  • STRIKING LED HEADLIGHTS: The optimized low-beam and high-beam headlights are also available with adaptive headlights to provide you with brilliant illumination of the road ahead when leaning.
  • SPORTY, SLIM SINGLE SEATER: The single seat replaces the passenger seat, emphasizing the dynamic look of the R 1250 R – and your sporty ambitions.
  • PRACTICAL CORE SCREEN SPORT: Do you like a sporty ride? Core Screen Sport lets you see it: This display shows you everything you need to know about your bike’s performance. European model shown.
  • PRACTICAL USB CHARGING SOCKET: The standard USB port is ideal for charging your smartphone when it is low on power. The socket is easily accessible, short-circuit proof, and protected from water.
  • COMFORTABLE HEATED SEAT: To make long rides fun, even in the cold: Five heating levels for the rider, and two heating levels for the passenger. And, using the hot-key, you can apply the last heating setting used with the press of a button. European model shown.
  • USEFUL 12V SOCKET: Use the 12V charging socket to charge external devices.
  • ABS PRO AND DTC AS STANDARD: This standard system detects your bike’s lean angle and reduces abrupt changes in steering force when braking rapidly, keeping you steadier. For even more riding pleasure into corners – and out of them: Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) helps the rear wheel from spinning if the grip conditions change, providing added stability.
  • SPORTINESS MADE VISIBLE: Feel and enjoy the torque delivered by this boxer with every twist of your wrist. With Core Screen Sport, you now have this sportiness – in the truest sense of the word – at your fingertips. The TFT display provides information such as DTC interventions, your current and maximum lean, as well as the brake intervention force.
  • ECO MODE FOR MORE EFFICIENT RIDING: Being able to ride with ease and unwavering calm, on a powerful boxer: This is also a sign of versatility. With the R 1250 R's new Eco mode, you get maximum range every time you fill your tank. The TFT display shows you how efficient your riding style is. For maximum performance, you can switch to another riding mode, quick and easy, at any time. The standard Rain and Road riding modes now also include ABS Pro and DTC.
