Key takeaways
- As the current lap record holder, set in 2023, BMW has plenty of pride in its TT successes.
- Even in slow-motion video, which you need to capture just how skilled these riders are at sliding their motorcycles through fast corners with zero room for error, it's heart-in-your-mouth action.
- It's based on the already insanely fast M1000 RR, equipped with the Competition Package, which will run up to a top speed of 195 mph.
Why this matters: an automotive development that could shape industry direction or buying decisions.
