The Bmw R 1200 R has a top speed of 200 km/h, produces 125 hp and weighs 222 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.2/10.
La BMW R 1200 R a été introduite en 2006 en tant que variante roadster de la célèbre plateforme Boxer Twin de BMW, en remplacement de la R 1150 R. Elle a fait l'objet d'une importante mise à jour en 2011, puis de nouveau en 2015 lorsqu'elle a adopté le moteur Boxer à refroidissement liquide, plus puissant, offrant des performances améliorées et conforme à la norme Euro. Il se distingue par sa position de conduite verticale polyvalente et son moteur bicylindre à opposition horizontale caractéristique qui définit l'héritage de BMW.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Watch the Throttle Body
Early R 1200 R models (2006-2010) can develop throttle body sync issues causing rough idle and hesitation. Regular dealer synchronization service every 12,000 miles prevents most complaints.
Strong Resale Value
The R 1200 R holds resale value exceptionally well, typically retaining 60-70% of its value after 3 years. BMW's reputation and loyal ownership community keep used prices competitive.
Boxer Engine Longevity
The air/oil-cooled boxer twin is renowned for lasting well beyond 100,000 miles with basic maintenance. It's one of the most mechanically proven engines in the middleweight naked segment.

"BMW est nue et honnête : puissante, capable, parfois exaspérante."
La R 1200 R donne l'impression que BMW s'est enfin engagée à construire un véritable roadster au lieu d'un véhicule de tourisme dont les carénages ont été retirés. Ce boxer twin tire fort dès 2 500 tr/min et ne se sent jamais perturbé dans la circulation urbaine ou sur les autoroutes. La transmission par arbre permet d'éviter tout tracas sur la chaîne sur 40 000 kilomètres, mais la réaction du couple lors des manœuvres à faible vitesse sur les parkings vous surprendra jusqu'à ce que vous appreniez à l'utiliser. La position assise est neutre et réellement confortable pendant cinq heures par jour, bien que le siège d'origine soit engourdi vers la troisième heure et que la protection contre le vent au-dessus de 130 km/h soit pratiquement inexistante. Les premiers modèles présentaient des problèmes de carburant à de petites ouvertures d'accélérateur, ce qui était généralement réglé en un clin d'œil par un concessionnaire, et la suspension à réglage électronique des modèles spécifiques vaut chaque centime par rapport à la configuration standard.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"The sensible naked BMW that quietly wins you over completely."
$7,500-$13,500 usedThe R 1200 R is one of BMW's most underrated naked bikes, and the used market is littered with genuinely good examples because owners tend to look after them. The air/oil-cooled boxer twin punches hard in the midrange — that 1170cc engine pulls cleanly from 2,000rpm and never feels breathless. Riding position is upright and sensible without being boring, and the optional ESA suspension transforms it from competent to genuinely impressive. It's not a thrill-seeker's machine, but it rewards smooth, confident riding beautifully. Buying used, check the final drive for play and listen for clunking — they're not catastrophically expensive to fix but you'll want it reflected in price. Pre-2015 models lack the more sophisticated telelever upgrades. Throttle bodies occasionally need balancing on high-mileage bikes. Service history is non-negotiable on any BMW; dealer stamps add real resale value. Budget for annual valve checks regardless — they're straightforward but labor-intensive.
