BMW R1200R Classic (2011-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW R1200R was a standard motorcycle manufactured by BMW in 2006 as a replacement for the BMW R1150R, continuing production until 2018. The bike was eventually replaced by the BMW R1250R.

In 2011, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW R1200R Classic, a motorcycle created for the more nostalgic riders among BMW fans. It packed the same engine, transmission, and chassis as the base model and was fitted with several classic elements.

It also boasted the latest technologies developed by German engineers complemented by classic elements, such as wire-spoke wheels with polished rims and a chrome-plated stainless steel two-into-one exhaust system.

Aesthetically, the bike had standard fittings, like a round headlight, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, an engine plate, a single exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the left-hand side, and wire-spoke wheels.

For suspension, the motorcycle packed a 41 mm BMW Motorrad Telelever system on the front with 120 mm of travel and a BMW Motorrad Paralever system on the rear with 140 mm of travel.

Braking-wise, the bike relied on two 320 mm floating discs with four-piston fixed calipers on the front and a 265 mm fixed disc with a two-piston fixed caliper on the rear.

As for power, the 2010 BMW R1200R Classic had its soul brought to life by a 1,170cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air/oil-cooled boxer engine that offered 109 hp at 7,500 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
