BMW R 1250 RS 2025

For me, the BMW R 1250 RS epitomises the classic sports tourer to perfection. The seating position, the engine tuning, the suspension and the electronics - everything has been done just right. For me, the best sport touring motorcycle on the market comes from BMW.
High stability in long turns
agile, revvy boxer engine
good looks
comfortable riding position
extensive accessories list
great ESA suspension
great balance between sport and touring
good feel for the front
wide handlebars for precise control
compact but practical windscreen adjustment
good mirror position
Low position of the sat nav requires looking away from the road
Combined Braking System with ABS requires familiarisation
Cardan drive requires somewhat rougher gear changes
