Woodcliff Lake, NJ (May 22, 2026)— With the BMW M 1000 RR Limited Edition Isle of Man TT, BMW Motorrad introduces a special model limited to 115 units globally to mark the 115th running of the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy in 2026.

Markus Flasch, CEO of BMW Motorrad: “Racing is part of BMW Motorrad’s DNA.

Homage to the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy
For decades, the Tourist Trophy has stood for outstanding rider skill, maximum precision and exceptional technical performance.
BMW Motorrad has a close connection to this history—from Georg Meier’s legendary TT victory in 1939 to current successes on the S 1000 RR and M 1000 RR. The Limited-Edition model takes up this heritage and translates it into a distinctive, exclusive production model.
BMW Motorrad and the TT: Historical Milestones
In 1939, Georg Meier won the Senior TT on the BMW RS 255 Kompressor. In 1976, another major TT success followed: Helmut Dähne, together with Hans-Otto Butenuth, won the 1,000 cc Production class on the BMW R 90 S. In the modern era, BMW Motorrad has continued this tradition on the Mountain Course with the S 1000 RR and later the M 1000 RR.
Successes Since 2014
Since the introduction of the RR models in the modern TT era, BMW Motorrad has repeatedly demonstrated its competitiveness on the Mountain Course. Michael Dunlop achieved a breakthrough in the 1,000cc class on the BMW S 1000 RR in 2014. Peter Hickman shaped the more recent period of success with multiple victories, including a hat-trick in 2022 in the Superbike, Superstock and Senior TT races on BMW motorcycles. In 2025, Davey Todd further underlined the performance of the BMW M 1000 RR with a Superbike victory and additional strong results in the 1,000 cc classes. A particularly striking testament to current performance is the overall all-time lap record on the TT Mountain Course set in 2023: 16:36.115 minutes with an average speed of 136.358 mph (approx. 219.4 km/h), achieved by Peter Hickman on a BMW M 1000 RR in Superstock specification.
Very Limited Availability
The M 1000 RR Limited Edition Isle of Man TT will be produced in a strictly limited run of 115 global units, further emphasizing its exclusive collector character.
A very limited number of these units will be available for purchase by U.S. customers. Stay updated about the latest news and pre-sale information at: www.bmwmotorcycles.com/en/models/m/m1000rr/limited-edition-isle-of-man-tt.html
