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.

Like its predecessor, the Speed Triple R delights with its high-quality, sensitively responding Öhlins suspension and its stunning looks. The design remains true to its line - which can only please the many fans. The engine's braking and responsiveness can hardly be complained about, but the lack of power on the competition and the somewhat sluggish handling can certainly be forgiven, after all, the Speed Triple is a classic with history and the design is legendary - which is much more important to true fans than the one or two extra horsepower.
