BMW’s main idea is to build a motorcycle that honours TT heritage while showcasing the performance image of its M-badged superbike line.

One of the most notable marks BMW has left on the legacy of the Isle of Man TT is Peter Hickman’s all-time Isle of Man TT lap record, set in 2023 on a BMW M 1000 RR with a time of 16:36.115 at an average speed of 136.358 mph.
