A special M 1000 R product substance has been tuned to meet the requirements of a super sport roadster based on the current S 1000 R and S 1000 RR models. On country roads as well as on tracks, the riding dynamics speak for themselves.
BMW has been offering M special equipment and M Performance Parts for a variety of BMW models and the M Motorsport automobile brand. Following the M 1000 RR superbike in 2023, the new BMW M 1000 R has been introduced as an M model for 2023. BMW is releasing the 2023 BMW M 1000 R bike along with many other bikes to compete against its competitors. Depending on your customized options, the BMW M 1000R will cost between 42 and 45 lakhs in 2023.
Engine of 2023 BMW M 1000 R
There is no denying that the engine’s power is the real story here on this M 1000R. It is a liquid cooled 999cc inline four with a nearly identical power output to the RR. Just like its fully dressed housemate, the bore and stroke measure 80 x 49.7mm.
This M model features a new compression ratio of 13.3:1, and the red line has risen from 12,000 to 14,600 rpm, which is the same as the new RR. A whopping 40 horsepower more than the S 1000 R, the BMW M 1000 R blows away its rivals.
For riders who demand pure performance from their sport bike, the M 1000 R is a perfect choice. In other words, it puts out 205 horsepower at 13,500 rpm and 83 ft-lbs of torque at an even higher 11,000 rpm. In the M, the rev limit is 14,600 rpm, while in the S, it’s 12,000.
BMW M 1000 R Electronics
Because of the M 1000 R’s closer relationship with the S 1000 RR than its stable-mate, the M 1000 R’s electronics package is very similar to the RR. There is a quick shifter standard, and BMW reports that the shift pattern can be reversed for track use. An IMU with six axes provides precise information about the electronics package. The information provides the rider aids with the best chance of working efficiently.
Driving Modes for 2023 BMW M 1000 R
Race Pro Mode
Race Pro modes come standard on the M, offering three customizable modes, as well as an additional throttle response called Direct. Race Pro mode allows the rider to adjust Dynamic Traction Control on the fly from the left handlebar switch.
There is also a Race Pro mode for fine-tuning each of the three track modes and adding a throttle response curve. Direct Throttle Response is one of the Race Pro modes, which allows for the most aggressive riding experience. The traction control system, the engine braking system, the Anti Braking System or ABS, and the slide assist system can all be adjusted. Pit lane speed limiters and launch control are also available.
Rain Mode
The M’s base models are the same as the other bikes: Rain, which gives a softer throttle response and lower torque; Road, which gives a more optimal throttle response and reduced torque. This Mode gives better throttle response and less torque in lower gears.
BMW Shift Cam Technology
Intake valve timing and valve lift are controlled using BMW Shift Cam technology. An intake shift camshaft consists of three parts: a torque cam, a power cam, and a shift segment with two cams of varying geometry, each designed for actuation of one valve.
On the M 1000R, the BMW Shift Cam shifts at 9,000 rpm, as it does on the S 1000 RR. If the torque required is greater than 9,000 rpm, the shift is made to the torque cam below 9,000 rpm. Their channel geometry has been advanced & they are designed to produce the best possible flow compared to the S 1000 R.
Additionally, like the M 1000R, the intake ducts have been redesigned to deliver superior power across the entire rev range as well as to improve performance on the street and the track.
Quick Acceleration
Lower gearing improves high rpm performance, and BMW tweaked the variable intake funnels for better flow at higher revs. The titanium muffler rounds off the performance upgrade.
Its gearing differs from that of the BMW R 1000. A few extra surprises are added to the rear sprocket, plus shorter gear ratios for 4th through 6th gears. Since racetrack top speeds aren’t necessary on the streets, BMW trades top speed for acceleration. BMW won’t disclose the RR’s top speed, but it’s expected to reach 186 mph. The R can reach 174 mph.
Suspension
With Marzocchi’s semi active suspension, you can drive the car in a sophisticated manner. The four suspensions complement the rider modes Race, Dynamic, Road, and Rain. To compensate for a passenger, they feature electronic preload adjustment. A rider can fine tune suspension damping and spring preload using Race Pro mode. TFT display allows you to make all adjustments through the highly customizable 6.5 inch screen.
Aerodynamics
Inline four engines can be tuned for torque without having to be tuned for performance. Winglets can be added for a more realistic ride as well.
Despite its size, BMW claims that the M’s wings provide 22 pounds of down-force at 136 mph, enough to release the engine’s handcuffs. It is obvious that the M 1000 R is designed for track days, and its high level of components makes it ideal for racing.
Braking System
There is track-ready braking on the 2023 BMW M 1000 R. The fronts discs measure 320mm and are part of the M braking system, which BMW describes as excellent in terms of performance, pressure point stability, and fade stability.
Chassis
There is no doubt that the engine on the M 1000 R steals the show, but the chassis is definitely doing the heavy lifting and gets credit less frequently. You need to make sure that does not happen since the M 1000R is blessed with outstanding components. With a few exceptions, the frame is very similar to the RRs.
It consists of four die-cast aluminum sections welded together with some areas of removed material, similar to the Flex Frame used on the RR. Consequently, it generates the flex that engineers were looking for to allow the suspension to provide better handling compliance.
Design
On the M 1000R, the swing arm pivot point is not adjustable and the rear shock height is not adjustable like on the double R. The chassis is otherwise very similar to the RR, including its gravity cast aluminum swing arm that is virtually identical to the RR’s.
There is also a slight difference in geometry, as the M 1000 R has a rake of 24 degrees and a trail of 3.8 inches compared to the RR’s 57.3 inches. Having a full tank of fuel, its curb weight tips the scales at 439 pounds with a full tank of fuel.
Sport Exhaust System
Similarly, BMW engineers reduced the overall weight of the exhaust system while increasing the power and torque distribution of the new M 1000 R. As part of the new standard Sport exhaust system, there are two three way catalytic converters and a titanium rear silencer. There is also an M Titanium front silencer system which includes a manifold.
