BMW S 1000 RR Achieves 1000 Units Sales Milestone In India
BMW Motorrad has achieved a significant milestone of selling 1,000 units of its most successful performance sports bike, the BMW S 1000 RR, in India. The BMW S 1000 RR has been a favorite amongst speed enthusiasts ever since its launch in the country. The new BMW S 1000 RR was launched in India at the Auto Expo 2025 at an ex-showroom price of Rs 20.75 lakh. It has a 999cc engine that generates 210 hp at 13,750 rpm to ensure powerful propulsion. The maximum engine speed is 14,600 rpm. The airbox, as on the M RR, features variable intake funnels that optimise charge change and power generation, especially at high engine speeds. Talking about the highlights, the BMW S 1000 RR claims to have an extremely compact layout and super-sporty appeal that creates perfect harmony for the road and racetrack. The high windscreen, side winglets and partitioning of the lower triple clamp further optimise aerodynamics and help in maintaining the top speed. Another key point in optimizing aerodynamics is the area around the front wheel. The new RR features brake cooling ducts - known as Brake Ducts - in this area. The new M short-stroke throttle ensures relaxed throttle control and perfect handling without the need to reposition the hand or twist the wrist. BMW S 1000 RR celebrates 1000 unit sales in India Mr. Vikram Pawah, President and CEO, BMW Group India, said, "The BMW S 1000 RR is more than a superbike, it is a symbol of precision engineering and absolute performance. Crossing the 1,000 unit milestone in India underscores the S 1000 RR's immense popularity, whether on the road or track, where its exceptional performance delivers unparalleled power, agility, and adrenaline-pumping thrills. We are proud to see it become the preferred choice for motorcycling enthusiasts who demand nothing but the best." Mr. Varun Yadav from Delhi now holds the distinction of becoming the 1,000th BMW S 1000 RR owner in India. The motorcycle was handed over to Mr. Yadav by Mr. Shardenduu Chaturvedi, Director - BMW Motorrad India, and Mr. Manish Gupta, Dealer Principal, Lutyens Motorrad, at an exclusive ceremony. The glittering ceremony was made special with the participation of friends, family, and the passionate BMW Motorrad India riding community.

BMW F 450 GS Spied Testing; Himalayan Rival Getting Ready For Launch?
Yes, we all have seen the BMW F 450 GS concept first at EICMA 2024 and then at Auto Expo 2025, in India, and now a test mule has been spotted, well testing in India, before the motorcycle is launched towards the end of 2025. While the silhouette largely stays similar to the concept, the spy shots reveal new and interesting details about the upcoming 450 cc adventure motorcycle. To start off, the test motorcycle was seen with a 19-inch alloy wheel up front and a 17-inch alloy at the rear, shod with dual-purpose rubber. The motorcycle is wearing full camouflage and has a pillion on-board along with the rider. What is also noticeable is the top box, which is likely carrying testing equipment. The exhaust is mounted low and the test mule is also seen having saddlebags. The twin header pipes confirm the model, which is the F 450 GS. The motorcycle will have a 450 cc parallel-twin engine, which is said to make 48 hp and well, the concept weighed in at just 175 kg. The production model will be heavier, but not by a significant margin. BMW is likely to offer features like adjustable suspension, electronic rider aids, disc brakes at either end, Bluetooth/smartphone connectivity, a fully digital TFT console and full LED lighting. The BMW F 450 GS will be manufactured at TVS Motor's plant in Hosur. What is also interesting that BMW Motorrad India has currently stopped the sales of the G 310 GS, which means that the F 450 GS will be the entry point in BMW's adventure motorcycle range and will likely be priced between Rs. 4.5 to Rs. 5 lakh (ex-showroom). Once launched, the F 450 GS will go up against KTM 390 Adventure, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and the Honda NX500.
