BMW R 1200R (2011)

The BMW R 1200 R and R 1200 R Classic are the latest additions to BMW Motorrad’s roadster lineup, boasting a rich heritage and a commitment to innovation.

The heart of these dynamic machines is the revised boxer engine, a four-stroke, two-cylinder unit with DOHC and 4 valves per cylinder, generating perceptibly higher torques for a thrilling riding experience. With its roots in the successful R 1200 R, these new roadsters deliver even more riding fun, thanks to their modern sporty design and accentuated classical lines.

The boxer engine, borrowed from the HP2 Sport, is a game-changer, providing an extra boost of temperament to the riding experience. Paired with ultra-modern technology and two distinct design concepts, the BMW R 1200 R and R 1200 R Classic set a new standard in the segment, offering a unique blend of performance, style, and refinement.
