It’s a performance monster, but BMW’s M 1000 R M Competition could be even better.
This BMW’s spread of performance is immense as I crest yet another rise along Angeles Crest Highway in Southern California, a serene picture to the battle happening underneath me. At 80 mph, in sixth gear, I wrench the throttle open and the M flickers its traction control, a faint hint at the twist grip letting me know the race-spec electronics package is there to save me from myself. That’s at 80 mph . . . in sixth gear . . . not 50 mph in second gear.
On the road, this isn’t so bad, as you’re not approaching the kind of speed and rpm that would normally be reserved for the track, at least I hope not. However, on a closed circuit, this dead zone will become a source of frustration as you want the motor to spin up as fast as possible, and here, it’s gone to lunch.
The M 1000 R M Competition runs electronically adjustable Marzocchi forks and shock running under BMW’s Dynamic Damping Control , which changes the suspension’s behavior in real time. There’s different base suspension-stiffness levels for each of the various ECU modes, and you can feel the bike soften immediately when going from the Race Pro mode back to the Road setting. Regardless, even in the softest setting, this is a stiffly sprung motorcycle.
