BMW R 1250 R 2020

BMW R 1250 R 2020

What could be better than getting even more power and torque in an already powerful naked bike! The predecessor, the R 1200 R, with its 125 hp and Newton metres of torque, could already be ridden very sportily, but the enlarged R 1250 R, now with 136 hp and a massive 143 Newton metres, pushes the boxer power to its current peak. The special thing about the R 1250 R, as with its predecessor, is that thanks to the extensive range of accessories it can also convince on tours. The new engine with ShiftCam valve control is not only more powerful but also more refined. The chassis and brakes are also convincing, and the seating position is pleasantly upright, allowing a wide range of riding styles, from sporty push-off to long-distance touring.

The Ducati Monster 1200 R is a powerful naked bike for the road, with an excellent chassis, a harmonious and pleasantly rideable performance engine and helpful electronics that make it suitable for the occasional trip to the racetrack. Whether the R is worth the premium over the S is something everyone must decide for themselves.

High-class chassis

brakes and rims of the Panigale

most powerful monster

fat torque

pleasant set-up

suitable for everyday use.

A little too well-behaved for an R model

high purchase price

not enough lean angle for the racetrack

no automatic gearshift available.
