BMW S 1000 RR Achieves 1000 Units Sales Milestone In India
BMW Motorrad has achieved a significant milestone of selling 1,000 units of its most successful performance sports bike, the BMW S 1000 RR, in India. The BMW S 1000 RR has been a favorite amongst speed enthusiasts ever since its launch in the country. The new BMW S 1000 RR was launched in India at the Auto Expo 2025 at an ex-showroom price of Rs 20.75 lakh. It has a 999cc engine that generates 210 hp at 13,750 rpm to ensure powerful propulsion. The maximum engine speed is 14,600 rpm. The airbox, as on the M RR, features variable intake funnels that optimise charge change and power generation, especially at high engine speeds. Talking about the highlights, the BMW S 1000 RR claims to have an extremely compact layout and super-sporty appeal that creates perfect harmony for the road and racetrack. The high windscreen, side winglets and partitioning of the lower triple clamp further optimise aerodynamics and help in maintaining the top speed. Another key point in optimizing aerodynamics is the area around the front wheel. The new RR features brake cooling ducts - known as Brake Ducts - in this area. The new M short-stroke throttle ensures relaxed throttle control and perfect handling without the need to reposition the hand or twist the wrist. BMW S 1000 RR celebrates 1000 unit sales in India Mr. Vikram Pawah, President and CEO, BMW Group India, said, "The BMW S 1000 RR is more than a superbike, it is a symbol of precision engineering and absolute performance. Crossing the 1,000 unit milestone in India underscores the S 1000 RR's immense popularity, whether on the road or track, where its exceptional performance delivers unparalleled power, agility, and adrenaline-pumping thrills. We are proud to see it become the preferred choice for motorcycling enthusiasts who demand nothing but the best." Mr. Varun Yadav from Delhi now holds the distinction of becoming the 1,000th BMW S 1000 RR owner in India. The motorcycle was handed over to Mr. Yadav by Mr. Shardenduu Chaturvedi, Director - BMW Motorrad India, and Mr. Manish Gupta, Dealer Principal, Lutyens Motorrad, at an exclusive ceremony. The glittering ceremony was made special with the participation of friends, family, and the passionate BMW Motorrad India riding community.

BMW R 1300 R Titan Custom Bike Breaks Cover, Here's What It Gets
BMW Motorrad has taken the wraps off the R 1300 R Titan custom bike. Though the motorcycle is not for sale, the brand took the project for internal experimentation. A group of BMW Motorrad employees had the opportunity to bring this passion to life. Philipp Ludwig served as project manager, vehicle designer Andreas Martin, Theresa Stukenbrock as colour and graphic designer, and prototype builders Paul Summerer and Thomas Becker, who brought their experience and passion to the project. BMW R 1300 R Titan Exhaust The BMW R 1300 R Titan incorporates the basic design elements of the standard bike into a more stylised and aggressive appeal. The characteristic lines of the BMW R 1300 R tank and fairing are reflected in the monocoque typical of racing machines, and the striking air duct panel of the standard machine continues the dynamics of the "Titan" in an exaggerated sense. Also, the weight is pushed over the front wheel to keep it on the tarmac for as long as possible when starting off. Also Read: Bajaj Pulsar N160 Now Gets A Single Seat, Dual Channel ABS Version; Check Deets The underpinnings of the BMW R 1300 R Titan have a low profile on the tarmac, supported by a specially manufactured Wilbers chassis with a long swinging arm, a nitrous oxide bottle sits between the two titanium rear silencers, and more. Also, the brand claims that the gears slot into place precisely, and the Magura HC3 brake lever recaptures the released energy after the finish line, decelerating the bike to a stop. Beneath the BMW Titan's aggressive silhouette lies the familiar 1300cc boxer engine from the R 1300 R, originally rated at 145 hp and 149 Nm. But thanks to radical custom upgrades including a nitrous oxide injection system and titanium exhaust, the Titan unleashes a significantly boosted performance that takes this beast well beyond stock limits.

BMW Just Unveiled a Bonkers New Superbike With a Nitrous Oxide Power Boost
BMW continues to use its concepts as an opportunity to show off. The German marque's motorcycle division, BMW Motorrad, has just unveiled an outrageous new concept called the Titan. The futuristic prototype features a super aggressive design and a nitrous oxide cannister for a (theoretical) performance boost. More from Robb Report Meet Bentley's All-Electric EXP 15 Concept, a Majestic and Menacing Vision of the Future A Modern Home in Jackson Hole's Exclusive Snake River Sporting Club Lists for $10 Million A Zen-Like Hamptons Estate Inspired by Tadao Ando Lists for $19 Million The Titan is based on the new R 1300 R, which launched earlier this year. The production model is classified as a sport tourer, but the concept has the look of a full-on superbike. It's much more streamlined than its real-world counterpart, with the lack of clunky cladding meaning that its Wilbers chassis, powertrain, and extra-long swinging arm are on full display. The bike also features a sharper front cow with a razor-thin front lamp, an intimidating titanium exhaust system, and a video game-like livery that manages to work in all of BMW's trademark colors. The company has built its fair share of sporty bikes over the years, but the Titan takes things to another level. It makes sense that BMW Motorrad would want to highlight the Titan's powertrain, of course. The bike, like the R 1300 R, is powered by the company's most powerful boxer engine yet. Here, that mill, which already produces 140 hp and 110 ft lbs of torque, is also accompanied by a nitrous oxide bottle. The press release announcing the prototype is short of performance numbers—as tends to be the case with concepts—but does promise that the addition results in 'extra power' going forward. We can't be sure, but it wouldn't be all that surprising if the Titan is capable of bettering the R 1300 R's 3.4-second zero-to-62 mph time and 124 mph top speed. Now, of course, the question is: will BMW Motorrad actually build the Titan? The press release makes no mention of whether there are any plans to put the futuristic superbike in production. And while we wouldn't hold our breath, it's not impossible either. The motorcycle's sister company, plain old BMW, has shown a willingness to put its more head-turning concepts, like the Skytop roadster and Speedtop shooting brake, into production.
