About the BMW Motorrad M 1000 R

Overview

The BMW Motorrad M 1000 R is a superbike from BMW Motorrad. It is currently on sale. Superbikes are the fastest, most powerful road-going sports bikes. With a 999 cc engine it sits in the big-bike, 800 cc-plus class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 999 cc 4-cylinder oil-cooled fuel-injected engine that makes 209.4 PS at 13,750 rpm and 113 Nm of torque at 11,100 rpm. Peak torque comes high up, at 11,100 rpm, so it rewards revving. Its bore is wider than its stroke (80 mm x 49.7 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 1052 PS per tonne; by that measure, its performance is at superbike level and rewards an experienced rider. The claimed top speed is 280 km/h. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 5-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

Its frame is Bridge-type frame, cast aluminium, Co-supporting engine. Suspension is by travel - 120 mm forks at the front and travel - 117 mm rear suspension at the rear. Braking is by twin 300 mm discs at the front and a 220 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 120/70-17 at the front and 200/55-17 at the rear.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 830 mm off the ground, which is on the tall side, so shorter riders may want to try it first. It weighs 199 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. The wheelbase is 1,455 mm. Its 16.5 L fuel tank and claimed mileage of 15 kmpl work out to roughly 248 km per tankful on paper; real-world range is usually lower.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes a digital instrument console, an LED headlamp, USB charging port, call and SMS alerts, mobile app connectivity, cruise control and daytime running lamps. Safety equipment includes traction control and low fuel indicator.

Maintaining the BMW Motorrad M 1000 R

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Double Disc, 300 mm and Disc, 220 mm brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    This bike runs 120/70-17 / 200/55-17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    The battery is listed as 12 V / 5 Ah. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

BMW Motorrad M 1000 R specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
Cruise control
Holds a set speed without you holding the throttle open, which reduces fatigue on longer, steady stretches.
Tubeless tyres
Tyres with no inner tube. A small puncture usually loses air slowly, which makes roadside repair easier.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
