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.

BMW R 1200 R: R as a surprise

This was greatly aided by the weight loss diet, as in


Compared to its chunky predecessor, the new R not only looks lighter,


but also on the scales. Dry weight does not exceed 198 g.


kilogram, and with a full fuel tank - 223 kilograms. Z


additional upgrade (anti-slip system, handles for


passenger ...) and add another kilogram.

With this weight and


performance is felt best at speeds between 80 and 140


kilometers per hour, but for something more you will have to bow your head in


aerodynamic pose in which the R will help you accelerate


220 kilometers per hour. But this is already pointless, because like


The typical roadster has no real windscreen. Ob


today's traffic density and harsh fines for


too fast, that's enough. Who wants more will get it in BMW


also something more potent, toxic, such as K 1200 R.

Po


five years on the market and 60.000 Rs. of the previous generation sold


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.
