BMW R1200RS (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW R1200RS was a sport-touring motorcycle created by BMW in 2015 to replace the BMW R1200ST. It was presented in September at the 2014 Intermot Motorcycle Show and was based on the BMW R1200R.

The all-rounder was powered by a boxer engine assembled at BMW's plant in Berlin, while the bike's production started on February nine, 2015, and was released into the market on May 12, 2015, at a base price of $14,600.

In 2015, the German motorcycle maker launched the BMW R1200RS, a sport-touring motorcycle that delivered the unmistakable sound and feel of a boxer engine. It was fitted with modern technology created by the House of Munich.

The bike's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as a half fairing with a dual headlight system, a windscreen, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a two-into-one exhaust system, and ten-spoke alloy wheels.

For suspension, the bike packed a 45 mm upside-down telescopic fork on the front with 140 mm of travel and a single-sided cast aluminum swingarm with a BMW Motorrad Paralever system on the rear with 140 mm of travel.

In the power department, the 2015 BMW R1200RS had its heartbeat set by a 1,170cc four-stroke air/liquid-cooled two-cylinder boxer engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, boasting 125 hp at 7,750 rpm and 125 Nm (92 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
