Style is measured in cm3. Its powerful engine is equipped with an array of sensors, which in conjunction with the BMS-K engine electronics, ensure superior performance and outstanding fuel economy. [. . . ] What's more, it requires very little maintenance and is exceptionally durable. The BMW R 1200 R is a top performer when it comes to deceleration too. As an option, it can be fitted with the partially integral version of the newgeneration BMW Motorrad Integral ABS system. Weighing just 2. 2 kilograms, this ensures the optimum distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels, while giving riders precise control over braking force and maximizing grip. The new ASC (Automatic Stability Control) makes motorcycling even safer. Fitted in conjunction with BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, this rider aid prevents wheelspin. When riding in adverse conditions, for example on wet or uneven surfaces, ASC significantly improves the stability of the motorcycle, and with it the safety of the rider. However, even ASC can't defy the laws of physics, and when it is activated, riders need to exercise some caution ­ especially when accelerating hard and leaning into corners. And if you don't want the electronics to intervene, the system can be deactivated at the touch of a button, even while the bike is in motion. As you would expect from a machine of this class, the riding position is the last word in comfort. The seat has been optimized for step length, meaning that it is markedly slimmer towards the front ­ this gives more freedom of movement when riding and makes it easier to touch the ground when stationary. At the rear, the seat is widened, to offer the rider enhanced comfort. The optional on-board computer gives you all the information you need at a glance, including air temperature, range, average fuel consumption, and average speed. It also warns of any black ice.
