BMW’s low-profile roadster, the R 1250 R, gets a few nice upgrades for 2023.
- BMW Motorrad has given a much-needed electronic upgrade for the R 1250 R roadster.
- The 2023 R 1250 R continue to make 136hp and 142Nm.
The BMW R 1250 R might not be the most popular model in the Bavarian family portfolio, but it certainly lives up to expectations thanks to the boxer twin engine.
Ensuring the bikes remain relevant for the new year, the R 1250 R has received a significant electronic upgrade.
That said, the 2023 BMW R 1250 R now features Dynamic Traction Control, Dynamic Brake Control and BMW Motorrad ABS Pro as standard.
In addition, BMW added a third riding mode, Eco, to the bike’s existing Road and Rain modes.
However, the best upgrade introduced to the R 1250 R is ABS Pro, allowing riders to take corners confidently on a fairly heavy motorcycle.
Last but not least, the 2023 R 1250 R is also equipped with LED turn signals.
Nonetheless, riders can also choose to upgrade the R 1250 R with some optional features, including an adaptive turning headlight, a fancy passenger seat cover and spoked wheels.
Also, the 2023 BMW R 1250 R comes in two different colourways; Ice Grey with Triple Black and Style Sport Racing Blue Metallic.
Mechanically, the 2023 BMW R 1250 R continue to make 136hp @ 7,750rpm and 142.3Nm @ 6,250rpm.
Other notable features include:
- 45mm inverted front fork (full-adjustable)
- fully adjustable BMW paralever
- twin 320mm floating disc
- 18L fuel tank
