The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.

Kaj je lahko boljšega kot še večja moč in navor pri že tako zmogljivem golem kolesu! Že predhodnika R 1200 R s 125 KM in njutonmetri navora je bilo mogoče voziti zelo športno, toda povečani R 1250 R s 136 KM in ogromnimi 143 njutonmetri je moč bokserja še povečal do sedanjega vrhunca. Posebnost modela R 1250 R je, tako kot pri predhodniku, da lahko zaradi bogate ponudbe dodatne opreme prepriča tudi na izletih. Novi motor z regulacijo ventilov ShiftCam ni le zmogljivejši, temveč tudi bolj prefinjen. Tudi podvozje in zavore so prepričljivi, sedežni položaj pa je prijetno pokončen, kar omogoča širok razpon načinov vožnje, od športnega potiskanja do turnih voženj na dolge razdalje.
