The BMW R 1200 R LC embodies the perfect blend of style, performance, and comfort. Its horizontally opposed Boxer engine produces a potent 125 horsepower, thanks in part to the DOHC, 4-valve design and fuel injection system.
Its 6-speed constant mesh gearbox features helical gear teeth for smooth, precise shifting, while the upside-down telescopic fork provides exceptional stability and handling, inspired by the S 1000 RR.
The R 1200 R’s design is a striking fusion of muscle and elegance, with a compact, athletic silhouette and sharply drawn lines that perfectly capture its dynamic personality.
