FULL POWER AHEAD: BMW ShiftCam is the name of the innovative technology that lets you accelerate faster from any speed. This is achieved by means of a variable camshaft control system. The increase to 136 hp gives you more power and, with the capacity expansion to 1254 cc, the possibility to make another sprint in the fast lane. The increase in torque (max 105 lb-ft) is noticeable in every rpm range, delivering the typical boxer punch an pure riding pleasure.

Modern adventure bikes offer relaxed ergonomics and increasingly capable on-road performance while promising off-road potential. Nonetheless, relatively few owners are taking their expensive, heavy adventure bikes into the boondocks and there remains a solid case for melding large capacity engines with manageable curb weight and sporty yet comfortable control positions. The BMW R 1250 RS does just that. And does it well.
Central to the RS’ appeal is BMW’s semi-liquid-cooled, opposed-twin 1254cc engine introduced in the US in 2019 to replace the last air-cooled boxers. The same powertrain drives the acclaimed R 1250 GS adventure bikes, the R 1250 RT tourer, and R 1250 R naked roadster. You could argue the RS is hard to justify in an already extensive lineup, but there are very few motorcycles like it. And while some can never bring themselves to accept BMW’s distinctive cylinder head arrangement, rudely protruding from the engine casing, it is the epitome of German practicality. It may not be sleek, but the positioning of the cylinders maximizes air cooling and therefore requires less liquid-cooling to provide competitive peak power. The boxer configuration also keeps engine mass low down for improved handling and balance, and although the RS" 60-inch wheelbase softens its sports credentials, it is still a bike to take on twisty mountain roads with confidence, with or without a passenger and luggage.
The R 1250 RS uses a tubular steel frame and bolt-on subframe, using the engine as a stressed member to help reduce weight. A cast aluminum single-sided swingarm combines BMW’s Paralever shaft drive and suspension, which benefits from continuously variable, hydraulic preload and spring adjustment via a strut-mounted hand-wheel and adjustable rebound damping. Our test bike came in the Imperial Blue Metallic paint scheme, part of the Exclusive Style option, which includes gold anodized brake calipers, a stainless-steel tank cover, and matching gray matte frame and cylinder head covers. The 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels, also finished in gray matte, come shod in Metzler Roadtec Z8s, which boast solid cornering credentials and all-weather security. Brembo four-piston radial calipers and dual 320mm discs provide assured stopping power and work with a dual-piston single 276mm disc at the rear.
When BMW updated the boxer engine, they included variable valve technology, using different cams for low and high rev ranges in a similar way to Honda’s VTEC auto engine. BMW’s ShiftCam seamlessly shuffles two sets of inlet cams, one set for low-rev efficiency, the other for maximum performance. The intake valves open slightly out of sync resulting in a vortex that efficiently blends fuel and air to maximize combustion, which also improves efficiency in the lower rev ranges and power when you give it the beans. I first tested this engine riding the R 1250 GS on a 2,000-mile on- and off-road tour of Colorado. It is spectacular. The 1254cc flat-twin puts out plenty of top-end power, supplemented by masses of torque and impeccable manners at lower revs, topped off with a fantastically burbly exhaust note. The RS’ peak horsepower of 136 comes at 7,750 RPM, and the maximum torque, reached at 6,250 RPM, is a mighty 105 lb-ft. That’s more torque than KTM’s Super Duke GT or Kawasaki’s supercharged H2 SX.
The R 1250 RS has BMW’s excellent 6.5-inch TFT color display, and the Multi-Controller wheel on the left bar manages the various menus. Our test model features Rider Modes Pro, which adds Dynamic Pro and Dynamic to the standard Road and Rain modes, and Dynamic Traction Control and ABS Pro, which work in conjunction with an IMU sensor monitoring lean angle, wheel speed, and other data to calculate intervention levels. Our tester was missing the excellent active-electronic suspension (ESA System) we had on the F 900 XR we recently tested, and usually associated with the Dynamic Rider Modes. I suspect it may have fallen victim to the supply chain issues affecting many manufacturers. Nonetheless, we did have the quick-shifter (although, on the RS, I never felt the need to use it), the GPS mount, cruise control, a tire pressure monitor, and keyless ignition. All around LED lights worked very well in the dark when we finished our longest test ride, and the only issue was a slight vibration in the twist grip, which, after three hours in the saddle, made my hand numb.
The base model BMW R 1250 RS comes in their familiar Black Storm Metallic and has an MSRP of $15,695. Two style options include Sport ($525), finished in Light White with a contrasting red frame, and combines a stainless steel engine spoiler and tank cover. Our test bike includes the Exclusive ($425) package and Imperial Blue Metallic paint scheme, with gray matte contrast details, gold calipers and tank cover. The RS we tested, with additional options, has an MSRP of $18,795. Adding the ESA suspension brings the total to $19,045; if you add any options, this is the one to have.
The R 1250 RS deserves a place in the BMW lineup and, for that matter, many garages. No, it"s not the fastest, lightest, or most nimble. Nevertheless, it"s plenty quick, a careless joy to ride, and the endless torque makes it a perfect machine for touring at pace rather than racing with bags. The RS is a stead-fast, zero-drama bike with a solid reliability record and an all but zero maintenance drivetrain and, although I would never take it to the track, I’d take it just about anywhere else.
The protective film is made of a special hardened glass that reliably protects the 10.25-inch TFT display against contamination, stone chips and damage, even while riding in off-road terrain. The hardened glass has a non-reflective surface that makes the TFT display easy to read during everyday use. The protective film displays the BMW Motorrad lettering in the bottom.

The new BMW Motorrad Connected display will offer a built-in navigation system via the Connectivity App installed on the smartphone, according to an official sneak peek of the new product. This will replace the turn-by-turn navigation currently used on the BMW TFT Dash.
This new product will make the standard GPS obsolete, thanks to the offline maps and to the user-friendly nature of the smartphone app. The sneak peek was revealed in the “RideAndTalk” BMW Motorrad podcast.
Looking at the size and the shape of the new BMW TFT Display, we think that it will debut on the touring segment, and not on the GS. The R1250RT and K1600GT series are featuring some old-school analog dashes, and BMW will probably introduce this new one pretty soon. More than that, it looks too wide to fit other models such as the R1250GS, R1250R/RS or S1000XR, F900 series, and so on.
Moreover, the whole BMW range excepting the G310GS/R and the touring series are already fitted with the first generation of the BMW Motorrad Connectivity Dash, which offers the turn-by-turn navigation.
How does it work? You have to download the free smartphone app, tho connect via Bluetooth, and to set up the destination on the smartphone. The TFT Dash is taking over the information and shows you the guidance (it also features audio guidance). Of course, you can also listen to music and make calls.
The R 1250 RT is the perfect companion for your tour: Its legendary BMW ShiftCam Boxer engine pulls just as powerfully over country roads as it does over winding mountain passes. Its new front end makes it look more dynamic and slimmer. On the other hand, there is a wide range of features such as the extra-large 10.25" TFT display or available Active Cruise Control (ACC) - providing extra comfort on your journey. At the end of the day, you sit back relaxed knowing that the next tour is always the greatest.Features may include:Large standard 10.25" TFT color display
The large and easy-to-read 10.25" TFT screen with full HD resolution is both an instrument cluster and on-board computer. On it, you’ll find full instrumentation as well as navigation and media.New front with LED headlights
Great new look and better vision: The new front end with LED headlights, as standard, emphasize the dynamic lines of the R 1250 RT even more, while the lower body height increases your field of view.Full power in every speed range with BMW ShiftCam
