BMW R 1200 R: R as a surprise
The first photographs of the new Ra, revealed in the middle
summer has disappointed many. Having such courage
the design used by BMW lately,
we were expecting an aggressive boxer roadster,
but we got what we have already seen, only in a slightly rejuvenated form
disguise. However, if the first impression was warm, the test showed completely
another zgodbo.
This was greatly aided by the weight loss diet, as in

it can be said that the newcomer is an excellent successor. Easier at 21
kilograms, 28 percent stronger, with more powerful
brakes and a frame that allows for a very lively ride became
a fresh, modern, safe and very fun roadster. We can't wait yeah
let's try the one with the last anti-slip system
bicycles. R is not just a surprise, but a real revolution.
