The M 1000 R sits at the top of BMW Motorrad’s roadster line-up and is based on the brand’s litre-class RR superbike platform. Powering the motorcycle is a 999 cc inline four-cylinder engine that punches out 207 bhp at 13,750 rpm and 113 Nm of torque at 11,100 rpm. BMW claims the bike can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds, while the top speed is rated at 280 kmph.

In terms of design, the M 1000 R gets a sharp and compact roadster look. At the front, it features dual LED headlights derived from the RR models, along with M winglets integrated into the bodywork. According to BMW, these winglets generate aerodynamic downforce and can increase the load on the front wheel by 11 kg at 220 kmph.
