The current S1000RR (above) has been around since 2019 and will get updates for 2023 It’s hard to believe that it’s nearly 15 years since BMW took its first step into the four-cylinder superbike arena by unveiling the S1000RR and even the current version – complete with its unique-in-class ShiftCam variable valve timing and lift system – is nearly four years old. Those dates mean it should come as no surprise that there’s an update in the works and a revised version of the S1000RR is expected to be unveiled in the next couple of months. While there’s no official word from BMW about the bike, we’ve had sight of documents that show some of the changes we can expect from the machine, including an increase in power and chassis alterations that take their cue from the higher-spec M1000RR homologation machine. Tweaks to ShiftCam four-cylinder engine will add 2.5hp to next year’s bike Engine-wise, the 2023 S1000RR’s ShiftCam four-cylinder is essentially similar to the current model’s, but there are tweaks to boost power a fraction. At the moment, the standard S1000RR makes 204bhp (152kW, or 207PS), while the M1000RR has 209hp (156kW, 212PS). For 2023, the base model will split the difference between them, gaining 2.5hp (2kW) for a total of 206.5bhp (154kW, 209.4PS). It achieves the extra top end performance by shifting its power peak higher in the rev range, up from 13,500rpm to 13,750rpm – although that’s still some way short of the 14,500rpm peak of the M1000RR version. Although we’ve yet to see images of the 2023 bike, it doesn’t seem that there will be a lot of visual changes. Type-approved components including the exhaust are remaining unaltered, and the overall dimensions of length, width and height are the same as the 2022 model, suggesting the bodywork isn’t getting any major revisions. We could imagine the M1000RR’s winglets – claimed to give up to 16.3kg of downforce – will migrate to the base model, though. The M1000RR’s winglets could make an appearance on the standard S1000RR next year One element of the M1000RR (below) that is definitely heading for the standard S1000RR is its extended wheelbase. While the current S1000RR clocks in at 1441mm, the M1000RR has a longer chain and revised sprockets – with a larger rear sprocket to improve acceleration – which results in the rear wheel being 16mm further back for a 1457mm wheelbase. Identical changes are expected on the 2023 S1000RR, which has the same wheelbase as the M1000RR and, despite its additional power, a fractionally lower top speed than the current S1000RR, dropping from 190mph to 188mph thanks to the shorter final drive ratio. There’s no change to the bike’s weight, which remains an impressive 197kg wet, and at the moment it’s unknown whether the additional power of the 2023 model will be matched by upgrades to the suspension and brakes.

Attention has been paid to aerodynamics as well as the engine, suspension and chassis package, and electronic riding suite. New for 2023 on the S1000RR are the winglets on the redesigned front fairing and a new, lighter and sportier-looking rear section. Colour options for the S1000RR next year are Blackstorm metallic, Style Passion in Racing Red non-metallic and the racing-oriented Lightwhite non-metallic/BMW M. In the engine room, the new S1000RR still carries the inline four-cylinder of the current model, but tweaked to produce 210 hp at 13,750 rpm, 3 hp more than previous. A peak torque of 113 Nm comes in at 11,000 rpm with a maximum engine speed set at 14,600 rpm.
 For the aerodynamics setup on the S1000RR, the new winglets provide more downforce during acceleration and pushing the front wheel down on the tarmac while the taller windscreen gives the rider better protection at high speeds. The S1000RR’s tendency to wheelie is reduced, allowing for later braking and increased cornering stability. The addition of Brake Slide Assist and Slide Control allows for riders to now slide the S1000RR into corners using one of two preset drift angles for the traction control system when accelerating out of bends. Using the steering angle sensor, the rear wheel is allowed to slip when braking into or accelerating out of a corner, enabling rear wheel drift until the preset limit is reached and traction control intervenes.
Updates for the frame include the steering head angle reduced by half-a-degree while the triple clamp offset is reduced by 3 mm with several openings added in the frame itself for increased lateral flexibility. This has the benefit of better riding precision, increased handling accuracy and clearer feedback from the front wheel while the M Chassis Kit is standard with adjustable swinging arm pivot point and raised rear end. Changes to the tail of the S1000RR include a USB charging port and shorter number plate holder along with a lightweight BMW ‘M’ battery. The rear wiring harness is now optimised to delete the tail light and turn signals for racing purposes. Coming with diverse and extensive experience in heavy engineering, Mohan enjoys making anything with wheels go fast, especially motorcycles. His weapon of choice is the Desmoquattro engine, and he has a penchant for anything with a dash of Italian design. Strangely enough, he insists he's a slow rider. Previous Post: Honda CR-V generasi keenam dilihat diuji di Thailand sekali lagi — ditawarkan dalam versi turbo dan hibrid? Which bike is better than S1000RR?Hayabusa vs S 1000 RR. What does HP4 stand for?Exclusive, expensive and oh so desirable, the HP4 (High Performance four cylinder) remains a stand-out model in BMW's history and as well as being sublime to ride is probably a decent investment as it is quite likely to hold its value in the coming years. And maybe even increase...
Is the BMW S1000RR the fastest bike?The S1000RR also trumps the Panigale 1299 to 180 mph by around 2 seconds but loses out to the formidable Ducati Panigale V4 by almost 1.5 seconds. Top speed is typical of most litre bikes at 191 mph but unrestricted could possibly nudge 200 mph.
Is a HP4 a S1000RR?In 2013 the bike did not receive updates to the same extent as the 2012 bike. However, BMW introduced the HP4 variant, a more track-oriented version of the standard S1000RR.
