The all-round model revision of the R 1200 R has produced a
truly multi-talented machine. The distinguished design, the
newly developed DOHC flat-twin engine and the ingenious chassis
with Telelever and Paralever make the R 1200 R a genuine
Rock’n’Roll Roadster which will get the most out of every road
in terms of riding pleasure.
Visually speaking, the revision of the R 1200 R is once again
a real eye-catcher. The purist lines and the even more refined
finish demonstrate the powerful character of the machine. New
circular instruments, a new higher-quality fork, the new
double-butted aluminum handlebars, beautiful new cast wheels, a
chrome exhaust manifold as standard and much more besides - all
this reflects an attention to detail as far as the eye can see.
Especially in the Classic version, with is absolute Rock'n'Roll
for the eyes with a wide range of visual highlights such as
spoke wheels, chrome features and an attractive paint.
The air/oil-cooled 2-cylinder twin engine offers not only a
new sonorous, throaty sound at a whole new level but also a
genuine innovation: after their appearance in the GS and RT
models, the two overhead camshafts and four radially arranged
valves now see their debut here. What is more, output has been
increased to 81 kW (110 bhp), with a maximum torque which has
also been raised to 119 Nm at 6,000 rpm. This means that the
power unit now accelerates with even greater ease from low
engine speeds, performing impressively in all situations on the
road and delivery even greater pulling power.
The special equipment features available for this all-rounder
range from safety features such as standard part integral ABS,
to optional ASC and tire pressure monitor through to comfort and
tour-oriented features such as ESA (Electronic Suspension
Adjustment), case holders and windshield. And there are some
impressive motorcycle accessories available for the R 1200 R,
too, with an extremely light Akrapovic silencer made of
titanium, practical system cases and eye-catching chrome
cylinder head covers.

Features and Benefits
As a traditional roadster, the BMW R 1200 R offers an almost
ideal synthesis of riding dynamics, agility and classic design
within the boxer series with a spirited 81 kW (110 HP). It
combines nimble handling with impressive good looks and balanced
ergonomics, offering maximum motorcycling pleasure at its
purest.
In the R 1200 R “DarkWhite” special model, BMW Motorrad
highlights its sporty side, something that has always typified
BMW roadsters with boxer engines.
The special model underlines dynamic aspirations in an
exciting contrast between the bodywork with its light white
paintwork and the jet black of the drivetrain and wheels. Frame
in asphalt grey, swingarm, rear axle housing and triangular
wishbone in matt black and black anodised fork tubes lend the
roadster an exclusive high-tech feel. The sports windshield
reduces the strain on the rider in the area of the helmet and
upper body. The standard sports seat provides perfect contact
with the motorcycle.
In addition, the BMW R 1200 R “DarkWhite” special model can
be individually enhanced with special accessories and optional
extras from the extensive BMW Motorrad range.
