BMW Motorrad's new M 1000 RS packs 218 horsepower in Europe but "only" 205 hp in the US due to noise regulations. Even so, its power-to-weight ratio is impressive. Here’s a quick reminder that not everything with an M badge has four wheels.
BMW’s M1000R was hardly short of horsepower. The new M1000RS takes things a step further, dropping the full-power M1000RR superbike engine into a naked bike and adding a generous helping of carbon fibre and titanium. Just 1,000 will be built, and BMW is claiming…
BMW built motorcycles before it built cars. Its first, the R 32 of 1923, used a horizontally opposed twin with the cylinders sticking out into the breeze to stay cool, and that boxer engine has been the brand's signature ever since, as recognizable as the kidney grille on a 3 Series. A century on, BMW Motorrad builds touring machines, superbikes, retro roadsters, scooters and, above all, the adventure bikes that made the roundel a fixture on dirt roads from Patagonia to Mongolia.
The pivotal moment came in 1980 with the R 80 G/S, a boxer twin with long-travel suspension that more or less created the big adventure bike. Its GS descendants became BMW's best sellers, helped along by Long Way Round, the motorcycle travel series that turned a pair of GS models into television stars. The S 1000 RR superbike proved Munich could also build a screaming inline-four, and the K-series, RT tourers and R nineT retro roadster widened the audience. Owners praise the engineering, comfort and electronics; critics talk about prices, option packages and the cost of servicing.
BMW's reach has grown at both ends. At the top sit the big boxer GS, the RT and the S 1000 RR and M 1000 models; at the bottom, the G 310 singles and the newer F 450 twins, built for younger riders and price-sensitive markets, with the 310s made in India by partner TVS Motor. The CE 04 and CE 02 show the brand's electric thinking for city riders. Rivals include Ducati, KTM, Triumph and Honda depending on the class, and reveals, special editions, recalls and road tests fill the feed.
A century of boxer twins from Munich, the R 80 G/S that invented adventure riding, the S 1000 RR superbike and the small bikes built with India's TVS.
