Removing the fairing puts more than an engine on display. The BMW M 1000 RS brings the hardware of a track-focused superbike into a naked motorcycle with a more upright riding position.

The U.S. specification pairs a 999cc inline-four with 205 horsepower at 13,000 rpm and 83 lb-ft at 11,000 rpm. Curb weight is 432 pounds. Those are the American figures, rather than the higher output quoted for the global model.

Its M RR inheritance extends beyond the engine to adjustable footrests and a carbon-covered single-seat tail. Carbon wheels, M brakes, electronically controlled damping, an adjustable steering damper, and Race Pro modes form the standard package. A full titanium exhaust trims 3.5 pounds, while matte-carbon winglets give the exposed front end its distinctive outline.

The design works through surface contrast. A dark brushed-aluminum tank sits beneath matte-carbon trim, and Night Black paint keeps the structure visually coherent. The upper triple clamp carries a “1 of 1000” inscription, marking the worldwide production limit without suggesting an individual serial number.

U.S. MSRP is $38,395, excluding $1,160 destination and handling. Global dealer availability is planned from March 2027; U.S. preordering details remain forthcoming. The optional M Cover Kit is reserved for track use, while the standard configuration retains road equipment.
