2027 will bring more than just new colors
Character, re-imagined
New colors, new tech, new editions: For the 2027 model year, BMW Motorrad is bringing significantly more than just a fresh lick of paint to the streets. Color updates and graphics meet performance highlights from the world of racing. On top of that, there are new editions that create a new kind of character that can be felt in the design and equipment. Which version suits your tastes?
Born on the racetrack
The new M Motorsport frame of the BMW M 1000 RR
Straight from the WorldSBK to the streets: The BMW M 1000 RR will feature the new M Motorsport frame as standard for model year 2027. The high-tech frame, which is produced using a sand casting process, is 3.3 lbs lighter than the previous version and is clearly designed for optimal performance. Increased precision, quicker acceleration and a palpable boost to stability – racing technology without compromises.
The Edition M Sport
The BMW S 1000 RR Edition M Sport in Blackstorm metallic/M Motorsport
With the Edition M Sport, the S 1000 RR is edging noticeably closer towards the M 1000 RR, both in its presence and its vision. The Blackstorm metallic paintwork with striking graphics in the iconic Motorsport colors enhances its racing character. Performance and design highlights, such as the Dynamics and Race packages, as well as the M Carbon package and the M Billet pack, all come together to create an uncompromising total package.
New edition models for the Tourers
BMW K 1600 GTL Edition II
The BMW K 1600 GTL is being given a fresh new look in Imperial Blue Metallic with the Edition II. This gives a confident presence like never before. However, the focus is on the total package: Elaborate graphics create striking accents – in Monolith Metallic Matte for the GTL. Complemented by rim graphics, an Edition badge and particularly high-quality seats, we have created an Edition that rises head and shoulders above the rest of the series.
BMW K 1600 B and Grand America Edition II
The BMW K 1600 B Edition II and the BMW K 1600 Grand America Edition II have also been given a fresh lick of paint in Imperial Blue Metallic. For an even more confident ride and a striking silhouette. Elegant hand-drawn linework in Overcast white creates subtle accents and emphasizes the sophisticated character of the impressive Tourer.
A new look and an off-road upgrade
The exclusive Option 719 Hematite in the new Frozen Brooklyn Gray Metallic color scheme reinterprets the R 12 G/S in an entirely new way. Accents in Racing Red and Mineral Gray Metallic Matte enhance its striking character, as does the new red seat, which is designed to complement the frame perfectly. For all those not only looking for adventure, but also an exciting design.

The engine of the K 1600 Grand America is happy to go the extra mile. In this process, it reacts so precisely and confidently to your commands that you can already feel it looking forward to the next corner and or straight every time: this is how legendary smoothness and performance feel. Thanks to the revised engine control unit 160 hp rated output is achieved 1,000 rpm earlier while the increased maximum torque of 132.7 lbs-ft is now generated at 5,250 rpm.

The engine drag torque control (dynamic engine brake control) and Dynamic ESA help provide stability. And the Ride Modes are more focused for noticeably more riding fun – whether alone with a passenger.
