The new BMW R 1200 RS

Bericht door J@n »

The new BMW R 1200 RS – a new dimension in sports touring.
BMW Motorrad and the legendary RS production bikes – a model badge that continues to symbolise travel and sport in equal measure. In 1976, the R 100 RS became the first mass-produced motorcycle in the world to come with a full, frame-mounted fairing that had been developed in the wind tunnel. As the consummate all-rounder for both travelling and sporting deployment, it established the sports tourer segment, as it has been known ever since. With the arrival of the new R 1200 RS, BMW Motorrad is continuing this long tradition by unveiling a sports tourer powered by a flat-twin engine that succeeds in transposing the all-round qualities of the original BMW RS concept into the modern day to stunning effect. Whether darting along country roads, revelling in its dynamic performance with a passenger on board or going on a long touring holiday – the new R 1200 RS takes sports touring to a whole new and truly thrilling level.

Meaty, mightier boxer engine for dynamic sports touring.
The flat-twin boxer engine on the new R 1200 RS is the same DOHC drive unit that already powers the R 1200 GS, R 1200 GS Adventure as well as the R 1200 RT and the new R 1200 R. It produces 92 kW (125 hp) at 7,750 rpm and develops its peak torque of 125 Nm (92 lb‑ft) at 6,500 rpm. Compared to the engines on the GS, GS Adventure and RT, torque has actually been increased slightly at low revs. The exhaust gases are routed through a 2-in-1 exhaust system with a rear silencer that is steeply angled for dynamic effect. A modified airbox, newly shaped air intake snorkels and a centrally positioned radiator all lend themselves to a slender, sporty and dynamic-looking front silhouette.

ABS, ASC and two riding modes as standard. Riding mode Pro with Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) as an optional extra.
For optimum adaptation to the rider’s individual needs, the new R 1200 RS already comes equipped as standard with the two riding modes “Rain” and “Road”. Besides ABS, the standard specification also includes Automatic Stability Control (ASC) for increased handling safety when accelerating. And, with the optional Riding mode Pro feature, the new R 1200 RS also adds Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) with banking detection as well as two extra riding modes – “Dynamic” and “User” – to its technical repertoire.

Tubular steel bridge frame with engine as a self-supporting element. Wheel suspension using upside-down telescopic fork and EVO Paralever.
A new tubular steel bridge frame incorporating the flat-twin engine as a self-supporting element was purpose-developed for the new R 1200 RS. With an upside-down telescopic fork at the front and EVO Paralever at the rear, the wheel suspension adopts the classic chassis technology of dynamic sports tourers, but updated in typical BMW Motorrad fashion. Excellent steering precision, directional accuracy, neutral handling and braking rigidity were all a top priority when configuring the chassis. All while never losing sight of the overriding objective for the new R 1200 RS of creating an exceptionally dynamic RS model for the keen rider, whose design language has been derived from the S 1000 RR superbike.

Latest-generation Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) for ideal riding dynamics in any situation.
Opting for the latest generation of the electronically controlled suspension Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) takes the dynamic riding experience to even greater heights. With its two damping settings, “Road” and “Dynamic”, Dynamic ESA enables the rider to enjoy unprecedented levels of handling safety, performance and comfort, as the damping is automatically adapted to the prevailing riding conditions to suit the riding situation and the manoeuvres being carried out.

Multifunctional instrument cluster with analogue speedometer, on-board computer and a wealth of information.
Even the instrumentation of the new R 1200 RS takes a quantum leap into a new sports touring era. The speed is displayed in traditional fashion by an analogue speedometer, but there is also a TFT display for showing a wide array of information.

Sporty design with dynamic proportions. Two colour and finish variants, each with their own character.
The BMW Motorrad RS models have always enjoyed a reputation for being the perfect all-rounders. The new BMW R 1200 RS fuses these credentials with both sharp performance and a sporty, dynamic design. The aerodynamically styled semi-fairing with twin headlights forms the “face” of the new BMW R 1200 RS and makes the fusion of tourer and sports machine plain to see. The dynamic proportions, with the low-set front and the delicately styled tail jutting up at the rear, give the bike a slight wedge shape and leave no doubt as to its sporting prowess, along with its many other talents. Two colour and finish variants each underline the powerful character of the new R 1200 RS, but in their own individual way. This results in a choice of two different styling variants: the classically sporty basic colours Lupin blue metallic / Light grey metallic and the sporty and exclusive “Style 2” variant in Granite grey metallic matt.

't schijnt een zeer wendbare moto te zijn. Ik ben alvast benieuwd naar de zithouding en de bijhorende testrit :-D

Heb van 1998 tot 2002 rondgereden met een 1100RS. Was toen al een hele leuke moto, ook voor lange afstanden. Wat sportievere look en zithouding dan de RT, wat minder agressief dan de K-reeks.
Denk dat BMW met deze nieuwe RS een goeie zet heeft gedaan. Ook nu zijn er immers nog heel wat boxerlovers voor die de RT er toch nét iets over is, en de GS net te avontuurlijk.

Ziet er niet mis uit.
Ie heeft precies de neus van een Tiger.
Denk wel dat dit model veel succes zal hebben
beter de bocht overschatten en jezelf onderschatten, het omgekeerde kan je een pak geld kosten...

Ben normaal niet voor modern spul, ben meer voor de klasieke lijn, maar deze vind ik wel geslaagd, beetje kombinatie van de K series en de R. Zou ik durven kopen, moest mijn bankdirecteur niet dwars liggen... :mrgreen:
Wel spijtig dat de telelever gesneuveld is, dit was nl 1 vd redenen waarom ik in 2010 mijn KTM terug vervangen heb voor een zoveelste BMW.

We zijn in de goede richting aan het gaan.
Nu alleen nog de tweede "R" in "R 1200 RS" laten vallen achter de tekentafels in Berlijn of München en er is terug licht aan het einde van de tunnel ...

Het zal aan mij liggen, maar ik dacht bij de eerste blik dat het om een 2007 Honda CBF600S met boxermotor ging... had toch een iets gedurfder design durven verwachten :-(

Zou inderdaad leuk zijn mocht er ook een R1200S in de pipeline zitten, met een eigen design (en geen pseudo Ducati of Honda :shock: copie)

PS: geen telelever wegens waterkoeling (plaats nodig voor radiator; alhoewel, de Gs heeft daar geen last van :-? )?

Geen Telever en de karakterloze neus van een Japanner. Geen TFT-display.
Tocht wat snel, snel op de markt willen brengen lijkt me.

Pfff, die tft-dashboards, ik reed inlangs eens met zo'n nieuwe GS, eens je leesbrilplichtig bent heb je niets meer aan al die 'nuttige' info (die ik op mijn niet LC ook niet mis).
