BMW R 1250R (2023)

The BMW R 1250 R has been a stalwart of the naked boxer roadster genre since its inception, and for good reason – it combines agility, performance, and comfort in a single, thrilling package. The 1,254cc air/liquid-cooled boxer engine is the heart of this beast, delivering 136 horsepower and 105 ft-lbs of torque with the added benefits of quiet and smooth operation, thanks to BMW ShiftCam technology.

Whether carving up twisty mountain roads or commuting through congested city streets, the R 1250 R excels in any scenario. Its updated feature set now includes standard Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and a new “ECO” mode for economical riding, ensuring that this motorcycle is as comfortable on long tours as it is on daily commutes.

With its aggressive styling, impressive performance, and array of innovative features, the BMW R 1250 R is poised to once again set the standard for naked roadsters.
