Munich’s pair of superbikes, the 2025 BMW Motorrad M1000RR and S1000RR, receive updates for the coming year. In Malaysia, the 2024 BMW Motorrad M1000RR retails at RM297,500 while the S1000RR is priced at RM132,500.

New for 2025 is the fitment of an ‘M’ short-stroke throttle to both the M1000RR and S1000RR, giving a 58-degree twist angle. This allows the rider to rev the engine quickly up to redline.

For the M1000RR, the inline four-cylinder engine is “overhauled” and now pumps out 218 hp, an increase of 6 hp over the previous generation. This is achieved with the use of a cylinder head with new port design, new combustion chamber shape, full-shaft titanium valves with new tulip and seat geometry on intake and exhaust sides, and new engine mount.

The is also optimised aerodynamics for the M1000RR, with M Winglets 3.0, giving increased downforce for faster lap times on the racetrack. The Flex Frame has also been further developed and now includes the earlier mentioned new engine mount on the left side.

In the electronic riding suite, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) now features Slide Control thanks to steering angle sensor technology. This divides the functions of DTC into Slip Control and Slide Control for better handling during cornering on the track.

The introduction of steering angle sensor technology also leads to the new Brake Slide Assist function of the BMW Race ABS Pro. Combined with the M short-stroke throttle, this results in enhanced performance and control.

Bodywork on the M1000RR is also changed, redesigned with the fairing, front wheel cover, and engine spoiler now made of plastic and the M Aero wheel covers deleted. There are two variants of the M 1000 RR offered – the base model in a primary color of Lightwhite uni with Michael van der Mark’s ’60’ race number and the M 1000 RR M Competition in Blackstorm metallic carrying World Superbike champion Toprak Razgatlioglu’s ’54’, each combined with graphics in M colors.

Meanwhile, the S1000RR gets new aerodynamic winglets along with new side fairings. Additionally, there is a new front wheel cover with ducts for cooling the brake callipers.

The S1000RR now gets Pro riding modes as standard, including an additional “Race Pro” mode giving two additional combinations of throttle response and engine torque, as well as the Engine Brake and Hill Start Control Pro functions. There is also five-level adjustable ABS in the “Race Pro” modes, and a “Slick” setting for the ABS while Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) is standard.

The new S1000RR is offered in three paint schemes – the base variant in Blackstorm metallic, the Sport model variant in Bluestone metallic with matte graphics, and the M Motorsport variant in Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport in combination with the M package.
