The seller offers for sale this 2007 BMW R 1200 R, powered by a 1,170 cc boxer twin engine. Showing 40,930 km on the odometer and kept by a single private owner, this example is offered with an unusually complete set of equipment and accessories. The luggage arrangement is the full BMW system, with a topcase and original side panniers keyed to match, making the bike immediately ready for touring. Comfort and convenience features include heated grips, a tyre pressure monitoring system, ABS and an on-board computer, while additional cylinder protection has been fitted and original BMW LED indicators are in place. A handlebar riser of roughly four centimetres has been installed and can be removed again if a buyer prefers the standard riding position, and two BMW seats accompany the motorcycle, the standard unit and a lower version for shorter riders. According to the seller, oil changes for the engine, gearbox and final drive have been carried out at regular and often early intervals using fully synthetic oil, and iridium spark plugs were fitted last year. All keys and documentation are present, and the bike carries a valid inspection. The paintwork shows only minor chips or scratches, and the motorcycle is presented in good condition throughout.
The R 1200 R holds a particular place in BMW Motorrad’s line-up as the model that strips the marque’s engineering back to its essentials. Introduced in 2006 as the successor to the R 1150 R, it took the lighter, more powerful 1,170 cc boxer engine developed for the R 1200 GS and wrapped it in a naked roadster built around clean, uncluttered lines: exposed cylinder heads projecting either side of the frame, a compact tail section, a round headlamp and the Telelever front end that gives the bike its distinctive composure under braking. The Paralever shaft drive removes the chain maintenance entirely, and the flat, low-slung engine keeps the centre of gravity remarkably low, which is why these machines feel so much lighter in motion than their specification suggests. What made the R 1200 R such an enduring favourite is its versatility, equally convincing as a daily commuter, a weekend backroad companion and a genuine long-distance tourer once the factory luggage is fitted. Among riders who value mechanical honesty, comfort over hundreds of kilometres and the unmistakable side-to-side rock of a boxer twin at idle, it remains one of the most quietly respected motorcycles BMW has built.
