BMW M1000R Gets New ‘Dynamic Design’, S1000 R Receives More Power

BMW’s attempts at taking the naked motorcycle scene to the next level has not disappointed after it took the covers off its all-new M1000 R and S1000 R models.

Along with brand-new M1000 RR (has gained 6bhp more than the previous M1000 RR) and S1000 RR superbike models, BMW’s naked range has also undergone changes for 2025, as the M1000 R features a new ‘dynamic design’ thanks to its revised dual-flow LED headlight which is derived from the M1000 RR. It also gains the M logo through the air intake, separating the headlights.

The new M1000 R comes in three colourways, the first being a Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport pattern while a new White Aluminium Metallic Matt option is also available. In the M Competition package, the White Aluminium Metallic Matt colourway is again available alongside the colour scheme Blackstorm metallic/M Motorsport.

No matter which paint scheme the bike is bought in, it will feature the rear frame and swingarm of the new model in Platinum Grey Metallic colour.

Again derived from the M1000 RR, the R model has a re-developed traction control system which is aimed at improving the short-stroke throttle feeling in Race mode. Regarding the bike’s engine, everything remains the same as the previous model, meaning it keeps its four-cylinder, four-stroke power unit and produces 210bhp which is just eight shy of the M1000 RR.

The new M1000 R again makes 83.3Ib ft of torque while the suspension comprises a 45mm upside-down telescopic fork, with electronic self-adjusting DDC Dynamic Damping Control. The rear suspension set-upfeatures an aluminium twin-sided swingarm, DDC Dynamic Damping Control (central shock absorber), adjustable spring preload, rebound and compression stages that are electronically adjustable.

The brand-new S1000 R also gets a new dual-flow LED headlight and has an increase in power of 5bhp compared to the previous incarnation. The S1000 R’s inline-four engine produces a total 170bh.

Three colour schemes are available once again, with those including the base variant in Blackstorm Metallic, the Sport model variant in Bluefire/Mugiallo Yellow, and in combination with the M package a Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport option.

Other features of the new S1000 includes the new-and-improved engine drag torque control (MSR) with configurable ‘Engine Brake’, a short licence plate holder, a USB-C charging socket under the seat, and the intelligent emergency call E-Call.

The M1000 R will cost £19,990 while the new 2025 S1000 R is over £6K cheaper - £13,760.
