SPORTS TOURING IN THE FAST LANE

The BMW R 1250 RS is a powerful sports touring bike. Characterised by its two-cylinder boxer engine with BMW ShiftCam technology, it already visually embodies sporty dominance and unadulterated driving pleasure. Thanks to the wind and weather protection as well as the relaxed sitting position and assistance systems, you can enjoy every corner and every kilometre – whether alone or with a companion. Every punch of your boxer drives you forward – every single time. On every journey and every dynamic intermediate sprint. You demand more with confidence and faith – and the bike delivers. Simply put: #NeverStopChallenging.

LONGER JOURNEY, FEWER STOPS

The efficient Eco driving mode is now added to the Rain and Road driving modes as standard. This gives you the choice between efficient driving and the usual dynamic sportiness. The status display in the 6.5" TFT display shows you the selected setting. And the new optional Pro riding modes with Dynamic and Dynamic Pro ensure more performance on your tour.

MORE POWER IN EVERY SITUATION

The boxer engine with proven BMW ShiftCam technology has two different intake camshaft profiles. Thanks to its variable camshaft control, the drive impresses with superior running smoothness, high efficiency or impressive torque development depending on the requirements: for truly powerful acceleration. The increase up to the maximum torque of 143 Nm can be felt in every speed range: in sprints in the fast lane, as well as during powerful acceleration out of bends.

SPORTY FROM FRONT TO REAR

From the striking front end with the iconic daytime riding lights and the newly designed LED flashing turn indicators, to the high windscreen and full trim panel, right through to the short, sporty, slim single seater: The R 1250 RS is a pure sports touring bike. Confident and safe. Performance-oriented and dominant. Comfortable and hungry for curves. Just as the bike’s lines promise. Just the way you want it.
