The new BMW R 1200R Classic embodies the perfect blend of modern sportiness and classic design, delivering a riding experience like no other. At the heart of this dynamic roadster is a powerful, four-stroke Boxer engine, generating significantly higher torques and providing an extra boost of temperament.
The engine’s DOHC valve gear and 1170cc displacement make it a beast on the road, while its ultra-modern technology ensures effortless performance under all conditions. With a sporty all-round character, the R 1200R Classic is a masterclass in handling and agility, making it a true joy to ride.
From the moment you swing a leg over the saddle, you’ll be struck by the bike’s refined lines and attention to detail, from the cast light alloy wheels to the metallic sapphire black paintwork with alpine white centre stripe. Whether you opt for the basic version or the Classic, one thing is certain: the BMW R 1200R Classic is the ultimate roadster for anyone who demands the very best.
