BMW R 1200 R 2016

The predecessor was already able to be ridden in a sporty manner as well as convincing on tours, the new R 1200 R can do even more - thanks to the pannier system (of course at extra cost), travelling is still no problem, but it masters sport even better. Thanks to the now partially water-cooled boxer twin-cylinder engine, it is wonderfully agile - 125 hp may not seem like much on paper, but the engine pushes incredibly and behaves in a cultivated manner to boot. The chassis and brakes also score highly and the seating position is sporty and upright, covering a wide spectrum from wonderful fun to long-distance touring. Unfortunately, BMW also understands the trick with the surcharge list perfectly. The basic model is well equipped with ABS that can be deactivated, traction control that can also be deactivated and two driving modes, but many interesting gimmicks are almost obligatory - and of course drive the price way up.

Brabus has set the bar high for future developments with its first motorbike. On the one hand, the 1300 R appears very mature, high-quality and high-performance. On the other hand, it is also classy and exclusive. The parts and components used are practical and not only look sexy, but are also a pleasure to ride in everyday life. A good motorbike.

Pleasant to control but brutal engine when needed

high-quality rider assistance systems

very high-quality carbon parts

pleasant seat

comfortable seating position even for tall riders

electronic chassis allows a wide range of use

high-quality braking system

agile but also precise handling

good stability even in fast bends.

Visibility in rear-view mirrors somewhat limited

on narrow bends, rear-view mirrors can press on the knees

buttons and switches at the left-hand end of the handlebar somewhat fiddly and difficult to operate with gloves on
