BMW S 1000 RR Gets The Euro 5 Treatment

The update also brings with it a new Black Storm Metallic livery

• The S 1000 RR is available in three variants in India.
• It’s powered by a 999cc inline four-cylinder motor that makes 207PS, 8PS more than its predecessor.
• The new colour is expected to be launched in India soon.

The German marque’s litre-class offering has made its final transition to meet Euro 5 emission norms. BMW always likes to throw in a little extra with each update and the S 1000 RR is not different. The update reels in a new paint scheme giving customers a total of three colour options: the standard red, Pro M Sport with HP Motorsport racing colours, and the new Black Storm Metallic livery. The new colour is expected to be launched in India in the next couple of months.

The bike draws power from a 999cc inline four-cylinder motor that keeps up with the 200PS+ club with 207 ponies and 113Nm of peak torque. Dial in a massive 11kg weight advantage over the previous-gen model and you have a bike that just flies. Transmission duties are handled by a 6-speed gearbox with a bi-directional quickshifter.
