BMW R 1250RS (2020)

The BMW R 1250 RS takes its place as the pinnacle of sports touring motorcycles, boasting a further advanced boxer engine that redefines the riding experience. This behemoth of a machine is equipped with BMW ShiftCam Technology, allowing for variable valve timing and stroke on the intake side, resulting in a substantial increase in power across the entire engine speed range.

The closed-loop three-way catalytic converter and exhaust system ensure compliance with Euro 4 regulations while delivering a particularly satisfying sound. Furthermore, refinements to the camshaft drive and oil supply systems contribute to reduced emission and fuel consumption levels.

But what truly sets the R 1250 RS apart is its ability to deliver smooth and refined power delivery, even at lower engine speeds. The result is a riding experience that is both exhilarating and effortless, making it the ultimate choice for those seeking an unparalleled adventure on two wheels.
