New updates to the BMW S 1000 RR, S 1000 R, M 1000 RR and M 1000 R for 2025

BMW Motorrad’s superbikes, the M 1000RR and the S 1000 RR, along with the hyper nakeds, the M 1000 R and the S 1000 R have now been visually and technically updated. The common changes to the bikes include Euro 5+ homologation of the engines and inclusion of the M short-stroke throttle with a reduced rotation angle, and here’s the complete lowdown on the updates of these motorcycles.

BMW M 1000 RR
The new M 1000 RR’s 999cc in-line four engine gets an overhaul, which includes a cylinder head with new port design, new combustion chamber shape, full-shaft titanium valves with new tulip and seat geometry on the intake and exhaust sides, and a new engine mount. Power has gone up to 215bhp, 6 bhp over the earlier model. You also get a titanium exhaust system with modified cylinder head flanges, oval header inlets, and modified pre-silencer. Additionally, the M 1000 RR features optimised aerodynamics through a newly designed front fairing. The newly constructed M Winglets 3.0 increase downforce, and the Flex Frame has been further developed and now includes a new engine mount on the left side.

BMW has also made improvements to the control systems of the M 1000 RR. The Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) now features the new Slide Control function thanks to the steering angle sensor, which has resulted in a new subdivision of the DTC into Slip Control and Slide Control. The introduction of the steering angle sensor has also led to the new Brake Slide Assist function of the BMW Race ABS Pro. As before, the new M 1000 RR is offered in two versions: the M 1000 RR base variant in the Lightwhite uni colour, and the M 1000 RR M Competition in Blackstorm metallic.

The Competition variant of the M 1000 R also gets the M GPS Laptrigger software, the M milled parts package, the M Carbon package, a lighter swinging arm, a DLC-coated M Endurance chain, a pillion package, and M Aero Wheel Covers. 

BMW S 1000 RR
The S 1000 RR has been refined for track use, and in addition to the M short-stroke throttle, you get new winglets for increased downforce, a new front wheel cover with integrated brake ducts, and new fairing side panels for a more striking design. The Pro riding modes are now standard, including the additional Race Pro modes, which includes a five-level adjustable ABS. The Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) is also a new standard feature. The new S 1000 RR is offered in three colour schemes – the base variant in Blackstorm metallic, the Sport model variant in Bluestone metallic with matte graphic applications, and the M Motorsport variant in Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport in combination with the M package. Powering the motorcycle is a 999cc in-line four cylinder engine producing 206bhp of power and 113Nm of torque.

BMW M 1000 R
The M 1000 RR hyper naked now gets an updated design with the new dual-flow headlight derived from the RR models, and the M logo in the intake between the headlight. The motorcycle is available as a base variant in the Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport colour scheme along with the new White Aluminium metallic matt colour scheme. In the M Competition equipment variant, this paint is also available in the Blackstorm metallic/M Motorsport colour scheme. In all the colour schemes, the rear frame and swingarm of the new model year are painted in Platinum Grey metallic. The winglets are finished in black textured paint, and the covers for the clutch and generator are also coated in black. You also get a revised traction control DTC, derived from the RR models. Just like the S 1000 RR, the motorcycle is powered by a 999cc in-line four-cylinder engine producing 206bhp and 113Nm.

BMW S 1000 R
The S 1000 R now gets a more powerful inline-four engine producing 168bhp, 5bhp more over the earlier model. It also gets a shorter final drive ratio, and the standard Shift Assistant Pro supports smoother gear changes. The traction control DTC also gets the revisions seen on the M 1000 RR. You get a dual-flow LED headlight and additional standard features such as engine drag torque control (MSR) with configurable ‘Engine Brake’, a short licence plate holder, and a USB-C port under the seat. The new S 1000 R is offered in three colour schemes, the base variant in Blackstorm metallic, the Sport model variant in Bluefire/Mugiallo Yellow, and in combination with the M package in Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport.

Prices for the updated BMW Motorrad range have not yet been revealed, though you can expect the motorcycles to command a premium over the outgoing models, owing to the additional equipment and enhancements offered with the range.
