The BMW R1200R (series K27) is a standard motorcycle introduced in 2006 by BMW Motorrad.[2] It replaces the R1150R, compared with which it has a 55 lb (25 kg) weight saving and 28% increase in power.[2] 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.[1][better source needed] It featured a new frame design and major changes included the switch from Telelever to upside-down telescopic forks and the addition of optional electronic suspension adjustment (Dynamic ESA).
For the 2019 Model Year, the R1200R was succeeded by the R1250R with an increased engine displacement of 1254cc. The R1250R features a newer ShiftCam dual cam profile engine producing more power (100 kW/136 hp) and comes equipped with a TFT display.
