BMW R1200 (1997 to 2018)

The R1200 Motorrad was introduced in 1997 by BMW. It is equipped with a 1170 cc twin boxer engine, initially air/oil-cooled and, from 2013, partially liquid-cooled, with DOHC valve train and 4 valves per cylinder, paired to a 6 speed manual transmission with shaft drive. The range was extensive and included the R1200GS and R1200GS Adventure (trail), the R1200RT (grand tourer), the R1200R (roadster), the R1200RS (sport touring), the R1200S (sport), the R1200C and R1200CLC cruisers. The R1200 stood out for its weight reduction, a large increase in performance and a very high level of technology, incorporating Telelever, Paralever, advanced ABS, riding modes and electronic suspension, consolidating BMW as a benchmark in touring, trail and high end boxer motorcycles. The BMW R1200 was produced until 2018.
