Le modèle précédent pouvait déjà être conduit de manière sportive et convaincre lors de randonnées, la nouvelle R 1200 R peut faire encore plus - grâce au système de valises (bien sûr payant), les voyages ne posent toujours pas de problème, mais elle maîtrise encore mieux le sport. Grâce au moteur bicylindre boxer désormais partiellement refroidi par eau, elle est merveilleusement agile - 125 ch ne semblent certes pas particulièrement élevés sur le papier, mais le moteur pousse de manière incroyable et se comporte en outre de manière raffinée. Le châssis et les freins marquent également des points et la position d'assise est sportive et droite, ce qui permet de couvrir un large spectre allant du plaisir à la conduite. Malheureusement, BMW a aussi parfaitement compris l'astuce de la liste de prix supplémentaires. Le modèle de base est en effet bien équipé avec l'ABS désactivable, l'antipatinage également désactivable et deux modes de conduite, mais de nombreux gadgets intéressants sont presque obligatoires - et font bien sûr grimper le prix.
