The BMW 1200R was a standard machine introduced by BMW Motorrad in 2006 as a replacement for the BMW R1150R and continued production until 2018 when it was replaced by the BMW R1250R.
Compared to its predecessor, the BMW R1200R came in a lighter package, losing 25 kg (55 lbs) and a 28 percent power increase. In 2015, the maker introduced a completely redesigned model that packed the same engine as the 2014-2015 R1200RT in a lighter package.
In 2016, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW R1200R, a naked machine fitted with the latest technologies. It packed standard features, such as a two-piece seat with a passenger grab handle, an engine spoiler, a side stand, and 10-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
The bike was built on a tubular steel bridge-type frame with a 45 mm upside-down telescopic fork on the front and a single-sided swingarm with a BMW EVO Paralever shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent handling capabilities.
In the braking department, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm floating discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 276 mm disc squeezed by a dual-piston floating caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.
As for the power figures, the 2016 BMW R1200R had its heartbeat set by a 1,170cc four-stroke liquid-cooled flat-twin boxer engine that delivered 125 hp at 7,750 rpm and 125 Nm (92 lb-ft) torque at 6,500 rpm.
