Touring in the Fast Lane: The 2021 BMW R 1250 RS
Contents
The BMW R 1250 RS brings sports performance to the touring section of the 2021 BMW line-up. This celebrated European-made motorcycle features the power and performance of a BMW sports bike, but with the practicalities and comforts of a modern sports tourer. But if you take a look at the specs, it’s definitely more “sports” than “tourer.”
While the engine doesn’t scream like BMW’s inline-four sports performance motorcycles, the R 1250 RS’s 1,254 cc flat-twin produces plenty of grunt. The engine makes 136 horsepower and 136 horsepower and 104 lb-ft and can shift the R 1250 RS to speeds of over 125 mph. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox, with a shaft drive.
Standard features for this sports tourer include BMW Motorrad Integral ABS, ASC automatic stability control, two riding modes (Rain, Road) HSC hill start control, a full LED headlight, and a TFT-display. The TFT-display can be linked to your smartphone using Bluetooth and can be used for navigation and other media.
For 2021, the R 11250 RS is available in three color options. These include Black Storm Metallic, Austin Yellow Metallic, and Blue Metallic.
The 2021 BMW R 1250 RS starts at $15,695 USD / $18,000 CAD
