BMW teases a new concept sportbike ahead of its global unveil on May 23. The silhouette hints at a fully-faired, track-focused design that could be a sharper version of the S1000RR.
BMW Motorrad has released a teaser of its upcoming concept sportbike, confirming a global unveiling set for May 23, 2025. The teaser, titled “The Quest for the Speed of Light”, was shared across BMW’s social media platforms and offers a shadowy glimpse of the bike’s silhouette.

The teaser reveals a fully-faired motorcycle with a low stance, sleek bodywork, and a sharp tail section. The design hints at a high-performance machine, possibly developed for the track. A flat fuel tank, new fairing panels, and a short tail unit distinguish it from the current BMW sportbikes.
Could This Be a New S1000RR Variant?
While the outline draws some comparisons to the S1000RR, subtle differences suggest it could either be a heavily revised version or a track-focused variant. There’s speculation that the new concept might include carbon fibre components and upgraded suspension and brakes, aimed at improving performance on closed circuits.

What to Expect
BMW hasn’t revealed any specifications yet. However, based on the teaser’s styling and positioning, the bike could either be a top-spec S1000RR or an all-new concept. If the model is road-legal, a launch in India could follow by late 2025, likely with a premium price tag.
BMW recently refreshed its larger motorcycles, including the R 1300 RT and R 1300 R, and this upcoming reveal is expected to be the brand’s next major announcement in the performance segment.
More details will be available at the official reveal later this month.
