From my experience, this bike excels in its handling and comfort, making it an excellent choice for both city riding and long-distance tours.

Price
The BMW R1200R, although discontinued in India, was priced at 15,05,000 ex-showroom in Delhi. When it was available, the on-road price would have included additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other local taxes, which could have pushed the total cost to around 17-18 lakhs, depending on the state and local regulations. Despite its discontinuation, the R1200R remains a desirable model, and its price reflects its premium build quality, advanced technology, and robust performance.

The 2024 BMW R1250R has been updated with even more power across the entire engine speed range, optimized fuel consumption, and improved emission levels.

The design of the R1200R is praised for its minimal coverage of engine parts, large round headlight, and round handlebars, which evoke the heritage of early BMW motorcycles.
