About BMW R1200R

The BMW R1200R (series K27) is a standard motorcycle introduced in 2006 by BMW Motorrad. It replaces the R1150R, compared with which it has a 55 lb (25 kg) weight saving and 28% increase in power. The air/oil-cooled flat-twin (boxer) engine produces 80 kW (109 hp) and features dual overhead camshafts. The model uses BMW's signature Telelever front suspension and Paralever rear suspension system. Optional equipment included Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), heated grips, on-board computer, and Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA). For the 2007 model year, BMW added a new dual spark version of the engine to meet Euro 3 emission standards. In 2011, the R1200R received updates including a revised engine with double overhead camshafts and optional Automatic Stability Control (ASC). For model year 2015, a completely new R1200R (series K53) with the same 125 hp (93 kW) liquid/air-cooled engine as the 2014/2015 R1200RT, but weighing 100 pounds less, was introduced.
