While most manufacturers continue to opt for discreet or competition-inspired decorations, BMW Motorrad UK has decided to take a completely different path. Yes, the British subsidiary has presented a super exclusive limited series of the BMW S 1000 RR, S 1000 R and S 1000 XR characterized by a very unusual range of colors, which makes these Germans true eye-catchers on the road. Because the truth is that they could perfectly appear in the next installment of GTA 6.
The objective of bmw It is very clear, they want to offer a different alternative for those looking for a high-performance motorcycle that is also practically impossible to confuse with any other. And there will be no shortage of reasons…
Three unprecedented colors for three very different BMW models
As we are telling you, and we will not tire of repeating, these special editions for the United Kingdom revolve around 3 new paint finishes that stand out for their intensity, personality, uniqueness and emotionality. That without a doubt.
The great protagonist, as it could not be otherwise, is the BMW S 1000 RRavailable in the eye-catching Star Bright Pink (bright pink) and in Speed Yellow (speed yellow). This German machine, one of the references in the superbike segment, thus receives a completely different image from the usual sporty decoration of BMW Motorrad. And it becomes a true whim within the reach of very few, as we will tell you later…
For its part, the BMW S 1000 R It can also be purchased with these two shades, while the BMW S 1000 XR bet exclusively on the elegant Riviera Bluean intense blue that also breaks with the traditional schemes of the model.
BMW Ultra Limited Production
Beyond the new colors, another of the great attractions of this initiative is its very high exclusivity. In fact, BMW UK will only only manufacture:
- 10 units of the BMW S 1000 RR in Speed Yellow.
- 5 units of the BMW S 1000 RR in Star Bright Pink.
- 5 BMW S 1000 R in yellow.
- 1 BMW S 1000 R in pink.
- 10 BMW S 1000 XR in Riviera Blue.
As we can imagine, it is a very small production intended for the British market, which makes these versions especially exclusive pieces for collectors or fans who want to differentiate themselves. In addition, they also arrive with specific equipment.
In fact, customization is not limited only to the aesthetic section. The S 1000 RR This edition includes the Performance package, the passenger package and a smoked screen as standard, adding both components aimed at sports use and practical elements for everyday use.
In the case of the S 1000 Rthe equipment includes a sports silencer, mirrors installed on the ends of the handlebars, tinted screen, passenger package and the Teleservices system of bmwwhich allows maintenance information to be sent to the authorized dealer.
Finally, the adventurous version, the S 1000 XRis offered with the TE finish and incorporates a sports exhaust, LED fog lights, a tinted windscreen and the aforementioned Teleservices system.
Of course, all this has a premium for exclusivity
The new special paints cost an additional £1,500, a figure roughly equivalent to 1,750 euros about the usual price of each motorcycle. As we have been able to know, BMW Motorrad UK is already accepting orders for these versions, which will only be available until the very few planned units are sold out. That is, minutes for sale.
But will bold colors return to sports bikes?
During the nineties and early 2000s it was common to find sports motorcycles with very striking color combinations. However, in recent years the trend has evolved towards more sober finishes, dominated by black, gray or tones inspired by competition.
With this ultra limited edition, bmw It recovers part of that carefree spirit and shows that there is still room for different proposals within the high-performance motorcycle segment.
