r1200r

Hello, Long time BMW rider, currently on '18 R1200R, first one a '59 R50/2, with a few in between. San Francisco Bay Area native, old-ish, retired , hoping to ride until they scrape me off the road for the last time. Soon to be more liberated from Covid-Noia when I get the 2nd jab, and will be...

HI folks, I wonder if anyone can chime in here. I have been on 1200GS's for the last number of years. I recently picked up a very nice 2007 R1200R; I wanted a bike to park on the street. My issues with it are basically with its small geometry, It feels like a sport bike with more upright...

Hi, can the battery on a BMW 2015 R1200R be safely charged by connecting a battery tender to the bike's 12v powersocket output jack (DIN Hella socket)?

I made a YouTube video of a comparison of the Knight Design Lowered Front Foot Pegs w/Rubber Tread vs the OEM.

Dear All, what are some of the things to look for when buying a used R1200R? It’s been over 15 years since I owned the last motorbike and I’ve decided to get back in the saddle. I’ve never owned a BMW before, so I’d welcome BMW specific issues as much as a general refresher. For example, a...

Got this accessories link from the dealer and found it useful: http://byo.bmwmotorcycles.com/15RR#accessories

hey - I'd love to hear from R1200R owners about their experiences with the bike (preferably 2007 up!). My GF had a tough get-off on her F650 last weekend in the Ozark Nat'l Forest so we're going to stay out of gravel and mud for a while and play slab. My Dakar will have to rest! But the RT...

Howdy y'all? I picked up a 2012 R1200R Classic last month with 2,000 mls on her. I have had many motorcycles in my life, but only one BMW before (2005 K1200S). This is my first Boxer and after my first 1,000 miles I must say I got exactly what I wanted. A light and fast bike with a perfect...

I'm interested in purchasing the 25mm handlebar risers from Wonderlich America - PN 8161626 for my 2011 R1200R Classic. Would anyone have advice on whether the front brake line should or shouldn't be lengthened?

There's a well documented post on the r1200rforum.com site about rust underneath the red fuel filler neck assembly that sits in/on the tank. Rather than post my own photos I've included the link: http://www.r1200rforum.com/forum/bmw-r1200r-maintenance-do-yourself-12/must-3018/ This was easy...

My last new BMW was a 1200GS in 2007. I just got a 2012 R1200R classic, which I think will be a great bike. But I found almost no maintenance information in the new owner's manual, nor is there a standard service/maintenance matrix. Looks like the new BMW motto is "take it to the dealer for...

Just bought a 2010 R1200R from Schlossman's in Milwaukee. A great experience. Can't wait to get it out on the road!

Hi there, Just got a 2007 R1200R and I am wondering which is the best way to lock my helmet (and sometimes two) to it There seem to be not a single pin under the seat for such purpose. I will appreciate anyone sharing their experiences with me. Thank you! Silvio.

I've decided to buy an R1200R and the question is which year. I'm considering '07-'09. Were there any changes in those years that I should know about. Also, mileage of 30K was suggested by a dealer to be an advantage because the bike was already broken in. Opinions? Any help/perspectives...
