Bmw R 1200 Rs

The Bmw R 1200 Rs has a top speed of 225 km/h, produces 125 hp and weighs 229 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.

BMW R 1200 RS zostało zaprezentowane w 2015 roku jako następca sportowo-turystyczny R 1200 ST, wyposażony w chłodzony powietrzem/olejem (później chłodzony wodą) podwójny silnik bokserski BMW w półowiewkowym pakiecie sport-touringowym. Został zaprojektowany, aby wypełnić lukę między w pełni rozwiniętymi maszynami S 1000 RR a nagim R 1200 R, zapewniając ochronę przed wiatrem i komfort na długich dystansach przy sportowym prowadzeniu. Model został zastąpiony przez R 1250 RS w 2019 roku, który wprowadził technologię zmiennego rozrządu zaworów ShiftCam firmy BMW.

8.5/10
Najlepszy dla
Experienced riders wanting fast, capable long-distance touring

"A genuinely fast, comfortable sport-tourer that rewards careful used buying."

$8,500-$14,000 used

The 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.
