2018 BMW R 1200 R
If you were
designing a pictogram to represent a motorcycle, you could do much worse than
the 2018 BMW R 1200 R as a model. Generic in a very good way, the BMW R
1200 R is the most unadorned of the R 1200 line from BMW, and that give
you the freedom to do almost anything you want with it. While you won’t
want to take it off-road, it will be happy doing everything from cruising down
to the local posh coffee shop to riding across the continent with a couple of
soft saddlebags.
The R 1200 R has natural
ergonomics, and superbly torquey motor, and fully predictable and
confidence-inspiring handling. The 2018 BMW R 1200 R is the embodiment of what
a motorcycle is.
