Superbike genes – with a pinch of madness: the BMW M 1000 R embodies the ultimate upgrade of the Dynamic Roadster. What’s more: it impresses, it provokes, it goes it’s own way. Or, in other words: it offers typical M ingredients – whether in terms of power (210 hp) thanks to ShiftCam technology or the top speed (170 mph) with a shorter secondary gear ratio. This means it is well equipped for chasing best times on the race track. With its potent design in eye-catching M colors, it sets the tone above all on the road – not least thanks to the standard titanium sports silencer. The headlights with illuminated M lettering and darkened headlight diffuser, the black front forks and the aerodynamic winglets emphasize its unique appearance. The M 1000 R delivers what it promises visually. With shift assistant PRO, RACE riding modes and the M Brake, it has a thoroughbred racing DNA. And that’s not all: the extensive standard equipment also pays off in everyday life. An electronic DDC chassis, cornering light, heated grips and cruise control are just some of the features on board. If the M Sport seat, M Endurance chain and M forged wheels as standard aren’t enough, the optional M Competition package ensures an even more exclusive appearance with the M 1000 R in Black Storm Metallic/M Motorsport, carbon features, as well as the M footrest system and the passenger package.
