2018 BMW R 1200 R

Features

• A TRUE ROADSTER: 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.
• RIDE MODES PRO WITH DYNAMIC TRACTION CONTROL (DTC): Ride Modes Pro includes both the Dynamic and User riding modes, and Dynamic Traction Control.
• UPSIDE-DOWN TELESCOPIC FORK: For high steering precision, optimal handling and ideal braking performance.
• MULTIFUNCTIONAL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER: The large TFT display can be automatically adjusted to the light conditions - for ideal readability.
• HIGH-QUALITY FORK STABILIZER: Forged out of aluminum, it adds an elegant touch to the front section.
• STAINLESS STEEL TANK TRIM: Optional or available in the Sport and Exclusive styles, it adds an exclusive accent.
• LIGHT 10-SPOKE CAST WHEELS: The design and lightweight construction of the 17 in. light metal wheels is similar to that of the S 1000 RR.
• SILENCER IN PENTAGONAL DESIGN: Strictly functional design: for more freedom when it comes to lean angle and a clear view of the rear wheel.
