BMW R1200R (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW R1200R was a standard motorcycle produced by BMW in 2006 as a replacement for the BMW R1150R, continuing production until 2018. The bike was eventually replaced by the BMW R1250R.

In 2008, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW R1200R, a standard motorcycle in its third consecutive production year. The bike was available with optional technologies, such as an Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) system, ABS II, and Automatic Stability Control (ASC).

Performance-wise, the 2009 BMW R1200R had its heartbeat set by a 1,170cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air/oil-cooled boxer engine mounted at its core, delivering 109 hp at 7,500 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

It was made around a tubular steel frame with a 41 mm BMW Motorrad Telelever suspension system on the front that provided 120 mm of travel and a single-sided aluminum swingarm with an adjustable BMW Motorrad Paralever system on the rear that offered 140 mm of travel.

The braking power came from two 320 mm rotors bolted on the front wheel and a 265 mm brake disc mounted on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power enhanced by an Anti-Lock braking System (ABS).

As for the visual department, the motorcycle had standard fittings, such as a round headlight upfront, no fairings whatsoever, a one-piece dual seat, a two-into-one exhaust system, and five double-spoke aluminum wheels.
