KUALA LUMPUR: BMW Motorrad Malaysia has introduced the new and highly-anticipated BMW M 1000 RR, alongside the latest variants of the S 1000 R superbikes.
Featuring the powerful BMW M DNA for the very first time, the M 1000 RR brings pure racing technology for the highest performance requirements in motorsports and on the road.
As the first BMW M model in the BMW Motorrad portfolio, the new model far exceeds all expectations in the top segments of Superbikes with its engine output of 212hp, complemented by a suspension and aerodynamics designed for maximum racetrack performance.
The retail price (on-the-road, without insurance, and with BMW Motorrad Malaysia’s All-New 3-Year Warranty and 3-Year Roadside Assistance Programmes) for the M 1000 RR is RM249,500.

The chassis design of the M 1000 RR is trimmed for racetrack use with modified geometry, optimised wheel load distribution and extended adjustability of the swinging arm pivot point.
The optimised upside-down fork and revised central spring strut come complete with Full Floater Pro kinematics while the new M winglets and high windscreen also offer earlier acceleration with more stability when cornering, thanks to the aerodynamic downforce without any reduction in maximum speed.
The M 1000 RR uses a water-cooled four-cylinder in-line engine based on the RR power train with BMW ShiftCam technology for varying valve timing and valve lift, achieving a peak output of 212hp at 14,500rpm and maximum torque of 113Nm at 11,000rpm.
The engine has extensive technical optimisation such as the new two-ring forged pistons from Mahle, adapted combustion chambers, compression increased to 13.5, longer and lighter titanium connecting rods from Pankl, slimmer and lighter rocker arms, fully machined intake ports with new duct geometry as well as optimisation on camshafts and intake area.

The lightweight exhaust system is also made of titanium, along with the front and rear silencers.
The M 1000 RR is equipped with “Rain”, “Road”, “Dynamic”, “Race”, and “Race Pro1-3” riding modes, along with the latest generation of the Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and DTC wheelie function with six-axle sensor box.
Two adjustable characteristic throttle curves also offer optimum response characteristics, while the engine brake arrives with threefold adjustable engine drag torque in “Race Pro” mode.
