BMW has bestowed its flagship liter-class sportbike, the S 1000 RR, with some minor refinements for the 2023 model year. Already considered as one of the most potent players in the 1,000cc supersport game, it’s hard to imagine just how much better—in a practical sense—one could make the BMW S 1000 RR even better. Nevertheless, super sportbikes have always defied the conventions of practicality, and that’s why a lot of us love them.
The 2023 BMW S 1000 RR has already debuted in multiple markets, including the U.S., where it carries a starting price tag of $17,895. In India, the new superbike is set to hit the market in 2023, where it’ll have a starting price of Rs 2,025,000, which makes out to about $24,500 USD. As you move up the ladder, the Pro version retails for a steeper Rs 2,215,000, or about $26,800 USD, and the range-topping Pro M Sport variant fetches an eye-watering Rs 2,445,000, or approximately $29,584 USD. Naturally, bikes of this caliber are much more expensive in markets like India, where they’re heavily taxed, and the import costs are much higher.
