What has BMW Motorrad announced for 2027?
BMW Motorrad has announced a 2027 model-year update across its lineup. The update covers pricing, colours, equipment, and model-specific changes. The M 1000 RR gets the most important mechanical update, while the S 1000 RR is refreshed with revised colours and a package reshuffle.
What is the biggest change to the M 1000 RR?
The M 1000 RR receives a new third-generation M Motorsport frame. BMW says the frame is lighter and has improved chassis characteristics, which should help with performance, feedback, and handling on track.
BMW claims the chassis features improved Flex properties and 30 per cent thinner walls, resulting in nearly 1.3 kg of weight saved from the kerb weight.
What changes has the S 1000 RR received?
The S 1000 RR is part of the 2027 update, too, but its changes are more in line with a model-year refresh. BMW Motorrad has added new colours, equipment updates, and package changes depending on the market.
Is the S 1000 RR getting major mechanical upgrades?
The BMW S 1000 RR remains mechanically unchanged for 2027, but receives a new Blackstorm Metallic/M Motorsport colour option, and M forged wheels come as standard with the M package, while M Carbon wheels are optional.
The new colour makes the 2027 S 1000 RR starkly resemble the M 1000 RR WSBK homologation special model.
What Powers the BMW M 1000 RR and S 1000 RR?
The BMW M 1000 RR and S 1000 RR are both powered by BMW’s 999 cc water/oil-cooled inline-four engines. The M 1000 RR makes 205 hp at 13,000 rpm, while the S 1000 RR makes 193hp from the same 999cc inline four engine.
How many BMW Motorrad models are affected?
BMW Motorrad’s 2027 update ranges across multiple models, not just the superbikes. The updated 2027 lineup includes the F 900 XR, S 1000 RR, M 1000 RR, M 1000 XR, R 1300 RS, F 900 R, S 1000 R, M 1000 R, R 1300 R, K 1600 GT, K 1600 GTL, 1600 Bagger and Grand America.
