BMW is bringing a limited-edition M 1000 RR to America, with just 115 motorcycles available worldwide.
The Isle of Man TT is one of the most demanding motorcycle races in the world, and BMW Motorrad has created a special M 1000 RR to celebrate its long history with the event.
BMW announced in May that production of the M 1000 RR Limited Edition Isle of Man TT would be capped at just 115 motorcycles, matching the number of years the race has been running. Each bike carries a price of about $59,100 in other markets, but the few examples coming to the U.S. will be considerably cheaper.
American buyers will pay $50,000, excluding the destination charge. Pre-orders open in the U.S. on September 29, although BMW has not announced how long customers will have to wait for delivery.
The limited edition does not bring additional engine performance or major mechanical upgrades over the standard M 1000 RR. Instead, BMW has focused on exclusive styling, equipment and details aimed at collectors and racing fans.
The 999cc inline-four remains unchanged, producing 205 horsepower at 13,000 rpm and 83 lb-ft of torque at 11,100 rpm. The special edition builds on that performance with a much more distinctive appearance.
BMW fitted redesigned left- and right-side turn signals into the fairings, along with a black Alcantara seat, black swingarm and a rear wheel stand with mounting hardware.
The airbox cover is made from carbon fiber, while additional components feature BMW's M logo. A milled number on the top yoke identifies the motorcycle's position in the limited production run.
The aluminum fuel tank gets a Satin Chrome finish with special graphics, including imagery of the famous Mountain Course. The bike itself is finished in British Racing Green Matte with Isle of Man TT graphics and logos throughout.
Buyers also receive a dedicated M mat measuring 98 by 41 inches, finished with M and TT logos, along with a certificate of authenticity.
BMW says the special edition is intended to connect its Isle of Man racing heritage with the company's current M lineup.
BMW's TT history dates back to 1939, when Georg Meier won the Senior TT on a BMW RS 255 Kompressor. In 1976, Helmut Dähne and Hans-Otto Butenuth won the 1,000cc Production class on an R 90 S.
Michael Dunlop later added to BMW's TT success in 2014 with a victory on an S 1000 RR. Peter Hickman also scored multiple wins in the Superbike, Superstock and Senior TT races.
In 2023, Hickman rode an M 1000 RR in Superstock specification to the overall lap record on the TT Mountain Course. He completed the course in 16:36.115, averaging 136.358 mph.
In 2025, Davey Todd rode the same model to victory in the Superbike race. BMW's latest TT campaign was less dominant, however, with strong competition from Honda and Ducati resulting in second- and sixth-place finishes in Superbike and second, fourth and 10th in the Senior TT.
