33 lakh, while the BMW M 1000 R Competition costs Rs 38 lakh. All prices mentioned are ex-showroom. The all-new BMW M 1000 R hypernaked bike is the highest-spec S 1000 R motorcycle that comes with 'M' grade features, engine parts, and components over the standard bike. The BMW M 1000 R Competition, on the other hand, is equipped with the M Competition package, including the Blackstorm metallic/M Motorsport colour scheme, rider footrest, carbon wheels, engine protector, the M pillion cover, etc. The engine on offer is a 999cc, inline 4-cylinder, water-cooled unit that belts out 113Nm of peak torque at 11,000rpm and 209bhp at 14,500rpm, even making more power than the Ducati Streetfighter V4 S (205bhp). The BMW ShiftCam technology – which features Variable Valve Timing (VVT) – is said to offer optimum performance in high and low revs, letting the engine produce more torque across the rev range.

The Bavarian motorcycle maker has also given the M 1000 R titanium valves, new spring assemblies, and lighter cam followers, thereby helping the vehicle to perform better. The M 1000 R boasts a top speed of 280km/h and a 0-100km/h timing of 3.2 seconds (claimed).
