In addition to the works entries in the FIM Superbike World Championship and the FIM Endurance World Championship, there are countless privateer teams and riders competing around the globe, aiming to claim wins and titles with BMW motorbikes in a range of race series. The overall results are remarkable again in the 2025 season, with BMW racers claiming 13 titles and climbing onto the podium 411 times, achieving 169 wins and 242 additional podium finishes.

The privateer BMW riders and teams are the best ambassadors for BMW Motorrad Motorsport in the most important international and national championships. They have been collecting wins and titles since many years – firstly with the BMW S 1000 RR and then with the BMW M 1000 RR as well since 2021. In Europe, North and South America, Australia or Asia, the BMW racing family is in action around the world.
In focus markets, customer teams compete as BMW Motorrad Motorsport Official Teams, working closely with BMW Motorrad Motorsport in communication, marketing, and events.
In Japan, this is the AutoRace Ube Racing Team, which has already made a mark in the Japanese Superbike Championship and FIM EWC. The team’s regular rider is Naomichi Uramoto. For FIM EWC events in 2026, AutoRace Ube Racing received prominent reinforcement. Sylvain Guintoli, Superbike and Endurance World Champion as well as BMW Motorrad factory rider in FIM EWC and the BMW Motorrad WorldSBK Test Team, brings a wealth of skill and experience. Hannes Soomer also contributes his talent and experience on the #76 BMW M 1000 RR.
In North America’s MotoAmerica, OrangeCat Racing won the Superstock title last season. For the 2026 season, the US team, as BMW Motorrad Motorsport Official Team in the focus market USA, moved up to the MotoAmerica Superbike class. The team’s two BMW M 1000 RRs are ridden by Jayson Uribe and Sean Dylan Kelly.
In international Road Racing, the 8TEN Racing Team from the UK focus market is the team to beat. The two riders are also the team owners and the top favorites at major events: Davey Todd and Peter Hickman, both of whom have already achieved numerous victories, including at the Isle of Man TT and the Macau Grand Prix. Todd and Hickman not only compete in Road Racing but also in the British Superbike Championship.
An overview of various race series around the globe, featuring privateer BMW riders and teams in competition:
Unifying the many privateer BMW riders and teams from all over the world and providing them with an international stage has long been a key goal for BMW Motorrad Motorsport. The BMW Motorrad Race Trophy was the ideal platform for this between 2014 and 2021. This unique competition brought together BMW racers from the various championships in a collecting ranking system – crowning the best of them at the end of each season. Up to 160 BMW riders from all over the world took part in the Race Trophy.
As of 2022, we are striking out in a new direction with the aim of communicatively connecting the BMW Motorrad Motorsport family and providing them with a significantly larger international stage. We are now integrating our privateer riders and teams closely in the communication on our social media channels and on our website. The successes of our racers – always up-to-date online.
