T
he age of homologation race specials
is well and truly here, and BMW has
been locked in this horsepower arms
race with archrivals Ducati ever since the
first M 1000 RR landed in 2022.
Over the years, the M has been gradu
-
ally more refined, to the point where it lured
Toprak Razgatlioglu to climb aboard and use
a version to walk the 2024 WorldSBK title.
This year, the M has come in for a few
nips and tucks, but it's not a full revolution to
the 2024 model. Under the skin sits BMW's
999cc inline four-cylinder ShiftCam motor,
with the U.S. version pumping out a claimed
205 hp (which is the same horsepower
number we had 12 months ago). However,
Europe gets 214 horsepower thanks to its
different emissions laws.
