The BMW Concept RR superbike was unveiled at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este at Lake Como in Italy on May 23. Inspired by the factory superbike BMW M 1000 RR, the Concept RR was presented as “the ultimate performance statement in terms of technology and design for the future generation of BMW RR models.”
Very few technical details have been released yet. The M 1000 RR was updated recently for model year 2025, and the Concept RR is still far from production, but it offers a look at where the model is headed.
“Never before has BMW Motorrad provided such an early glimpse into a future generation of the RR models,” said Markus Flasch, head of BMW Motorrad. “The BMW Motorrad Concept RR is a true masterpiece of our development team, both technically and in terms of design language.”
BMW’s M 1000 RR, in the hands of rider Toprak Razgatlioğlu, proved the dominating force in the FIM World Superbike Championship in 2024. The Concept RR builds on those championship-winning technologies. Its engine is the same liquid-cooled inline-Four of the World Superbike champ, delivering a claimed 230 hp, and borrows the M 1000 RR’s electronic control regulation systems such as engine management, traction control, and engine braking.
BMW claims that the concept bike sets a new benchmark in terms of lightweight construction and aerodynamics. It makes use of high-tech materials like carbon and aluminum, and its aerodynamics were designed with three objectives in mind: riding stability at very high speeds, maximum cornering speeds, and minimal air resistance for optimal top speed. To achieve these goals, the Concept RR features reduced external attachments, precision of airflow, and ventilated front and rear sections. Also included are integrated winglets in the fairing. An illuminated RR symbol on the downside of the aluminum tail adds to the bike’s appearance.
