BMW R 1250 R 2019

BMW R 1250 R 2019

What could be better than getting even more power and torque in an already powerful naked bike! The predecessor, the R 1200 R, with its 125 hp and Newton metres of torque, could already be ridden very sportily, but the enlarged R 1250 R, now with 136 hp and a massive 143 Newton metres, pushes the boxer power to its current peak. The special thing about the R 1250 R, as with its predecessor, is that thanks to the extensive range of accessories it can also convince on tours. The new engine with ShiftCam valve control is not only more powerful but also more refined. The chassis and brakes are also convincing, and the seating position is pleasantly upright, allowing a wide range of riding styles, from sporty push-off to long-distance touring.

BMW proves that even the most affordable entry into the R nineT world does not compromise on riding performance and emotion. If you reach for the original accessories from the Bavarians, you will quickly find that even the Pure quickly becomes a visual dream! The only compromises are the suspension, which is not very responsive, and the gauges, which are reduced to the bare minimum except for a speed indicator and trip meter. But with such a retro bike with such a strong character, you can overlook even these minor inconveniences.
