BMW R1200R first ride | First rides | Motorcyclenews.com
The new BMW R1200R roadster will cost £10,250 when it hits dealers in February and is powered by BMW’s latest-generation, 125bhp liquid-cooled 1170cc boxer engine, which first appeared in last year’s revamped R1200GS and this year’s RT tourer and GS Adventure.
There’s a new chassis and styling, but the biggest news is the move away from the old machine’s Telelever front end. New, non-adjustable, 45mm upside-down forks promise to give the R1200R a less quirky feel at the front end. But there’s still BMW’s tried and tested Paralever system at the rear, incorporating shaft drive.
