The BMW R 1250 RS was a faired motorcycle part of the R series, first seen at the 2018 EICMA Motorcycle Show in November, and like other versions of the R series, such as the R 1250 RT, R1250 R, and R 1250 GS, the RS sport tourer was powered by a boxer engine.
The BMW RS was always a master of sporty riding and long-distance journeys, so to keep that reputation, BMW fitted the new 2023 R 1250 RS model with some standard features and optional extras that made sports touring even more dynamic and relaxed.
Like before, the legendary two-cylinder boxer engine offered powerful characteristics from its 1,254cc displacement that generated 100 hp at 7,250 rpm and 143 Nm (105 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,250 rpm thanks to its BMW ShiftCam technology, which provided beefy power across the entire speed range, smooth and quiet engine running, efficient fuel consumption, and low emission values.
The Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and the new ECO driving mode came as standard features on the 2023 BMW R 1250 RS model, where the DTC ensured a high level of safety with excellent traction control.
As for the ECO mode, it allowed the rider to use the BMW Motorrad ShiftCam engine technology for maximum range and encouraged the rider to be as fuel-efficient as possible with soft throttle response and moderate engine torque limitation.
In addition, the bike came with standard features such as Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), BMW Motorrad ABS Pro, Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), ECO riding mode, and three riding modes.
