The 2019 BMW S 1000 RR will be launched in India by BMW Motorrad on June 27, 2019, and the new model will get a long list of updates compared to the outgoing model. The 2019 S 1000 RR looks sharper with updated design, with new bodywork, and the most significant change cosmetically, with new headlamps, a departure from the trademark asymmetrical headlights of the outgoing model. But there are still more significant changes at the heart of the litre-class superbike, with a new engine boasting even more performance and new technology.

The S 1000 RR gets a six-speed gearbox with an up/down quickshifter, and is equipped with an updated electronics suite as well.
