BMW R1200R (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW R1200R was a standard motorcycle introduced 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 2011, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW R1200R, a standard machine in its sixth consecutive production year. It came in the same shape and form as the previous one without significant modifications.

Visually, the motorcycle packed standard features, such as a round headlight, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, a luggage rack, a two-into-one exhaust system, and aluminum alloy wheels.

As for technology, the 2011 R1200R packed a closed three-way Catalytic Converter, an Anti-Theft Alarm System, Tire Pressure Control, Automatic Stability Control, ABS brakes, and Electronic Suspension Adjustment.

The 2011 BMW R1200R had its soul brought to life by a 1,170cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering 109 hp at 7,500 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

The bike's riding experience was softened by 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.

As for the braking power, the motorcycle's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm floating discs tied to four-piston fixed calipers on the front and a 265 mm fixed disc with a two-piston fixed caliper.
