BMW Motorrad unveiled the M 1000 RR during the chaotic year of 2020.
The M 1000 R nameplate appears in recent vehicle certification filed in Switzerland and Germany.
The M 1000 R is scheduled to arrive in 2023 and could make an appearance soon.
Although the coronavirus pandemic hit the world in 2020, BMW bravely went ahead by introducing the M 1000 RR sports bike.
At the time, we knew that BMW wouldn’t stop at M 1000 RR, as the House of Munich also trademarked the name with “M 1000 XR” and “M 1300 GS”, signifying the arrival of two flagship motorcycles.
However, to our surprise, the firm’s hyper-naked motorcycle, the S 1000 R, will also receive the “M” treatment for 2023.
*BMW S 1000 R
That is the case according to the latest vehicle certification documents in Switzerland and Germany, as reported by Motorcycle.com.
The document showcased the M 1000 R pumping 206.5hp @ 13,750rpm and 112Nm @ 11,000rpm, a significant bump from the base S 1000 R that makes 165hp @ 11,000rpm.
This suggests that the M 1000 R will get the same tuning package as the firm’s S 1000 RR instead of the street-friendly S 1000 R.
*BMW S 1000 R
According to reports, the M 1000 R will also get a new exhaust system while adopting the ShiftCam timing system.
Considering that BMW Motorrad will not be present at this year’s EICMA show in Milan, the motorcycle could appear one month earlier at Intermot in October.
BMW Motorrad Malaysia has finally launched the all-new 2021 BMW S 1000 R.
The new S 1000 R variants are available as follows:
BMW S 1000 R (Style Sport) – RM104,500
BMW S 1000 R (M Package) – RM119,500
Enhanced further than ever before, it’s safe to say that this new litre roadster is brand new from the ground up with better performance, handling and styling than ever.
Going straight into firepower, its 999cc inline-four engine is based on the S 1000 RR which offers a 5kg weight reduction while producing 165hp at 11,000rpm and 114Nm torque at 9,250rpm. This roadster is finetuned for greater comfort and dynamics, especially when hitting that sweet spot within the mid-range.
New gear ratios from 4th to 6th gears also further enhances the bike’s overall rideability, which goes hand in hand with more weight reduction coming from its new chassis by 6.5kg altogether. This can be further reduced by another 4.8kg if customers opt for either the forged wheels or carbon fibre wheels.
In its base form, the 2021 BMW S 1000 R only weighs 199kg (dry) which makes it the lighter dynamic roadster in its class. From as low as 3,000rpm, riders will get to experience over 80Nm torque and that fact alone is already very exhilarating to think about.
The chassis is also further refined with the addition of “Flex Frame”, a new suspension package that uses the engine itself as the main load-bearing function. This allows for a more compact design which offers the riders to have better riding ergonomics as it allows their knees to be closer to the body compared to the previous-gen model.
Comfort and performance upgrades also come in the form of its underslung swingarm with Full Floater Pro kinematics and a new suspension strut. These offer a better riding feel as well as increased rear wheel grip, which in turn offer greater riding confidence.
Other new features include:
Lighter exhaust system
5-inch TFT screen
New front headlight design
New body panels with dynamic styling
Six-axis sensor box to control pitch rate and anti-wheelie function
ABS Pro with dedicated rain brake mode
WorldSBK-spec Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) with wheelie control
Selectable riding modes (Rain, Road, Dynamic)
Hillstart Control
DRLs and Adaptive Turning Lights (optional)
Shift Assistant Pro (optional)
Riding Modes Pro with adjustable wheelie control, Launch Control, Pitlane Limiter, and
Hillstart Control Pro (optional)
According to BMW Motorrad Malaysia, the S 1000 R arrives complete with Keyless Ride function, USB Charging Socket, Passenger Package, heated grips while the M Package consists of M Sport Seat, M lightweight battery, Sports Silencer and M GPS Laptrigger.
The new S 1000 R is available at selected authorised BMW Motorrad dealerships nationwide from 27th August 2021.
Hampir setahun selepas BMW memperkenalkan M 1000 RR untuk pasaran global, jentera superbike itu akhirnya memasuki pasaran Malaysia dan ditawarkan pada harga RM249,500.
Pelancaran M 1000 RR tahun lalu sememangnya menjadi topik perbualan ekoran tampil sebagai jentera superbike paling berkuasa pernah dihasilkan BMW.
Dibina berasaskan S 1000 RR, model baharu dengan lencana M itu meneruskan tradisi BMW sebagai lambang jentera berprestasi tinggi.
Hasilnya, enjin 999cc 4-inline dengan penyejukan cecair dan teknologi ShiftCam ini menawarkan 212hp pada 14,500rpm dan 112Nm pada 11,000rpm.
Bagi meningkatkan lagi prestasi dan tahap efisien enjin, M 1000 RR ini juga dilengkapi dengan corong kemasukan udara boleh ubah dengan bantuan servomotor yang berkemampuan mengubah saiz corong sewaktu kelajuan tinggi.
Hasilnya terdapat peningkatan tork yang ketara dari 6,100rpm kepada 9,500rpm.
Pada masa sama, BMW M 1000 RR ini juga didatangkan dengan ekzos titanium yang menggunakan dua ‘catalytic converters’ tiga arah dan didakwa hanya seberat 7kg berbanding 11kg yang terdapat pada S 1000 RR.
Empat mod tunggangan ditawarkan kepada penunggang menerusi Raid, Road, Dynamic dan Race namun BMW turut menawarkan tiga mod Race Pro boleh laras mengikut cita rasa.
Sementara itu, fork USD 45mm depan masih sama seperti yang terdapat pada S 1000 RR namun dengan penggunaan bahan – solid aluminium – yang lebih ringan.
Sistem brek dengan teknologi WSBK turut diguna pakai menerusi kaliper brek M yang dibekalkan oleh Nissin namun telah dimodifikasi bagi menawarkan prestasi lebih efisien dan ringan.
Kaliper ini dipasangkan dengan cakera brek 320mm yang sedikit tebal berbanding pada S 1000 RR dengan dua jenis pad brek ditawarkan BMW bagi kegunaan di jalan raya dan litar.
Sementara itu, BMW Motorrad Malaysia turut mengumumkan ketibaan S 1000 R 2021 untuk pasaran tempatan yang tampil dengan dua varian, S 1000 RR Style Sport dan M Package.
Varian Style Sport ditawarkan pada harga RM104,500 manakala M Package adalah RM119,500.
BMW telah menyuntik S 1000 R 2021 dengan enjin yang kini mematuhi piawain Euro 5 di samping kerangka ‘Flex Frame’ baharu.
Bagaimanapun, ciri yang paling menjadi perhatian adalah rekaan motosikal tersebut yang kini tampil dengan lampu depan LED tunggal berbanding model sebelum ini.
Meskipun tidak se-ikonik lampu sebelumnya namun jelas BMW kini memfokuskan kesinambungan bagi kesemua model sedia ada, maka tidak hairanlah lampu depan kini tampak seakan menyamai G 310 R yang turut sama dilancarkan.
Nadi S 1000 R juga dikemas kini bagi 2021 susulan pelaksanaan Euro 5 bagaimanapun ketika pengeluar lain terpaksa mengorbankan prestasi, BMW berjaya mengekalkan kuasa sama.
Unit 4-inline 999cc pada S 1000 R ini masih lagi menawarkan 165hp pada 11,000rpm dan 114Nm pada 9,250rpm dengan 90 daripada tork itu tersedia pada 5,500rpm hingga 12,000rpm.
Menariknya, susulan Euro 5, enjin ini juga 5 kilogram lebih ringan.
Klac assit/slipper yang ditawarkan turut ditambah baik dengan ‘engine drag torque control’ buat julung kalinya.
Sistem ini menghindarkan daripada tayar belakang tergelincir susulan penggunaan throttle (pendikit) atau turun ‘gear’ dengan kerap.
Pada masa sama, kerangka yang dinamakan ‘Flex Frame’ pada S 1000 R ini kini lebih ringan susulan diangkat dari S 1000 RR.
Penggunaan ‘Flex Frame’ ini selain daripada membenarkan penunggang meletakkan kaki dengan lebih rapat juga membantu meingkatkan kestabilan sewaktu mengambil selekoh dengan sudut condong tinggi.
Paparan TFT 6.5′ juga diambil dari S 1000 RR yang mengawal selia traction control, ABS pro dengan fungsi cornering dan tiga mod tunggangan, Rain, Road dan Dynamic.
Sementara itu, BMW turut menawarkan pakej Dynamic Pro yang merangkumi pelbagai tetapan tambahan antaranya
engine brake control
engine drag torque contol
Power Wheelie
Dynamic Brake Control (DBC)
Kedua-dua model M 1000 RR dan S 1000 R 2021 ini akan didapati di seluruh pengedar BMW Motorrad Malaysia bermula hari ini (27 Ogos 2021).
BMW Motorrad also took the opportunity to launch the new G 310 R’s bigger and more powerful brother, the 2021 BMW S 1000 R. Enhanced further than ever before, it’s safe to say that this new litre roadster is brand new from the ground up with better performance, handling and styling than ever. (more…)

BMW Motorrad is looking forward to another great year in 2019, what with the advent of the new models using the 1254cc ShiftCam boxer engine, new S 1000 RR, a return to WSBK, plus a few more models in the pipeline.
The BMW S 1000 R is the “roadster” version of the frenetic BMW S 1000 RR.
It is tuned for road-riding in particular but won’t be out of place on the racetrack.
Priced from RM 82,006.32 (basic selling price with 0% GST).
Yes, the 2018 BMW S 1000 R is the “seductive” (as in “naked’) version of the king of superbikes BMW S 1000 RR, but I felt like I was living in the world of the movie, Real Steel.
In 2020, human boxers are replaced by robots. But as with any competitive sport, what started out as a simple idea soon became a venture for large corporations hell-bent to win at all costs. This stratagem meant that the boxing robots became more and more sophisticated and robots of yesterdays were cast aside.
But as the story went along (as with any underdog feel-good movie), the protagonist’s son found a low-tech sparring bot that he soon named “Atom.” A sparring bot, like real-life sparring partners in boxing meant he had to suffer being bashed around by the superstar boxer on his (the superstar) way to bling, spinners, and er… ladies.
On the other hand, Atom the sparring bot was a stripped-down machine, meant only to fulfill its one intended role.
The S 1000 R was first released in 2014 to complement BMW Motorrad’s inline-Four sportbike lineup, which was headed by the rip-roaring S 1000 RR superbike.
You could say that the S 1000 R is the stripped-down version of the S 1000 RR, fair enough, as there are many shared components, but BMW intended the former to be a “roadster” for the streets.
For starters, the engine is tuned for more low- to mid-range torque (as if the S 1000 RR’s tune isn’t torquey), making it useful for road riding. The R’s 160 bhp arrives at 11,000 RPM and 112 Nm torque at 9,250 RPM, while the RR’s 199 bhp is found at 13,500 RPM and 113 Nm torque at 10,500 RPM.
Secondly, this version we tested was in its basic configuration, hence it had Rain and Road ride modes only, no Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) electronic suspension. However, Race ABS and Automatic Stability Control (ASC), as well as shift assistant (quickshifter) and cruise control are standard.
First thing you’d notice is the ergonomics, of course. The wide tapered handlebar is set low but in a position that didn’t required you to stretch like a rubber band. My back and torso felt relaxed as I lowered myself into the seat with a satisfying sigh…
Typical of the S-series inline-Four engine, the powerplant idles with a symphony of its parts that produce forward motion. A soft tap on the gear lever engaged first gear while the clutch took up the power in a linear fashion.
Opening up the throttle past the halfway point predictably produced a forward thrust that turns your frown into an ear-to-ear grin. It pulls hard, oh yeah, but it doesn’t scare you like how some open-class naked sportbikes would.
We’ve ridden all bikes in the market that are equipped with quickshifters but BMW’s “shift assistant” still rules, if not technically then emotionally. Each shift was taken care of swiftly and more importantly, accurately without a harsh jolt. But it’s that signature “pop” from the exhaust that’ll get you. It soon became so addictive that you’d find yourself short-shifting through the gearbox just to enjoy the moment.
Oh yes, the shift assistant works for downshifts too. The engine doesn’t blip hard when you drop it down a cog but the engine’s electronics worked well in tandem with the slipper clutch to deliver jerk-free engagement without needing you to touch the clutch lever.
Forward motion was eerily linear, and the S 1000 R picked up speed so effortlessly that the only indication of speed is when you start to fly past traffic like someone had hit the pause button to freeze the world around you.
For more entertainment (or kicks), slow down to 60 km/h in sixth gear, then slam open the throttle. Some bikes we’ve ridden would judder like a Proton Saga taxi at this point. Instead, the S 1000 R seemed to create NOS from the air it sucked in and blasted forward. I BS you not. If you hold on to that throttle for a few more seconds, you’d be doing more than 200 km/h. Remember, 60 to 200 km/h in just a few seconds.
If going straight was impressive, you’d be fully sold when you hit the corners.
Heading down into the sharp right off-bridge from MEX to Bukit Jalil, the bike’s suspension had the tyres dig hard into the road. As soon as the front tyre pushed a little it was time to get back on the gas.
Cornering on the S 1000 R yielded its own sense of addiction: Starting from braking, the Brembos bit hard to a one fingered pull! The engine blipped itself during downshift “vroom,” “vroom.” Next, the wide handlebar translated my steering effort into leaning over instantly. Fourthly, the engine’s back torque (engine braking) was smoothly balanced to provide a smooth rolling speed in mid-corner. The exhaust gave a loud “POP” as I reached the apex and it was at this moment when the front tyre started to push, signaling throttle on. The bike responded to the continuous throttle action and started to stand up naturally. Soon, we blasted cleanly away from the corner while the left foot hooked another gear, and another, and another while relishing the accompanying pops and howl of the engine.
Instant gratification. You don’t even need to buy flowers, chocolates, expensive jewelry and a candlelit dinner for it.
It wasn’t just about going fast on the S 1000 R, otherwise there’s no point to BMW turning the S 1000 RR into this roadster.
The daily commute became fun since the bike had it all: Acceleration, brakes, light steering, agility and comfort (for a naked sportbike). It was also frugal on fuel if you ride at a sensible pace. The new S 1000 R exhibited a more gracious attitude in traffic, although it did feel like I was pressing the fast forward button on and off when I upped my aggression.
In all truth, the S 1000 R has become my favourite BMW S-series model. As much as I love the march of technology in motorcycles, I don’t mind having less of it. Furthermore, the S 1000 R’s limits are more easily attainable, especially for those who don’t ride regularly at the track. No, that didn’t mean you’ll outgrow it, instead you may accept it as the bike’s charming side and appreciate the fact that you’re a good rider on a good bike, instead of having a good bike but unsure if you’re a good rider.
I’m not knocking on the S 1000 RR and S 1000 XR but the R is also more practical for everyday use especially for someone with short legs like me.
Anything that I didn’t like? Yes, of course. The signature S 1000 buzz is there but you’ll get used to it.
In closing, the protagonist took that low-tech, stripped-down sparring robot which they found in the junkyard all the way to the top to meet the champion robot. The protagonist’s robot so nearly beat the super-advanced champion, by taking advantage of the latter’s technological advantages when they turned out to be disadvantages.
Hey, everyone loves an underdog. Just like the 2018 BMW S 1000 R.

Bersempena dengan Pusingan Kelayakan peringkat Asia Tenggara, Malaysia BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2017, BMW Motorrad Malaysia akan memperkenalkan tiga model serba baru.
Model-model ini adalah BMW G 310 R, BMW S 1000 R, dan juga BMW R 1200 GS Adventure.
Pusingan kelayakan peringkat Asia Tenggara, Malaysia yang akan diadakan di Litar Motocross Sepang merupakan laluan ke pertandingan motosikal Enduro amatur yang tersohor di dunia.
BMW Motorrad Malaysia Unveils the All-New BMW G 310 R, the New BMW S 1000 R and BMW R 1200 GS Adventure at the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2017 South East Asia Qualifier Malaysia at the Sepang Motorcross Track
Road to the World’s Most Famous Amateur Enduro Motorcycle Challenge begins in Malaysia at the Sepang Motorcross Track.
BMW Motorrad Malaysia will introduce three new premium motorcycles – the All-New BMW G310R, the New BMW S1000R and the BMW R1200GS Adventure at the Malaysian leg of the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2017 South East Asia Qualifier over the weekend of Saturday, 12th and Sunday, 13th August 2017 at the Sepang Motorcross Track.
The world-class adventure motorcycle competition will also select one winner from 40 Malaysians who will be carrying the pride of the country alongside two other riders as part of a team representing South East Asia at the BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy competition in Mongolia next year.
The All-New BMW G 310 R – The BMW roadster under 500 cc.
One cylinder, low weight and featuring powerful dynamic performance, the All-New BMW G 310 R embodies the pure essence of a BMW roadster. Pragmatic in the best sense of the word, the premium motorcycle from BMW offers precisely what is needed for dynamic performance and comfort both in the city or out on the small roads.
Embodying the true concept of riding pleasure, the new roadster introduces a newly developed 313 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with four valves and two overhead camshafts together with electronic fuel injection. The capacity of 313 cc results from a bore of 80 millimetres and a stroke of 62.1 millimetres.
The striking feature of the engine is its backward-tilted cylinder in open-deck design with the cylinder head turned by 180 degrees, making it possible to position the intake tract at the front, viewed in the direction of travel. With an output of 25 kW (34 hp) at 9 500 rpm and a maximum torque of 28 Nm at 7 500 rpm, the engine of the new G 310 R is a very dynamic partner in conjunction with the low unladen weight of 158.5 kilograms.
In terms of suspension, the new G 310 R offers a torsionally stiff, highly robust tubular steel frame in grid structure with bolt-on rear frame. The front wheel suspension is taken care of by a solid upside-down fork while at the rear there is an aluminium swinging arm in conjunction with a spring strut that is mounted on it directly.
Like all BMW motorcycles, the new G 310 R is fitted with ABS as standard. It combines a powerful brake system with 2-channel ABS. At the front wheel, a single-disc brake with radially bolted 4-piston fixed caliper and a brake disc diameter of 300 millimetres ensures powerful and stable deceleration. At the rear, this function is performed by a 2-piston floating caliper in conjunction with a 240-millimetre brake disc. The G 310 R instrument cluster has a large liquid crystal display that offers excellent clarity and a wide range of information.
Personifying the bridge between BMW Motorrad’s past and BMW’s future-oriented engineering, the all-new BMW G 310 R has had its engine mapping redefined to meet the requirements of the EU4 pollutant class. Its fuel consumption stands at 3.3 litres per 100 kilometres. Concurrently, tank ventilation is improved with the introduction of a closed-loop 3-way catalytic converter.
The All-New BMW G 310 R will be officially launched at the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy South East Asia Qualifier Malaysia and will be available at all authorised BMW Motorrad dealerships from the following week onwards.
The New BMW S 1000 R – The Dynamic Roadster Benchmark in the Segment.
The New BMW S 1000 R features the well-proven 999 cc in-line 4-cylinder engine. Having been adapted to meet all EU4 requirements, the new BMW Motorrad now has an output of 121 kW (165 hp) at 11 000 rpm (previously: 118 kW (160 hp) at 11 000 rpm), 3 kW (5 hp) higher than before, and weighs 2 kg less (previously 207 kg DIN unladen weight, now 205 kg DIN unladen weight). The permitted gross weight is still 407 kg, which means an increase in payload of two kilograms.
Further development of the engine has included an optimised intake and exhaust sound. In conjunction with the standard HP titanium rear silencer, the new S 1000 R now produces an even more potent sound.
The BMW S 1000 R now is made available in two new additional colours of Catalano Grey and Racing Red/Black Storm. Living up to BMW Motorrad’s future-oriented engineering, the dynamic roadster now weighs 205kg, which is 2kg lighter than its predecessor. This shed in weight arrives courtesy of the standard-fitted HP Titanium rear silencer. The New BMW S 1000 R now also features vibration-decoupled handlebars, which reduces the smallest vibrations being passed to the handlebar ends. This promotes better ride handling, comfort and pleasure.
For optimum adaptation to the rider’s personal preferences and area of use, the new S 1000 R now provides two riding modes as well as ASC (Automatic Stability Control) as standard features. With the riding modes “Rain” and “Road”, the S 1000 R can be adapted in power and torque delivery as well as in terms of the control response of the Race ABS and ASC to road surface conditions. This is a significant safety bonus when riding on changing surfaces in particular.
Vibration-decoupled handlebars ensure further increased comfort in the new S 1000 R. These effectively reduce vibrations from being passed onto the handlebar ends. The upper fork bridge was also newly designed in this connection.
The even more dynamic appearance of the new S 1000 R is reflected in a new colour concept comprising two colour schemes: Racing Red/Blackstorm and Catalano Grey. In Racing Red/Blackstorm, the new S 1000 R highlights its sporty, aggressive character, at the same time underscoring its leading position in terms of performance in the dynamic roadster segment. The Catalano Grey colour, meanwhile, gives the new S 1000 R a particularly powerful and potent appearance, interpreting the combination of technology and dynamic performance in a strikingly masculine way.
The New BMW R 1200 GS Adventure – More Supremacy on All Terrain.
Much like all the BMW Motorrad models which features the liquid cooled boxer engines, the New BMW R 1200 GS Adventure has also been developed with a judder damper on the transmission output shaft. The new feature includes a revised selector drum actuator, transmission shafts and transmission shaft bearing as well as an OBD indicator lamp in the cockpit.
For the first time, the “Triple Black” – the special version of the BMW R 1200 GS has established its own tradition and the name says it all. BMW Motorrad Malaysia is responding to a wish expressed by many customers by bringing out this impressive travel enduro in a virtually all-black finish.
The central fuel tank cover, storage compartment lid and front mudguard in Blackstorm together with fuel tank side panels in Dark Slate give the legendary travel enduro a strikingly masculine look. Powerful technical accentuations are provided by the front and rear frame in Agate Grey in combination with the black engine, gearbox and swinging arm.
A new black seat with striking GS embossment on the passenger section rounds off the striking appearance of the new R 1200 GS “Triple Black”.
