Reviews and Riding Experience:

Engine: The liquid-cooled boxer engine is highly praised for its smooth power delivery, strong torque across the low and midrange, and overall refined character.
Braking: The Brembo brakes are noted for their superb initial bite, excellent feel, and effective performance.
Suspension: With Dynamic ESA, the bike offers versatile suspension settings, providing comfort for various road conditions and effective handling.
Ergonomics: Generally comfortable with wide handlebars. Some riders might find the legroom a bit cramped, and wind protection from the standard sport screen is minimal, especially at higher speeds, though larger screens are available.
Versatility: The R1200R is considered a highly versatile motorcycle, capable of handling daily commutes, spirited canyon carving, and even light touring with the right accessories (like luggage and a larger windscreen).
Common Issues (from older model R1200R and R1200 series):
While the 2017 model is part of the liquid-cooled generation (often considered more reliable than earlier air/oil-cooled models), some general issues seen in previous R1200 series and occasionally reported include:

Fuel Strip/Level Sensor: This is a well-known issue across many BMW models, where the fuel level sensor can fail, leading to inaccurate fuel gauge readings. BMW has offered extended warranties on these.
Final Drive: While less common on newer models, early R1200 series bikes had some reports of leaking final drives or bearing issues. It's generally less of a concern for the 2017 model but worth checking maintenance history.
Throttle Body Issues: Some reports of plastic seals on the throttle bodies cracking, leading to vacuum leaks.
Recalls: Ensure any applicable recalls (e.g., for the fuel pump connector) have been addressed by checking the VIN with a BMW dealer.
