2023 BMW R 1250 RS Power & Handling

BMW's ShiftCam technology for varying valve timing and valve lift on the intake side gives the R 1250 RS power across the entire engine speed range. Regardless of road conditions, this bike is smooth and quiet running. It's got great fuel economy, and for 2023 has a new standard ride mode called Eco, which encourages riders to ride as fuel-efficiently as possible. This ride mode has been added to the Rain and Road modes to form a trio of driving options for owners. The way it works is while you are in Eco mode, the TFT color display provides an efficiency rating so riders know just how much fuel they’re using at a given moment.  For maximum performance - such as riding uphill - the ride mode button can be used to switch from ECO quickly and easily to a different ride mode. There is also an upgraded Riding Modes Pro that comes with the Premium package upgrade. This provides even more individually configurable riding modes. The Engine Drag Torque Control (MSR), also part of the Premium Package, is another new component of the Pro riding mode. It can be used to safely avoid unstable riding conditions. Here are the handling highlights for the 2023 R 1250 RS:
  • Three riding modes including a New “ECO” mode
  • 1,254 cc air/liquid-cooled 2-cylinder boxer engine
  • BMW ShiftCam
  • Anti-hopping clutch
  • Shaft drive
  • Steering stabilizer
  • Front upside-down 45mm fork
  • Dynamic Traction Control (DTC)
  • Dynamic Brake Control (DBC)
  • Hill Start Control
