Once again, BMW Motorrad Motorsport establishes itself as the king of racing in 2025, racking up titles and podiums across all continents. Imagine a race where the roar of the engine resonates like an electric guitar solo, and you will have an idea of the atmosphere surrounding the BMW M 1000 RR. This season, rider Toprak Razgatlioglu brilliantly defended his title in Superbike, proving that victory is not just a matter of luck, but of technical excellence and determination.
An impressive record
In the ruthless world of the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK), the BMW M 1000 RR has shown that it is not just a winning machine, but a true legend in the making. With Toprak Razgatlioglu at the helm, the ROKiT BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Team not only defended its title but also secured 21 victories out of 36 races. This is not just an achievement; it is a true feat worthy of a successful series!
Looking at the landscape of motorcycle sport in 2025, we discover that BMW riders dominated with a total of 411 podiums and 169 victories around the globe. This represents a notable improvement over the previous year, where they had already achieved impressive figures of 371 podiums and 142 victories. A true festival of speed!
The behind-the-scenes of success
Sven Blusch, head of BMW Motorrad Motorsport, does not hide his pride: “This season has exceeded our expectations,” he states. “Toprak’s title defense will be etched in memory, and even though we narrowly missed the endurance title, our determination remains intact for next year.” These words resonate like a call to arms for private teams that have also proven themselves on the circuits.
Uwe Geyer, head of BMW Motorrad Customer Racing, speaks of the strength of the M 1000 RR: “It is one of the best bikes on the international circuit. We are proud to offer private teams a high-performance package that translates into titles and victories.” It is this symbiosis between factory performance and the needs of private riders that makes BMW so strong in the world of motorcycle sport.
