BMW R 1250 RS 2019

BMW R 1250 RS 2019

Visually, the new BMW R 1250 RS is the only one of the five big boxers that has really undergone major changes. This is very fitting, because the new ShiftCam engine with its wonderful sovereignty from the rev range has changed the character, and the RS is now an even better tourer. It is still not a light, compact motorbike, but it offers wonderful stability and comfort, only the wind protection could be a little better. But sportiness is not neglected either, the enormously powerful boxer engine is extremely agile. As usual, the Bavarians are excellent at offering an attractive list of accessories, from which some features play a decisive role in the good performance: The ESA suspension should not be missing for frequently changing load conditions (passenger, luggage), and for the ultimate driving pleasure, the shift assistant Pro is a must.

BMW M 1000 XR: The unreasonable travelling monster The BMW M 1000 XR is the bike that nobody needs but everyone wants. This oversized touring motorbike combines the comfort of a long-distance machine with the power of a superbike. On the motorway, it feels as stable as if it were riding on rails, even at speeds that dwarf the speed limit. But the real miracle is the braking system, which offers a deceleration performance that is otherwise only known from thoroughbred racing machines. When you make yourself small and open up the throttle, the M 1000 XR becomes a roaring beast that leaves you with a wide grin.
