BMW Motorrad has finally launched the M1000 RR and M1000 RR Competition edition at Rs. 42 Lakhs and Rs. 45 Lakhs respectively. The M1000 RR is a more track-oriented version of the BMW S 1000RR which serves a dual purpose both on track and the road.

Design & Dynamics
There is no major difference in the design of S 1000 RR and M 1000 RR. But it does get aero-winglets on the fairing exclusively developed on the track and in BMW’s wind tunnel. The BMW M 1000 RR’s engine cover is finished in granite grey, the fuel cap in black, the spring strut in blue, and the brake callipers coated in blue. The bike is built on "Flex Frame" and runs on carbon wheels including some other carbon-made equipment which cut down the M 1000 RR's weight by almost 4Kg compared to S 1000 RR.
