BMW Concept RR

When BMW Motorrad has an announcement to make, the company prefers to do so at iconic venues and during prestigious events. The Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este at the picturesque Lake Como is undoubtedly one of the automotive world's most exclusive venuesand this year, it serves as the perfect backdrop for a unique motorcycle world premiere.

At the prestigious Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on Lake Como, BMW Motorrad unveils its latest creation for the superbike segment: the BMW Motorrad Concept RR, an unrivaled performance statement in technology and design for the next generation of BMW Motorrad RR models. The timing couldn't be better: In 2024, Toprak Razgatlıolu clinched the first Superbike World Championship title for BMW with the M 1000 RRdominating with 18 season victories and a record-breaking streak of 13 consecutive wins. Markus Flasch, Head of BMW Motorrad: "Never before has BMW Motorrad provided such an early glimpse into a future generation of RR models. The BMW Motorrad Concept RR is a true masterpiece of our development team, both technically and in design language."

The atmosphere at Lake Como is unparalleled: From May 23 to 25, 2025, BMW Group Classic, in collaboration with the Hotel Villa d'Este, hosts the legendary Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Estea partnership that has been making automotive dreams come true for 20 years. Amidst classic automotive icons and the picturesque backdrop of Villa d'Este, BMW presented the Concept RR to an exclusive audience of motorcycle enthusiasts and collectors. The event itself exudes the same blend of tradition and innovation embodied by the Concept RR. Since its inception in 1929, the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este has stood for a unique combination of exquisite design, technical sophistication, and cultural heritage. A fitting stage for a motorcycle that could define the future of the superbike segment.

The motorcycle appears light and elegant. Hopefully, many of the beautiful and intricate elements will make it into the production model. The overall concept is coherent. It is unmistakably a BMW, yet visually a sportbike that breaks new ground. In its street version, the motorcycle is expected to deliver 220 horsepower. The production model will likely be showcased at EICMA and hopefully later at INTERMOT in Germany.

Unlike other manufacturers, this motorcycle is not built solely for racing. It will also be road-legal across Europe with current homologation standards, meaning it meets all the necessary regulations for street use. With the fresh world championship title in the bag and a concept bike that excites both technically and visually, BMW Motorrad makes a strong statement. The Concept RR demonstrates that the Munich team is ready for the next generation of superbikesand aims to set the benchmark.
