La BMW R 1200 RS se presentó en 2015 como sucesora deportiva de la R 1200 ST, con el motor bimotor bóxer de BMW refrigerado por aire/aceite (más tarde refrigerado por agua) en un paquete sport-touring con medio carenado. Se diseñó para cerrar la brecha entre las máquinas con carenado completo, influenciadas por la S 1000 RR, y la R 1200 R desnuda, ofreciendo protección contra el viento y comodidad en largas distancias con un manejo deportivo. El modelo fue sucedido por la R 1250 RS en 2019, que introdujo la tecnología de distribución variable de válvulas ShiftCam de BMW.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"A genuinely fast, comfortable sport-tourer that rewards careful used buying."
$8,500-$14,000 usedThe R 1200 RS is BMW's most underrated sport-tourer, full stop. That boxer twin punches hard through the midrange — 125bhp that feels torquier than the numbers suggest — and the semi-active ESA suspension on later models transforms what could be a harsh ride into something genuinely plush without going soft. It's a proper fast bike that doesn't exhaust you after 300 miles, which is rarer than it sounds. Buying used, you need to do your homework. Check the throttle body sync — rough idle is a giveaway it's been neglected. Spline wear on the driveshaft is a known issue on high-mileage examples, so budget accordingly if it hasn't been serviced. The TFT dash on 2017+ bikes is excellent but water ingress is a reported fault, so test everything before handing over cash. Service history is non-negotiable here. Overall it's a genuinely brilliant motorcycle that's currently flying under the radar on the used market, which means real value if you buy smart.
