In 2013, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW R1200R, a standard motorcycle in BMW's range that debuted in 2006 as a replacement for the R1150R. It was manufactured until 2018, when it was replaced by the R1250R.
The 2013 model came in the same shape and form as the previous model. It remained mechanically unchanged but received new metallic paint finishes like Blue and Magnesium Beige.
The motorcycle's visual department was characterized by standard fittings, such as a round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a two-into-one exhaust system with a chromed silencer mounted on the left-hand side, and 10-spoke alloy wheels.
The motorcycle packed a BMW Motorrad Telelever suspension system on the front and a BMW Motorrad Paralelver on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and handling capabilities.
As for the braking power, the motorcycle was handled by two 320 mm brake rotors on the front and a 265 mm brake rotor on the rear. The front ones were coupled to four-piston fixed calipers, and the rear one was tied to a dual-piston fixed calipers.
In the performance department, the 2013 BMW R1200R had its heartbeat set by a 1,170cc four-stroke air-oil-cooled two-cylinder boxer engine that delivered 109 hp at 7,500 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
