BMW R1200R 2008

The R1200R All business, all the time.
If you’re looking for a bike with zero pretensions that’s all attitude, the R 1200 R is your ride. From blazing performance in the twisties to long distance touring to blasts around the city this is a supremely capable motorcycle that offers exhilarating performance. Featuring a generous 109hp, the new R 1200 R has the horsepower torque and acceleration to create thrills with every mile. Add the latest version of BMW Integral ABS and Automatic Stability Control, and the R 1200 R is as sure-footed as it is exciting. Handling is remarkably precise thanks to the Telelever front suspension and the motorcycle’s low center of gravity. Now every turn becomes a pulse-quickening experience no matter where the pavement takes you.
