In a teaser, BMW Motorrad is giving notice it is launching a new superbike on May 23. Whether this is a replacement model for the BMW Motorrad S1000RR and M1000RR, perhaps the successor to the HP4, or an entirely new model, remains to be seen.
What we can see from the video is aerodynamics will play a huge part in the new concept superbike. Considering BMW Motorrad’s world championship win in the 2024 World Superbike Championship, it would certainly be the right time to unveil a potential superbike for the upcoming seasons.
Notable in the video is the slightly flatter fuel tank, compared to the pronounced hump on the current model S1000RR/M1000RR. The tail piece is similarly diminutive, unlike the slightly longer tail fitted to BMW Motorrad’s superbike.
Carbon-fibre is very much in evidence, and it will be likely the concept superbike will be liberally covered in the lightweight material, going by its use on the M1000RR superbike. Gold anodised fork tubes are also visible, and we can expect to see Ohlins finest fitted.
