On October 27, 2022, BMW Motorrad officially unveiled the 2023 R 1250 R roadster. The new bike gets some modest updates for the new year—with updated features that should please some riders who’d been asking for them. Let’s take a look.
The 2023 BMW R 1250 R is powered by a 1,254cc ShiftCam boxer engine, which makes a claimed 136 horsepower at 7,250 rpm and 143 newton-meters (approximately 105.4 pound-feet) of torque at 6,250 rpm. The engine has been optimized to offer a balance of power, smoothness, fuel consumption, and low emission generation, per BMW.
