BMW has introduced the formidable M 1000 R, the second offering from BMW’s M division in India. Earning its moniker from BMW’s high-performance M division, this motorcycle not only embodies speed, but also boasts more power than the acclaimed S 1000 RR superbike. It stands as the world’s most potent production Naked bike, arriving in India via the CBU route and offering an exhilarating alternative to its competitors.

BMW M 1000 R: A Glimpse of Supremacy

Unmatched Power: With a shared 999cc inline-four engine from the S 1000 RR, the M 1000 R roars to life with an astounding 212hp at 14,500rpm. This places it as the most potent naked production bike available, second only to the fully faired M 1000 RR in BMW’s lineup.

Technological Marvel: The M 1000 R inherits BMW’s Shiftcam variable valve timing technology, optimizing performance and power delivery. Though it slightly trails the Ducati Streetfighter V4 in torque output, its 113Nm ensures breathtaking acceleration. BMW claims a blistering 0-100kph time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 280kph – an exhilarating prospect for any rider.

Distinctive Design: Marked by exclusive paint schemes and prominent front wings, the M 1000 R exudes a sense of purpose. These winglets not only enhance downforce during cornering but also when in an upright position. The front fender is ingeniously designed to channel cooling air towards the brake components.

The Price of Power

Value Proposition: The M 1000 R starts at Rs 33 lakh, with an additional Rs 5 lakh for the M Competition pack. This pack introduces Carbon Fiber wheels, various carbon fiber and billet aluminum components, adjustable M footpegs, and more. While it comes at a premium compared to the top-tier Pro M Sport variant of the S 1000 R, it stands significantly more affordable than the BMW M 1000 RR.

Pre-orders and Deliveries: Enthusiasts can pre-order the M 1000 R at all BMW Motorrad showrooms nationwide, with deliveries slated to commence in January 2024.

In essence, the BMW M 1000 R represents the epitome of raw power and engineering prowess. With unrivaled performance and a competitive price tag, it emerges as a compelling option for riders seeking the pinnacle of Naked Bike exhilaration.
