BMW M 1000 RR: Mechanical Specifications

A 999cc, four-cylinder, water, and oil-cooled engine with BMW's ShiftCam technology drives the BMW M 1000 RR. At 14,500rpm, this motor produces 210bhp of maximum power, and at 11,000rpm, it churns out a peak torque of 113Nm. The motor is connected to a six-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch and a bi-directional quickshifter. The bike has a peak speed of 314km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 3.1 seconds.  

BMW M 1000 RR: Design

Speaking of design, the 2019 BMW M 1000 RR's rear has been altered. It sports a small number plate holder and an ergonomic M Endurance seat. The fairing boosts airflow around the rider and increases speed since it is made of exposed visible carbon fibre. The new motorcycle's winglets have also been improved to provide more aerodynamic downforce, increasing stability and reducing the tendency to wheelie. In addition, the bike's windscreen is longer than the one on the standard model. The M 1000 RR is equipped with M brakes, which were developed from racing brakes used in the World Superbike Championship.

The brake callipers have a blue anodized finish and an M logo. Thanks to adjustments made to the rear electrical harness, it is now quicker and simpler to remove the number plate holder with light units. The M 1000 RR Competition has an M Carbon package, a 220gm lighter swing arm, an M Endurance chain, and a passenger kit with a tail-hump cover. BMW claims that the front mudguard's brake ducts, which cool the brakes, increase airflow and braking performance. Forged wheels are available as an option.
