2023 BMW 1000 R

When BMW Motorrad unveiled the M 1000 R in 2022, it represented the first time the brand’s storied M division had turned its engineering focus toward the realm of naked superbikes. Developed from the already formidable S 1000 R, the “MRR” was conceived as an uncompromising blend of hypersport performance, track-derived technology, and road-going versatility — a two-wheeled counterpart to BMW M’s most celebrated cars.

Immediately upon release, the M 1000 R made its mark in the performance naked category. Its 999 cc, liquid-cooled, inline-four engine — derived directly from the M 1000 RR superbike — produces an astonishing 205 horsepower at 13,750 rpm, with BMW ShiftCam variable valve timing ensuring an even spread of torque across the rev range. This, combined with a featherweight chassis, fully adjustable Marzocchi suspension, and M Carbon wheels, allows the M 1000 R to achieve razor-sharp handling with remarkable stability at speed.

Aerodynamics are equally central to the bike’s philosophy, with signature M winglets generating measurable downforce to keep the front wheel planted during aggressive acceleration — a feature borrowed straight from BMW’s race program. Stopping power comes from M-branded Nissin brakes with 320 mm floating discs, providing precise modulation both on road and circuit. Advanced electronics, including a six-axis IMU, multiple riding modes, cornering ABS, and dynamic traction control, ensure the rider can exploit the M 1000 R’s capabilities with confidence.

Now in only its second year of production, the M 1000 R has already established itself as one of the most desirable and collectable performance motorcycles of its era — a machine that embodies BMW M’s motorsport DNA in a raw, elemental form.

This example, showing just ~2,500 miles from new, is finished in the striking M Motorsport livery and benefits from a life of careful ownership. With its as-delivered factory specification intact and virtually no signs of use, it offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire BMW Motorrad’s flagship hypernaked in near-new condition, ready to be enjoyed or preserved as a future icon.
