BMW Motorrad’s newly appointed leader Markus Flasch has acknowledged the potential for BMW to enter MotoGP in the future. The upcoming rule changes in 2027 have piqued the interest of the German manufacturer, and there are already rumors circulating about a potential agreement with Dorna. These rule changes will require manufacturers to transition to smaller 850cc engines and incorporate fully sustainable fuel. Flasch shared with German publication Motorrad that BMW M has been a long-standing partner in MotoGP, and while they are considering the possibility, it must align with their strategic objectives. BMW already has a significant presence in two-wheeled motorsport, including their involvement in World Superbikes, where they signed the 2021 champion Toprak Razgatlıoğlu. Flasch, who took over as CEO of BMW Motorrad last year, believes that motorsport plays a vital role in enhancing brand strength and fostering enthusiasm among the brand’s community. With Suzuki’s departure from MotoGP after the 2022 season, it is crucial for Dorna to attract more manufacturers to the premier motorcycle racing series.
