R 1250 RS

THE NEW BMW R 1250 RS.
TOURING IN THE FAST LANE
Each tour is determined by two factors - time and distance. With the BMW R 1250 RS get more track out of every tour, and make every second count. The all-new variable camshaft BMW ShiftCam delivers 14% more maximum torque, allowing you to accelerate even faster to your cruising speed. Standard features such as a TFT Connectivity Display, ABS, ASC, Riding Modes and Heated Grips provide maximum comfort - and the full LED headlight ensures you tour in style. No matter how much road you leave behind, your pure riding pleasure will increase every metre you ride.
Sportiness meets ergonomics.
The R 1250 RS combines sportiness with touring ability. The completely revised front including new engine spoiler emphasizes the dynamic overall impression of the Sport Tourer. The symmetrical layout of the twin headlights gives the R 1250 RS a balanced and modern look. The handlebar geometry ensures a sporty sitting position.
Full power ahead.
BMW ShiftCam is the name of the innovative technology that lets you accelerate faster from any speed. This is achieved by means of a variable camshaft control system. The increase to 100 kW (136 hp) gives you more power and, with the capacity expansion to 1254 ccm, the possibility to make another sprint in the fast lane. The increase in torque (max. 143 Nm) is noticeable in every rpm range, so that typical boxer punch and pure riding pleasure are guaranteed.
TFT display with connectivity.
Connect your smartphone to your bike via Bluetooth. The 6.5-inch TFT display shows you everything about your motorcycle and offers you in conjunction with the smartphone app additional features such as navigation, music and telephony.
