The seller offers for sale this 2016 BMW R 1200 R, powered by a 1,200 cc twin-cylinder boxer engine. Finished in black with the gold-coloured upside-down fork that gives this generation of roadster its unmistakable stance, this R 1200 R presents as a purposeful and modern naked bike with approximately 22,000 km indicated on the odometer. It is fitted with a generous list of factory options that lift it well above the base specification, including Dynamic ESA electronic suspension for adjustable damping at the touch of a button, the Style 2 appearance package, and the Headlight Pro adaptive lighting system. The H-shaped daytime running light, the LED indicators and the centre stand all feature, and a sport windshield is supplied with the motorcycle, currently demounted. The seller indicates the bike is in good condition and well looked after, presenting as an honest and complete example of the liquid-cooled R 1200 R in attractive specification.
The R 1200 R holds a special place in BMW Motorrad’s long roadster tradition, a lineage that traces back to the very first boxer-engined models of the 1920s. With the 2015 redesign the R 1200 R adopted the water-cooled 1,170 cc boxer twin shared with the GS and RT, delivering around 125 hp through a six-speed gearbox and BMW’s signature shaft final drive. The bridge-type tubular-steel frame, single-sided EVO Paralever swingarm and 45 mm inverted fork give the bike a planted, confidence-inspiring character, while the upright riding position and wide handlebars make it equally at home commuting or carving through mountain roads. The complex-surface headlight introduced with this generation broke decisively with the round lamps of earlier R models and gave the bike a sharper, more contemporary identity. Combining the relaxed usability of a standard motorcycle with genuine sporting ability and BMW’s hallmark engineering, the liquid-cooled R 1200 R remains a sought-after roadster among riders who value versatility, build quality and the unmistakable boxer character.
