BMW R 1200 S Motorcycle Reviews on Cycle Insider (2)
Avg. Rating

This bike is very cool. Without a doubt best I've owned (Ducati 800ss, Suzuki TLS, Honda F4i, Kawa 600r). Handles much lighter than its actual weight, but comfy enough to put some miles on. I can't stop riding it.

I have 600 miles on the bike, taking it in for its 600 mile service. So far the bike has exceeded my expectations. Lots of power, easy to turn, plenty of leg room. I have the Ohlins upgrade so I will set the suspension up after the service is done. My previous bike was a VFR, so to compare the two I would classify the BMW as a step towards a true sport bike, less of a tour bike. There is no room for storage. My magnetic tank bag will not work because of the plastic tank cover. Price was stiff, but to this point I am very pleased with my purchase.
