Power in every situation

The boxer engine with proven BMW ShiftCam technology has two different intake camshaft profiles. Thanks to its variable camshaft control, the drive impresses with optimal running smoothness, high efficiency or impressive torque development depending on the requirements: for truly powerful acceleration. The increase up to the maximum torque of 105 lb-ft can be felt in every speed range: in sprints in the fast lane, as well as during powerful acceleration out of bends.

Expressive sports touring bike

More choices

One boxer, three faces. From classic, purist to sporty, dynamic to striking elegance: each of the three color combinations perfectly expresses the incomparable dynamic sports touring character of the R 1250 RS.

Light White

This variant of the R 1250 RS is pure. The boxer engine is particularly eye-catching here.

Sport

The colors Light White/Racing Blue Metallic/Racing Red are a clear homage to BMW Motorsport. The sporty look of the single seat bike is completed with a white frame and golden brake calipers.

Triple black

Attention design fans: Black Storm Metallic with Agate Gray frame accentuates the lines perfectly. The golden brake calipers and the stainless steel engine spoiler set striking accents.

Sporty from front to rear

From the striking front end with the newly designed LED flashing turn indicators, to the high windscreen and full trim panel, right through to the short, sporty, slim single seat: The R 1250 RS is a pure sports touring bike. Performance-oriented and dominant. Comfortable and hungry for curves. Just as the bike’s lines promise. Just the way you want it.

  • With Dynamic and Dynamic Pro, the Pro riding modes offer you two purely performance-oriented programs.

  • Engine drag torque control helps prevent your rear wheel from slipping or skidding, giving you greater stability and control.

  • The Dynamic ESA offers a wide range between comfort and pure sportiness. With its automatic control of damping and spring pre-load, it ensures the best traction even when leaning.

Comfort package

With the comfort package, you can tackle every tour with ease. All that matters here is making your ride easy and enjoyable, before you even hop on.

  • Thanks to Keyless Ride, you can start your bike with your key in your pocket - without spending ages searching for the key.

  • In addition, this package includes the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) as well as heated grips to keep your fingers nice and warm.

  • And if you want to make your bike really stand out, you'll appreciate the design option muffler and chrome header.

Tour package

If you really enjoy the journey and the time on your bike, you may want to keep going for a few miles more, and the tour package ensures comfortable travel.

  • And, of course, this package includes a holder for a navigation device as well as cruise control.
