presentation of the R 1200 R édition spéciale 90 ans 2013
when the R 1200 R looks around, it sees a liquid R 1200 GS, and it knows that this engine will soon come between its steel tubes. So the roadster wipes away a touch of nostalgia and splashes out on a special 90th anniversary series. It looks in its rear-view mirrors and sees its distant, first ancestor: the 500 R 32. The essentials are already there: the flat-twin, the cardan shaft transmission, the substantial price tag. The first BMW motorcycle in history churned out 8.5 horsepower - 90% of a century later, its cubic capacity has more than doubled and its power, 110 hp, has been multiplied by 13.
under its "90 Jahre BMW Motorrad" moniker, the R 1200 R once again plays on elegance and discretion. The colors chosen are dark, sapphire black and asphalt gray. A hint of granite grey on the cylinder heads and wheels, a hint of gold on the brake calipers and fork tubes, and the finishing touch: a 90-year-old plaque fixed to the fork crown, in place of the BMW emblem.
