BMW Reveals M 1000 RR 50 Years M Anniversary Edition

BMW Motorrad has revealed a special edition of the M 1000 RR sportbike to commemorate 50 years of BMW M. The M 1000 RR or M RR for short is BMW's first M branded motorcycle getting a number of mechanical and cosmetic updates over its sister model the S 1000 RR. BMW Motorrad has not made too many changes to the anniversary edition – called the M 1000 RR 50 Years M – with most of the mechanicals and design left untouched from the regular M 1000 RR. Where the anniversary edition does differentiate itself is the new paint shade and the optional M Competition package as standard.

The biggest change to the special edition motorcycle is that it gets a lot of the optional M Competition package from the standard M RR as standard fit and is available in a new paint shade.
