This is the new BMW R1200R. Using the same 125hp engine as the R 1200 GS, RT and RS, it’s claimed the 92-lb-ft lump has a more uniform torque delivery throughout the rev range.
The engine is a self-supporting element of a new tubular-steel bridge frame, with upside-down forks and an EVO Paralever rear, and incorporates new air intake and central radiator for a compact front silhouette.
