Features

Features

  • SPORTINESS MEETS ERGONOMICS: The R 1250 RS combines sportiness with touring ability. The completely revised front, including engine spoiler, emphasizes the overall style of the Sport Tourer. The symmetrical layout of the twin headlights gives the R 1250 RS a balanced and modern look. The handlebar geometry ensures a sporty sitting position.
  • FULL POWER AHEAD: BMW ShiftCam is the name of the innovative technology that lets you accelerate faster from any speed. This is achieved by means of a variable camshaft control system. The increase to 136 hp gives you more power and, with the capacity expansion to 1254 cc, the possibility to make another sprint in the fast lane. The increase in torque (max 105 lb-ft) is noticeable in every rpm range, delivering the typical boxer punch an pure riding pleasure.
  • FULL LED HEADLIGHTS AS STANDARD: In both low beam and high beam, the illumination is wider and more consistent than conventional headlights. In addition, the light is whiter, making contours clearer and significantly increasing passive safety.
  • FACELIFT - FRONT AND SPORTIER APPEARANCE: The redesigned front, including an engine spoiler and full-LED headlight, make the R 1250 RS even more dynamic in its appearance.
  • BMW MOTORRAD OPTION 719: You now have even more options to make your BMW R 1250 RS your own bike: With the design-defining Option 719 Billet Packs Classic, Storm and Shadow, all three are very exclusive and high-quality factory-fitted customisation options. With the two-colour Option 719 wheels, you can make your R 1250 RS even more exclusive. The sports silencer also makes a statement on performance.
  • TFT DISPLAY WITH CONNECTIVITY: Connect your smartphone to your bike via Bluetooth. The 6.5-inch TFT display shows you everything about your motorcycle and offers you in conjunction with the smartphone app additional features such as navigation, music and phone.
  • BMW SHIFTCAM: The boxer engine with variable camshaft control gives you more pulling power in every rpm range.
  • STYLE SPORT: The Style Sport is a statement about performance with the expressive color Light White.
  • STYLE EXCLUSIVE: Show off your elegant sportiness with the Exclusive Style.
  • DYNAMIC ESA OF THE LATEST GENERATION: Dynamic ESA ensures more stable and even safer ride characteristics. The system automatically regulates the damping and spring preload of the struts depending on riding conditions and load. And it offers the highest level of comfort and traction on all surfaces, even in an inclined position. The inverted gold-colored fork is also part of the Dynamic ESA package.
  • RIDE MODES: Ride Modes Pro now also includes Hill Start Control Pro with automatic brake activation and Dynamic Brake Assistant (DBC).
  • CONNECTIVITY: Connect your smartphone to your bike via Bluetooth. The 6.5-inch TFT displays important information from the motorcycle and offers you, in conjunction with your smartphone app, additional features such as navigation, music and phone.
  • THE ENGINE: With a maximum 105 lb-ft of torque, the reworked engine delivers more power than ever before. Experience the pure thrill of riding and the typical punch of the Boxer engine at all times.
