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.

Both seat height and engine are very accessible and will give both experienced riders and newcomers a lot of pleasure.
