BMW R 1250 R at EICMA
Roadster with a new power boxer
BMW presented the new BMW R 1250 R at the EICMA in Milan, which will be launched in the 2019 model year with the newly developed boxer engine. Price: from 13,750 euros.
D.It all started with the BMW R 1250 GS. BMW is now letting other models follow, which will be launched in the 2019 model year with the new 1250 boxer. One of these new models is the BMW R 1250 R, which made its first public appearance at EICMA 2018 in Milan.
New engine delivers 136 hp
As with the GS, the new engine in the BMW R 1250 R develops 136 hp at 7,750 rpm and provides 143 Nm at 6,250 rpm. The new Shift Cam technology from BMW is also used in the R 1250 R, which varies the valve timing and valve lift as a function of load and engine speed by means of an axial shift in two stages. In addition to more power, the new boxer should now provide more power in the lower speed range. The exhaust system has also been redesigned. The gearbox and the anti-hopping clutch are now integrated in the motor housing. The power is transmitted via a multi-disc oil bath clutch.
