For what it's worth, my dealer's sales manager, with whom I've dealt for the past decade, just informed me that BMW is cutting production for 2023. Could explain lack of news.
Well well well. He has decided to grace us with his presence.

Rumors floating around that 2023 the RR is discontinued and the M1000 is the way forward. Also as they did not show the 2023 colours for the RR. I think the opposite, its going to be an update and they are holding it off. No way they stop making them. Too many are sold to stop and the price point of a M is too high. But people argue Honda did it.

I asked the dealer if I could order a 23 model. He said yes. He didn't have info on it. The aus site has the RR removed in the configurator. UK site still has it. I'd be surprised if they discontinued it. Someone said the M 1000 will only exist. I said not at that price point. They said well Honda did it. Personally I reckon they are holding off because its an update. Likely to release at Eicma or Intermot. I think its too early to be pulling the pin on liter bikes.

2023 S1000RR

The most noticeable changes relate to the fairing, which again has shark gill slits on the sides – as was the case with the original S 1000 RR from 2009. In addition – as expected – winglets, i.e. the aerodynamic front spoilers known from racing. The brake calipers from Hayes were no longer fitted but rather the blue ones from Nissin – as on the M 1000 RR. It is still unclear whether this is the new standard or M accessories. This also applies to the carbon cooling air scoops on the front brakes, which could be seen on the machine.

The current BMW S 1000 RR was presented at the end of 2018 for 2019. The new top model M 1000 RR followed in 2021, but the basic RR remained unchanged. A new version of the BMW S 1000 RR is now expected for 2023. In the homologation data available to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), BMW mentions a different peak output for the S 1000 RR: 154 instead of the previous 152 kW. Converted exactly into hp, that's 209.4 hp instead of the previous 206.7 hp, i.e. 2.7 hp more. The in-line four-cylinder engine equipped with the two-stage Shift Cam system will have to rev a little higher for this. So far, the nominal output has been achieved at 13,500 rpm, the 2.7 additional hp are to be achieved at 13,750 rpm.

However, even more top speed should will not be achieved. According to rumours, even 3 km/h less - but still just over 300 km/h. Because the rear sprocket is now 46 instead of 45 teeth on the sprocket. As with the M 1000 RR – which, however, has a nominal output of 212 hp at 14,500 rpm. The S 1000 RR should also benefit from one more tooth on the sprocket when accelerating and pulling through.

A slightly longer final drive chain would have to be used here, with which the wheelbase would be extended by a few millimeters - which would not require any changes to the swingarm. This would then have positive effects on high-speed stability. The same applies to the front spoiler, also known as winglets, which apply contact pressure to the front wheel and are already familiar from racing and the M 1000 RR. Most likely, the new S 1000 RR will also get winglets, albeit perhaps a bit smaller than on the M, to keep the price and prestige gap.

Supposedly the changes are focussed around the nose, would you concur?

How about the tail, is it more like the R?

Yes. Tail is like the R. Not completely 100% same. Front has wings on the side. Not the huge ones from the spy shots. Side and nose fairings different also.

I've seen the M package bike with the non DDC suspension like the M1000RR. Not sure if that's going to be how the M will come standard and do away with DDC. I would expect not but who knows. Packages are normally changed and configured by individual markets, only some things are set in stone from AG.

In AU we had 4 packages. Base, Sport, Race and M sport. No one buys base. Most buy Sport. Some buy Race. Some buy M sport.

I know who you are and I'm not about to post up just to prove something to someone random over the internet. I do not come here to gloat about what I may know or have seen. I provide facts and speak truth. I have nothing to gain by lying. I also maintain a degree of professionalism when someone shares sensitive information with me. Once its released to the public. I will be the first to announce it as I always have.

From what I know, there is a M1000R coming for sure. Its been sighted. We know based on those ridiculous test mule pics that was most likely an M1000RR due to the huge aero. This latest video does show RR. The wording makes it seem like its 2 new models. M RR is already added. But this does look like a new version. The other one thats coming is a M 1300 GS. But given they look like they're dropping a new MRR. They will probably keep the theme and also drop the M R.
