BMW R 1200 R Technical Data

R 1200 R
The BMW R 1200 R is a classic roadster, yet one which is far ahead of its time thanks to its state-of-the-art technology.
But its confident attitude doesn't come by accident. After all, 80 kW (109 hp) and 115 Nm peak torque are bound to make
a name for themselves. The unique style of the R 1200 R is a testament to the fact that only true originals can be one of a
kind. The R 1200 R is a superb all-around talent on the road. One the one hand it is a powerful and sporty curve raider, while
on the other it is a comfortable yet unflappable travel companion on longer tours. The R 1200 R can be tailor-made to the
rider's needs with a wide array of accessories. Whether it's a sporty, a traditional or a more touring-oriented naked bike you
desire, the BMW R 1200 R is always a faithful companion.
