Out of all the supersport motorcycles I’ve had the joy of riding, the BMW S 1000 RR just has to be one of my favorites. It’s a cutting-edge machine with way more power than anyone has any business having on the street. And yet, for some reason, it’s very well-mannered—even almost easy to ride.
It’s also a gorgeous machine that’ll have onlookers breaking their necks to have a look—and that’s in its base trim model. The bling and performance only get better as you move up the food chain. Of course, there’s the M 1000 RR, the street-legal homologation superbike that’s the star of the show of the WorldSBK. But if for some reason you’re not satisfied with all the fancy stuff on the M 1000 RR, BMW’s got you covered with an ultra-limited version of the bike dubbed the Champion Edition.
As you’ve probably guessed, the M 1000 RR Champion Edition was designed to celebrate BMW Motorrad’s championship in the 2024 season of the WorldSBK. The bike was piloted by none other than Toprak Razgatlioglu, a hooligan and stuntman merely cosplaying as a pro superbike racer. I mean, the dude even pulled a stoppie across the finish line a few years ago. You know, just to prove that he could.
