BMW Motorrad 2027 upgrades and UK promos
Entities: Nürburgring Nordschleife · BMW S 1000 RR · BMW AG · Brembo
Overview
BMW’s 2027 programme continues to broaden its motorcycle range with further technical upgrades and market‑specific offers. The flagship M 1000 RR now receives a third‑generation M Motorsport aluminium‑cast chassis that saves roughly 1.3 kg and thins the frame walls by about 30 %. Standard equipment includes M Forged Wheels, with carbon‑fibre rims offered as an option, and the new M Track Packages I and II replace the former Competition kit. Across the line, the sport‑focused S 1000 RR gains a Style M Sport edition, while the R 1300 touring family and the K 1600 GT receive fresh colour finishes and equipment upgrades. The special‑edition R 12 S model and the Lava Orange Metallic colour are discontinued. In the United Kingdom, BMW Motorrad introduced a set of customer incentives: a £1,300 trade‑in contribution for purchases of the R 1300 GS, R 1300 GS Adventure or R 1300 RT; a £500 deposit contribution and 4.9 % APR for the S 1000 XR; and 0 % APR financing for the F 900 R and F 900 XR, with other models available up to 7.9 % APR. These promotions aim to make the adventure, touring and roadster motorcycles more accessible. The Indian subsidiary reports strong sales of the S 1000 RR, 900 GS/GSA and 1300 GS/GSA, and the F 450 GS continues to sell out quickly with export plans for Europe. No further 2027 announcements have emerged for the core GS adventure‑touring family, keeping speculation alive about a possible R 1350 GS later in 2027 or early 2028. A design patent filed in India confirms the 2027 S 1000 RR will be powered by a 215 hp (158 kW) engine, five horsepower more than the current model, retaining the integrated winglets, large central ram‑air intake and minimalist tail seen on the 2025 Concept RR.
