Sportiness made easy
Longer journeys, fewer stops
Longer journeys, fewer stops
The efficient Eco driving mode is now added to the Rain and Road driving modes as standard. This gives you the choice between efficient driving and the usual dynamic sportiness. The status display in the 6.5" TFT display shows you the selected setting. And the new optional Pro riding modes with Dynamic and Dynamic Pro ensure more performance on your tour.
More 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 superior running smoothness, high efficiency or impressive torque development depending on the requirements: for truly powerful acceleration. The increase up to the maximum torque of 143 Nm can be felt in every speed range: in sprints in the fast lane, as well as during powerful acceleration out of bends.
Sporty from front to rear
From the striking front end with the iconic daytime riding lights and the newly designed LED flashing turn indicators, to the high windscreen and full trim panel, right through to the short, sporty, slim single seater: The R 1250 RS is a pure sports touring bike. Confident and safe. Performance-oriented and dominant. Comfortable and hungry for curves. Just as the bike’s lines promise. Just the way you want it.
The ideal complete package
Every R 1250 RS combines sportiness and suitability for touring. Now it’s up to you to decide where your journey will take you – in the truest sense of the word. We have put together three package solutions that are specifically tailored to your preferences.
- Dynamics package
- Comfort package
- Tour package
Do you see every straight as a run-up to the next corner? Our dynamics package supports you in your desire for power.
- With Dynamic and Dynamic Pro, the Pro riding modes offer you two purely performance-oriented programmes.
- Engine drag torque control prevents your rear wheel from slipping or skidding, giving you greater stability and control.
- The shift assistant Pro enables upshifting and downshifting without actuating the clutch.
- 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.
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 tyre pressure control (RDC) as well as heated handles to keep your fingers nice and warm.
- And if you want to make your bike really stand out, you can opt for the chrome exhaust system or the chrome manifold.
If you really enjoy the journey and the time on your bike, you may want to keep going for few kilometres 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.
- And the centre stand keeps your bike steady and secure, even with heavy bags hanging on both case holders.
