Change to the brake system
Starting on 01/12/2020, the vehicle shown here is expected to be delivered with a brake system from another manufacturer (possibly with different appearance) instead of the Brembo brand brake system.
FOR THE AMBITIOUS CURVE HUNTER
Sport
This version of the R 1250 R is particularly dynamic. The exclusive colour combination featuring Light White, Racing Blue Metallic and Racing Red is a real eye-catcher. Its sporty appearance is rounded off by its white frame, large coloured Tape and high-quality hardware components.
The dynamics package sharpens the sporty qualities of the machine both on and off-road while offering added safety. The equipment extras include the Pro riding modes with Core Screen Sport, ABS Pro, Dynamic Traction Control DTC, Engine Braking Control EBC, Brake Assist DBC and Hill Start Assist HSC Pro, the shift assistant Pro and daytime riding lights and LED turn indicators.
Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) ensures greater riding stability and controls wheel slip even when leaning into corners to prevent the rear wheel from spinning. Depending on the riding mode, DTC allows more or less slip and thus guarantees maximum propulsion and safety benefits on any surface.
The LED Daytime Riding Light ensures greater road safety. Thanks to modern LED technology, it improves the visibility of the motorcycle. In addition to the convenient automatic function, the Daytime Riding Light can also be activated manually and also impresses with its iconic, unmistakable appearance.
The Shift Assistant Pro allows shifting up and down in almost all load ranges and engine speed ranges without clutch control. The assistant thus ensures noticeably reduced shifting times, a relief of the clutch hand and thus more comfort, dynamics and riding pleasure.
With the innovative ABS Pro, the motorcycle can be better controlled by the rider even when braking in an inclined position. Since the sensor system measures also the lean angle, the brake pressure can be controlled in a better way, even when cornering. This reduces the motorcycle's tendency to straighten up, meaning that the rider can keep it more precisely on course.
Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) ensures more stable and therefore even safer ride characteristics. The system automatically regulates the damping and spring preload of the telescopic fork and spring struts depending on riding conditions and load and offers the highest level of comfort and traction, even in inclined position.
The Sport handlebar supports an active seating position and thus a sporty riding style.
The Sport seat with a 20 mm higher and narrower rider's seat supports a sporty riding style thanks to its active seat position. It is particularly suitable for tall riders as the comfortable knee angle provides the rider with a noticeable improvement in seating comfort and thus even more carefree miles even over long distances.
Thanks to Keyless Ride, the ignition key can now remain in the pocket. The system is extremely convenient and allows the rider to start their machine simply at the push of a button. The steering lock and fuel filler cap can also be unlocked in this way. The motto is: just get on and ride off!
Strikingly different

The motorcycle is stylish with elegant and stylish Mineral grey metallic matt paintwork. Added to this are high-quality materials and finishes. The Exclusive lettering, large coloured Tape and high-quality stainless steel components round off the stylish appearance.

The Tank cover Pure made of glass-bead blasted stainless steel gives the fuel tank cover a durable, matt glossy surface.
The exhaust system with high-quality chrome-plated rear silencer and exhaust manifold has a glossy and particularly elegant look. The pentagonal design of the powerful rear silencer offers greater lean angle freedom, and it also provides a clear view of the rear wheel.
Brilliant appearance: the attractive LED indicators with white indicator glass impress with their slim design and modern lighting technology. They respond faster than bulbs and offer a significantly longer service life. This results in clear safety benefits in traffic.
THE TOUR FOR TWO
A good basis means many possibilities
Even the standard version of the R 1250 R in the timeless Black storm metallic leaves you with a modern and high-quality naked bike. So that your tour even with pillion passenger becomes a pure pleasure, you can set up your Roadster to make it more comfortable or tour-oriented.
Thanks to the Touring Package, even longer trips become a relaxed and comfortable pleasure. This is ensured by extras such as the pannier racks, cruise control, automatic Dynamic ESA, the Keyless Ride system, the preparation for the navigation system and the centre stand.
The electronic cruise control can be activated beyond 30 km/h and keeps the riding speed constant. This gives riders the ability to relax and enjoy long stretches of motorway in particular. The function is deactivated by braking, and the selected speed is resumed after pressing the resume button.
The centre stand ensures safe, stable parking of the machine and offers advantages, for example when refuelling, loading and unloading cases, or during maintenance work. In addition, the tyres and spring elements are relieved if the machine stands for extended periods of time.
A topcase or other pieces of luggage can be attached to the sturdy luggage carrier with grab handles for the passenger.
Uncomplicated and practical: the case holders consist of two retaining clips, which are mounted on both sides of the motorcycle on the rear frame. The touring cases can be easily hung on them and offer maximum transport safety.
The Dynamic Package sharpens the sporty qualities of the machine while at the same time offering safety benefits. The equipment extras include riding modes Pro with ABS Pro, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) and Hill Start Control Pro (HSC), Shift Assistant Pro as well as LED Daytime Riding Light and LED indicators.
The LED Daytime Riding Light ensures greater road safety. Thanks to modern LED technology, it improves the visibility of the motorcycle. In addition to the convenient automatic function, the Daytime Riding Light can also be activated manually and also impresses with its iconic, unmistakable appearance.
Tyre Pressure Control provides information on the current tyre pressure and alerts the rider early on to possible hazards in the event of a loss of pressure. The values can be called up via the cockpit display. A yellow info light and a red warning light automatically indicate any relevant deviations from the set values while riding.
In the event of an accident, Intelligent Emergency Call automatically contacts the BMW call centre to activate the rescue chain as quickly as possible. The motorcycle position is transmitted and, if possible, an initial call to the person concerned is set up. The system can also be activated manually to help other road users, for example.
Thanks to a broader seat area and additional padding, the Comfort passenger seat provides noticeably greater seating comfort and even more carefree kilometres for the passenger. The particularly comfortable passenger seat can be combined with all rider's seat variants.
No more cold hands: this is ensured by the electric heated grips with two-stage control. The grips enhance comfort and offer more safety, because it is easier to control the vehicle with warm hands and more feeling in the fingers. The heated grips are conveniently controlled via the right-hand operating unit on the handlebars.

Ergonomics and comfort
Rider's seat low, black:
The rider's seat in black, which is 60 mm lower, makes mounting your bike easier and improves accessibility to the ground. This makes it easier to manoeuvre and control the motorcycle.
Rider's seat Sport, black:
The rider's seat Sport in black is higher and narrower than the standard seat and supports a sporty riding style thanks to its active seat adjustment. With a seat height of 840 mm and a rider step length of 1,875 mm, it is particularly well suited for tall riders.
Thanks to a broader seat area and additional padding, the Comfort passenger seat provides noticeably greater seating comfort and even more carefree kilometres for the passenger. The particularly comfortable passenger seat can be combined with all rider's seat variants.
The tinted Sport windscreen with scratch-resistant coating noticeably relieves the upper body of wind pressure and provides a sporty accent. The classic roadster look remains intact, but it can also be used to make fast motorway routes or longer tours even more relaxed.
Navigation and communication
The multifunctional Navigator VI makes route planning child's play. The system with 16 GB flash memory and five-inch touch screen always points the right direction. Thanks to the circular polarisation filter (CPOL), the waterproof display is easy to read even in direct sunlight. The high-resolution screen in a smartphone-like housing provides all essential information and thus the overview needed in every situation. Numerous additional functions make planning and tour an exciting experience. Routes can be created to reflect personal preferences in order to enjoy journeys along winding and quiet side roads. In unknown terrain, the "round trip" option is a good choice as it reliably guides the rider at the end of the tour back to the starting point. The Bluetooth connection to the BMW Motorrad communication system and the optional smartphone link app enable a pure multimedia experience on the go: navigation instructions, phone calls, streaming music and retrieving weather forecasts or traffic jam information are no problem.

If the rider has opted for pre-installed map data, this is always up to date thanks to lifelong, free map updates.
Safety
The robust engine protection bars made of polished stainless steel reliably protects the area around the cylinder against damage without restricting the tilt angle. The sturdy tubular construction can withstand even rough impacts and can prevent major falls on asphalt.
