2018 BMW R 1200 R

The BMW R 1200 R gives you precisely what you expect from a boxer roadster: comfort, dynamics and touring suitability. Inimitable, it propels you forward, physically and acoustically. Its striking look attests to its genuine motorcycling enjoyment. The upside-down telescopic fork highlights its dynamic exterior and ensures stability and precise handling. The superior twin-cylinder boxer engine with 125 hp (92 kW) confidently spurs on this powerful package. Additional options include Dynamic ESA, Shift Assist Pro and Ride Modes Pro.

The R 1200 R is a roadster in the purest sense of the word – it's reduced down to the essentials: an engine, two wheels and a body consisting of the tank and seat. The R 1200 R has a rigid and muscular design, its lines run dynamically onto the low-set front and on towards the front wheel. The upside-down telescopic fork based on the S 1000 RR not only gives this all-rounder a striking appearance but also ensures stability and precise handling. Just as striking is the modern interpretation of the classic round headlights.

With the sharply drawn lines along the fuel tank and the seamless transition from the seat to the protruding rear, this roadster has a look that perfectly matches the way it rides. The entire silhouette is toned and nevertheless slim, for a modern and contemporary comfortable riding experience. The luggage frame in grid tube look encircles the center of the design: the classic boxer engine.

Performance meets passion.

The powerful twin-cylinder boxer engine with liquid coolant is an exciting powerplant. Its 125 hp (92 kW) at 7,750 rpm and maximum torque of 92 lb-ft at 6,500 rpm deliver pure riding pleasure over the entire engine speed range. Regardless of whether you're just cruising, riding on a country road, or on a relaxed holiday excursion with a passenger, case and topcase. Your companion throughout all of this is the unmistakable, rich boxer sound. This is where performance meets passion.

The R 1200 R is both visually and technically exciting. With the optionally available traction control (DTC), you combine the power of the boxer engine with the multiple riding modes. Shift Assist Pro ensures more comfort and dynamics.
