The BMW R 1150R is a masterclass in understated style and performance, boasting a four-stroke, two-cylinder Boxer engine with 4 valves per cylinder.
Its Telelever suspension system, complete with a central spring strut and linear-rate coil spring, provides exceptional stability and control, while the Patented BMW Paralever swingarm and shaft drive ensure a smooth, comfortable ride.
But it’s the engine that truly steals the show – a fuel-injected flat-twin powerhouse that delivers strong, torquey power throughout the mid-rev range, making it the perfect companion for twisty roads and long highway cruises. The R 1150R is a true roadster for the 21st century, and it’s ready to take on whatever the road throws its way.
