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.

More than a bike – your bike. Your appearance counts
Relaxed cruising in total luxury, always keeping the horizon in sight: this is the world of the K 1600 B. Every moment, every impression counts in this vast expanse. And above all, it’s about the impression you leave behind.
Exclusive
Outstanding in any environment, whether its tight inner-city jungles or riding along endless landscapes: the K 1600 B Exclusive. Its paint in Mineral Gray Metallic Matte emphasizes its style and masterfully sets the scene.
Black Storm Metallic
This K 1600 B is distinguished by its clear lines. From the front-wheel cover to the engine spoiler and cases, the outline is a homogeneous unit in elegant black.
Edition II
In Imperial Blue Metallic, the K 1600 B unveils hidden depths. Accentuated by the hand-drawn linework in Overcast white, this Edition gains an elegant and confident aesthetic.
With the K 1600, you can always do a little more. Not only in terms of mileage. Thanks to extensive optional equipment and Original BMW Motorrad Accessories, you can turn the bagger into exactly the bike you want. Optionally benefit from the Comfort Package and Tour Package. The comfort package features Keyless Ride and Shift Assist Pro – for even more relaxed cruising. The Tour Package, for example, impresses with the audio system 2.0 or comfortable footboards. We have put together two equipment variants to inspire you.
Design code – typically bagger
The K 1600 B is proof that you can swim against the tide if things are streamlined. The elongated, typical bagger outline with its low rear section combines an elegant, casual character with a powerful presence. The entire bike has been fully geared towards you and your perfect tour: from things that are immediately obvious, such as the footboards, to the equipment you can only experience once you have taken a seat, such as the cockpit. It demonstrates a completely new design idiom: clear-cut and functional. The 10.25″ TFT color display now even features a hardened and anti-reflective cover lens for optimum readability. The K 1600 B leaves everything to you when it comes to experiencing the trip, yet nothing happens by chance.
Data & equipment
Can you measure a casual character in numbers? You can with the K 1600 B: thanks to its revamped engine control unit, it now develops the 160 hp nominal power an impressive 1,000 rpm earlier than before, while the increased maximum torque of 132.7 lbs-ft is already available at 5,250 rpm: for even more intensity, superior tractive force and a more powerful appearance. For every straight line, every overtaking maneuver, every bend – or just for you. In keeping with this, the Ride Modes have now been designed to be even more emotional, with the engine drag torque control (dynamic engine brake control) and Dynamic ESA providing the necessary stability. And all of this is as casual to handle as it sounds.
