Reviews and Rider Impressions:

Engine Performance: The liquid-cooled boxer engine is highly praised for its smooth power delivery, ample torque across the rev range, and strong acceleration.

Handling: The R1200R is noted for its superb handling, stability, and ease of maneuvering, even at low speeds. The electronic suspension (Dynamic ESA) is a highlight, offering a comfortable ride that adapts well to various road conditions.

Braking: The Brembo brakes are consistently described as superb, with excellent initial bite and strong, controllable stopping power.

Common Issues and Things to Consider:

While generally reliable, some potential issues for this generation of R1200R (and other liquid-cooled BMW boxers) have been reported:
