The BMW R 850R is the latest addition to the German manufacturer’s ever-expanding lineup of Boxer twins, and it’s clear that BMW has taken a page from the R1100R’s playbook. This scaled-down version of the big boxer may look identical to its larger stablemate at first glance, but beneath the surface lies a unique blend of performance and practicality.
The fuel-injected, four-valve twin-cylinder engine is a marvel of modern engineering, producing 70 horsepower and 57 ft.-lbs of torque – a full seven more than its K75 counterpart. Paired with the Bosch Motronic engine management system, this engine is a true powerhouse, and the best part is that it’s environmentally friendly, thanks to its three-way catalyst-equipped system.
The R850R’s riding experience is just as impressive, with its stressed-member frame, Telelever front suspension, and Paralever rear suspension providing a smooth and stable ride. The 12.0 inch front and 10.9 inch rear disc brakes, paired with four-piston Brembo calipers, bring the bike to a stop with ease, while the Bridgestone Battlax radials and three-spoke cast alloy wheels ensure a comfortable and confident ride.
But it’s the R850R’s styling that’s sure to spark debate – some will love its raw, unapologetic design, while others will hate it. Whatever your opinion, one thing’s for sure: the R850R is the ultimate naked bike experience.
