Bmw R 1200 R

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.

O BMW R 1200 R foi introduzido em 2006 como uma variante de roadster nu da popular plataforma boxer twin da BMW, substituindo o R 1150 R. Ele passou por uma atualização significativa em 2011 e novamente em 2015, quando adotou o mais potente motor boxer refrigerado a líquido, oferecendo melhor desempenho e conformidade com a norma Euro. É notável por sua posição de pilotagem versátil e vertical e pelo característico motor de dois cilindros horizontalmente oposto que define a herança da BMW.

O que os compradores devem saber

🔧

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.

"A BMW está nua e honesta: poderosa, capaz, às vezes irritante."

A R 1200 R parece que a BMW finalmente se comprometeu a construir um roadster adequado em vez de um tourer com as carenagens retiradas — aquele gêmeo boxer puxa com força a partir de 2.500 rpm e nunca se sente confuso no trânsito da cidade ou nas extensas estradas A. O acionamento por eixo significa zero ruído na corrente em 40.000 quilômetros, mas a reação de torque durante manobras de estacionamento em baixa velocidade o surpreenderá até que você aprenda a trabalhar com ela. A posição do assento é neutra e genuinamente confortável por dias de cinco horas, embora o assento padrão fique dormente por volta da terceira hora e a proteção contra o vento acima de 130 km/h seja basicamente inexistente. Os primeiros exemplos tiveram alguns problemas de abastecimento em pequenas aberturas do acelerador que o flash de uma concessionária geralmente resolvia, e a suspensão ajustada eletronicamente em modelos específicos vale cada centavo em relação à configuração padrão.

+O torque de baixa rotação é excepcional

"The sensible naked BMW that quietly wins you over completely."

$7,500-$13,500 used

The 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.
