BMW Unveils One-Off R 1300 R 'TITAN' Motorcycle
Summary BMW Motorradhas revealed the R 1300 R 'TITAN', a brutal, beautifully aggressive sprint racer crafted by a select group of passionate employees from its design and engineering team. Led by project manager Philipp Ludwig, this one-off machine reimagines the standard BMW R 1300 R as a race-focused beast with exaggerated proportions and race-spec hardware. Built around the 1300cc boxer engine, the 'TITAN' features a custom monocoque body, forged carbon elements and a striking metallic blue graphic design that evokes a sense of motion even at a standstill. Its sharp front-heavy stance and aggressively elevated tail emphasize explosive starts and aerodynamic efficiency. A nitrous system, integrated under the rear seat between dual Akrapovič titanium exhausts, provides an extra burst of power, delivering high-speed acceleration for short-distance drag runs. The team also enlisted Wilbers for a custom hard-tuned chassis and Akrapovič for a bespoke dual-flow exhaust system. A Magura HC3 brake lever ensures controlled deceleration, while the footrests are pushed far back to provide the ideal racing posture. The BMW R 1300 R 'TITAN' may never hit production, but it stands as a dramatic showcase of the brand's engineering excellence and passion for high-performance design.

BMW Motorrad Unveils Concept RR Superbike at Villa d'Este
Summary BMW Motorradhas pulled the covers off its boldest superbike vision yet at the 2025Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este: theBMWMotorrad Concept RR. Inspired by the championship-winning M 1000 RR piloted by Toprak Razgatlıoğlu, the Concept RR offers over 230 hp from a water-cooled inline four-cylinder engine and transfers BMW's World Superbike (WSBK) racing dominance directly to the street. Built with cutting-edge carbon and aluminum components, the bike is designed for maximum lightweight performance and aerodynamic precision. From the compact ventilated fairing to the sculpted tail section with a glowing RR emblem, every detail screams speed. Integrated winglets, advanced traction control and engine braking systems borrowed from the M 1000 RR complete the package. BMW also debuted the Concept RR LTD jacket alongside the bike, a limited-edition collaboration with MEINDL crafted from fine calf Nappa leather. Only 50 will be made. Markus Flasch, Head of BMW Motorrad, called it a 'true masterpiece' and the clearest expression yet of the brand's commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance, design and technology. The Concept RR marks a new chapter for the next generation of BMW superbikes — track-ready but built for the road.
