La BMW R 1200 RS a été introduite en 2015 en tant que successeur de la R 1200 ST pour le tourisme sportif. Elle est équipée du bimoteur Boxer refroidi par air/huile (plus tard refroidi par eau) dans un ensemble sport-tourisme à demi-carénage. Il a été conçu pour combler le fossé entre les machines entièrement carénées inspirées de la S 1000 RR et la R 1200 R nue, en offrant une protection contre le vent, un confort sur de longues distances et une maniabilité sportive. Le modèle a été remplacé par la R 1250 RS en 2019, qui a introduit la technologie de distribution variable ShiftCam de BMW.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"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.
