BMW Motorrad India extends its M motorcycle range with the launch of the M 1000 R. While the standard roadster variant retails at INR 33 lakh, its Competition spec will cost you INR 38 lakh (ex-showroom).
Most Powerful Naked Sport
The BMW M 1000 R is the most powerful naked superbike money can buy. It has a 999cc 4-cylinder engine pumping out 212 HP at 14500 rpm and 113 Nm of torque at 11000 rpm. Its engine features BMW’s Shiftcam technology which ensures great low-end torque delivery at low speeds and higher peak power at higher engine speeds. BMW claims a 0-100 kmph time of 3.2 seconds and 280 kmph top speed for the M 1000 R.
Features Galore
The M 1000 R packs a 6.5-inch TFT screen which can be used to access the 5 riding modes it has to offer — Rain, Road, Dynamic, Race and Race Pro1-3. Additionally, it also has an array of safety features like wheelie control, dynamic traction control, launch control, traction control and ABS Pro.
M Competition Pack
Carrying a price premium of INR 5 lakh over the standard variant, the M 1000 R Competition offers a few add-ons. These include an exclusive M Blackstorm metallic paint scheme, M carbon wheels, a fully adjustable rider footrest system and M carbon parts such as rear wheel cover, tank cover, wind deflector, chain sprocket cover and pillion cover.
Hitting Shores Next Year
BMW Motorrad India has opened the order book for the M 1000 R. Customers can book one from the authorised BMW Motorrad dealerships. Its deliveries will commence in January 2024 and like the M 1000 RR, it will be brought to our shores as a Completely Built Unit (CBU).
