Overview

The profiles shown here for the BMW M 1000 R cover model years 2023. Its naturally aspirated, liquid-cooled 999 cm³ inline-four makes 201 hp (150 kW) and 113 Nm of torque at 11,100 rpm; wet weight is 198.7 kg.

Peak torque arrives at 11,100 rpm, so reaching it means revving the engine. The 828 mm seat height can make it harder for shorter riders to plant both feet, while the 198.7 kg wet weight takes more effort to maneuver at low speed. Electronic DDC damping is adjustable at both ends, and ABS is fitted to the front and rear brakes. A full 16.5 L tank gives a calculated range of about 254 km.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Electronic suspension adjustment

    DDC lets you adjust spring preload and rebound and compression damping at both ends, giving you a way to tailor suspension response.

  • Slipper clutch

    The slipper clutch helps calm the rear wheel during hard downshifts.

  • ABS on both ends

    ABS is fitted to the front and rear brakes to help manage braking.

Things to consider

  • Tall seat

    At 828 mm, the seat may make it difficult for shorter riders to get both feet firmly on the ground at stops.

  • Limited tank range

    The calculated range of about 254 km on a full 16.5 L tank means fuel stops need to be planned around that distance.

  • Weight at low speed

    Its 198.7 kg wet weight can take more effort to manage during slow maneuvering.
