Munich/Cernobbio. As part of the prestigious Concorso
d’Eleganza Villa d’Este at Lake Como, BMW Motorrad unveils its latest
creation for the superbike segment: the BMW Motorrad Concept RR as the
ultimate performance statement in terms of technology and design for
the future generation of BMW RR models.
Markus Flasch, Head of BMW Motorrad: “Never before has BMW
Motorrad provided such an early glimpse into a future generation of
the RR models. The BMW Motorrad
Concept RR is a true masterpiece
of our development team, both technically and in terms of design
language. Guided and inspired by the BMW Motorrad factory
superbike
M 1000 RR, with which BMW Motorrad factory rider Toprak
Razgatlioğlu was able to dominantly win the FIM World Superbike
Championship last year, the Concept RR offers a true firework of
superlatives for both street and track use. The transfer from racing
to road has never been shown more clearly. It represents BMW
Motorrad’s leadership claim to offer the highest engineering level and
maximum performance in this segment.”
Maximum performance, based on the BMW factory superbike.
BMW Motorrad engages in motorsport out of passion and conviction – on
the tracks of the FIM Superbike World Championship as well as in
numerous national and international championships. Every day, the BMW
Motorrad team lives the symbiosis of engineering excellence and an
unyielding drive for top performance anew. This dedication is
reflected in every detail of our superbikes, and the valuable insights
gained from racing are incorporated into our production models.

In terms of propulsion, the BMW Motorrad Concept RR relies on the
water-cooled inline four-cylinder engine of the world champion machine
from the FIM Superbike World Championship, which already delivers more
than 230 hp (169 kW). This promises pure adrenaline in terms of
propulsion and reinforces the leadership claim in the superbike
segment. Accompanying this are the electronic control and regulation
systems that come directly from the WSBK M 1000 RR, such as the engine
management, traction control, and engine brake.
New benchmark in terms of lightweight construction and aerodynamics.
By innovative manufacturing techniques and the use of high-tech
materials such as carbon and aluminum, the BMW Motorrad Concept RR
sets new benchmarks in lightweight construction. From the frame to the
smallest component, every detail is consistently optimized for
lightweight construction and performance. The design also follows this
principle: sharp, purposeful, expressive – with an embossed RR logo on
the tail and an illuminated RR symbol on the downside of the delicate
aluminum tail.
The BMW Motorrad engineers placed special emphasis on aerodynamics,
particularly on the challenging objectives of “riding stability
at very high speeds,” “maximum cornering speeds,” and
“minimal air resistance for optimal top speed.” These
competing goals are realized by the Concept RR through an
unprecedentedly compact package, reduced external attachments, and
enhanced precision of airflow, even through the motorcycle – from the
ventilated front to the monolithic, also ventilated, aerodynamically
optimized rear.
In addition, the concept bike is equipped with an aerodynamically
optimized fairing with integrated winglets and high-performance brakes
– uncompromisingly perfected for ambitious super-sporty use on the
road up to professional racing.

motorcycling as safe and comfortable as possible with perfectly
designed clothing, while also stylishly shaping the motorcycle
lifestyle with attractive fashion, for more then 45 years. Today, it
offers a comprehensive program of Riders Gear and Casual Wear. Once
again, the maxim for BMW Motorrad is: Make existing things even better
and simultaneously develop new innovative solutions. Accordingly, on
the occasion of the presentation of the
BMW Motorrad Concept RR,
a unique lifestyle jacket was developed:
