Sport Style Highlights.

Style Sport

The Austin Yellow metallic matt colour scheme in Style Sport is a real eye-catcher. In addition, the bike boasts high-quality materials and surfaces. The Sport inscription, large coloured tapes and high-quality stainless-steel components complement the extravagant sport tourer's look, which is characterised by visual lightness. 

Dynamic Package

The Dynamic Package hones the sporty qualities of the machine while at the same time offering safety benefits. The equipment features include Pro riding modes with ABS Pro, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) and Hill Start Control (HSC), shift assistant Pro as well as LED daytime riding light and LED indicators.

Riding Mode Pro

With the Riding Mode Pro, the range of use of the machine can be extended even further and adapted to different riding situations and purposes. In addition to the throttle response, the Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) control characteristics are also adapted. 

Shift assistant Pro

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. 

ABS Pro

With the innovative ABS Pro, the motorcycle remains better controllable for 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. 

LED indicators

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. 

Dynamic ESA

With Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment), a more stable and thus even safer handling is achieved. The system automatically regulates the damping action and spring preload of the telescopic forks and spring struts to match the riding conditions and load thus offering maximum comfort and the best possible traction even when leaning into corners. 

Sport seat

The Sport seat with its 20 mm higher and narrower rider's seat supports a sporty riding style thanks to its active seat position. It particularly suits tall riders. The comfortable knee angle offers the biker noticeable improvements in seating comfort and thus even more carefree miles even on long journeys. 

Keyless Ride

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! 

HP Sports silencer

High-End in perfection: the high-quality slip-on silencer made of titanium with a carbon end cap guarantees a throaty sound and a sporty look. In addition, the sports silencer developed with Akrapovič has a weight advantage over the standard silencer. 

HP billet pack

The HP billet pack emphasises the sporty character of the bike with high-quality aluminium components in bicolour look and HP branding. The Billet pack special parts made of anodised aluminium signal high value.

More touring comfort for two.

The R 1250 RS is perfect for a trip for two. With possibilities to increase the storage space and other individualisation options, you and your companion can stow everything for your trip. You can ride faster, but you'll never lose your bearings with the right additional equipment such as the Navigator VI. Advanced riding modes and other options such as ECALL let you arrive at your destination carefree and comfortably.
