I've been riding Beemers for 50 years, and an R1200R for the last 8. This is the most capable and fun road bike I've ever had. Light (for its engine displacement), comfortable, torque for days, exceptionally flickable, great brakes and rock steady in the corners. Did I mention superb engineering, build quality and reliability? Whether it's the highway, the canyons, or the track, you'll love it! Put bags on it and go coast-to-coast.
As an ex-Swartkop member and an owner of 17’ R12R, this video made me want to return to the track just for the fun of it. Great riding. Thanks for sharing and keep it safe!
Yes! Mine is ready 19th May. Thank you for proving me right on my choice. Oh the modes were done by mode and clutch in! Tacho was the bar on that display. Awesome video. 😉
Wow! Did not peg the R1200R as a bike to ride on the track! You sir, are talented! I was debating getting this bike as my daily rider, and this just sealed the deal! Should be good company for my 675R.
Update for people wondering: Current R1200R has quickshifter (up-shifting) and optional blipper (down-shifting) You can also change the display to show revs and digital kph. It's still not a very intuitive display unfortunately. The bike indeed is nimble. However since your ears won't tell you when you're in race mode (you have power and torque in low revs), it's not a good bike for starters. For starters the F800R or a 3-cylinder (XSR900) or a 4-cylinder (Z900) would be better.
Good ride, thanks! @miragegp how do you think - is R1250R worth about +40-50% cost vs r1200r? Some people write comments, thats its still the same bike (not mention shiftcam +10% HP, and display), and its smart not to overpay for r1250r but get r1200r 2015-2016 year in good condition... here we have good r1200r for 10k$ and r1250r from 14-15k$.
+Tibor Imely I don't think so Tibor. Bars are very wide, it's difficult to shift your body back or forward, even to move from one side to the other. Bike feels solid though, electronics suspension worked really well.
Excellent. Thanks for including the pre-session "walk around" as requested. Perhaps a "post session" close up of the tires, rotors, etc right after you come into the pits to show the wear pattern of the new Pilots and the hue of the rotors? *Do you know what level of ABS the Instructor was using when he passed off line in the cold, damp line that caused him to hang the rear out supermoto / flat track TT style as he then overcooked the next apex? At least he did not hold your buddy up too badly, nor low side coming across in front of you while trying so desperately to scrub off all of that entry speed he was carrying. Looks like so much FUN! I want to play too!!! /Brakelate/
Hi Giovanni - I can't reply directly to your post - you need to change your security settings. Will test ride RS as soon as it's available. Same goes for XR. Stay tuned.
miragegp thanks for answering, I'm really curious about the RS. strange you can't reply directly as I received replies before in YT. thanks for noticing though I'll look into it.
Test rode this bike on the road a couple of weeks ago and was blown away. Also test rode at Phillip Island race Track the SSR1000 a couple of weeks before that and that bike is mind blowingly good. I'd never get one for the road though. But the R1200R has everything. Power, upright seating, all the electronic aids you could want, handling. Its an amazing bike. But here in Australia its around $28,000 (around 20,000 euros !!) with panniers, quick shift, keyless start, touring pack. Just too expensive. How much is it overseas guys ? Great video by the way. The race with the R1000 was fantastic. Thnx
Brenton Goodsell I'm in South Africa, it's around 20.000USD - without farkles. Expensive. But I really enjoyed it. Would probably like it even more on the road. Video coming up with 2015 S1000RR.
+Brenton Goodsell I ended up buying a dealer used one. It truly is an amazing bike. Cant wait to test it on the track at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit.
I'm no Rossi, but the guy in front is leaning his butt into the corners and his shoulders away from the turns. I can barely stand toi watch. He needs lessons.

Glad you like them!

Gabor Faucon Hi Gabor, It is fantastic, I really like it.

Cheers mate, thank you very much. Ride safe!

Thanks Frank!
That was fantastic to watch.
Picture quality was excellent as well.
bikeriderscotland Cheers mate, thanks. More videos coming soon.

Excellent choice !!!
Very nice!
Looks like the rider on the green bike sits on a surfboard! Nice film! This is one hell of a good bike!
Wow! Did not peg the R1200R as a bike to ride on the track! You sir, are talented!
I was debating getting this bike as my daily rider, and this just sealed the deal! Should be good company for my 675R.
And it moves on the track - so nimble !
Enjoy your new toy !!!
Had one of these on test ride absolute hooligan bike loved it still haven't gotten one but i will have soon as i sold my Honda CB1300
It will be a big difference - two completely different bikes.
Excelente video gracias
Thanks!
Cool ride dude!
Thank you !
nice sound!
Thank you !
Very nice!!! I have this bike but me, i'm not a pilot! But i love my R1200R LC ;-)
It's amazing. I'm thinking 1250 by the end of this year - will see how recovery goes after my crash.
cool vid! do you think you're gonna do a video with the r1200rs soon?
well ridden, great corner speed from the r1200r! cheers
tony
+antonoat Cheers mate, thanks.
The R1200R is one amazing bike. And that was one amazing ride.
As much as I thought boxers are old school, I love those engines now.
Update for people wondering:
Current R1200R has quickshifter (up-shifting) and optional blipper (down-shifting)
You can also change the display to show revs and digital kph. It's still not a very intuitive display unfortunately.

Ich liebe das Bike ❤️
Do you think clip-ons with more forward body position would help the handling instead of the handlebar ? Thanks
+Tibor Imely I don't think so Tibor. Bars are very wide, it's difficult to shift your body back or forward, even to move from one side to the other. Bike feels solid though, electronics suspension worked really well.
That was awesome thanks for posting!
I'm still posting everywhere your video on the GS spanking the Panigale. Yo da man!
Eyvind Mondragon Thanks Eyvind !!!
Why doesn' t he use the quick shifter and the blipper? Wasn't he prepared for his job?

I missed so many posts my friend...this is crazy!
Your impressions of the bike as a Fun Track tool versus your GS versus maybe a 1000s??handling,braking and just general power?thks
Bruce Kendall Hi Bruce, video with S1000R will be up by tomorrow morning and I am busy with S1000R as well....all will be revealed.
miragegp Thks,look forward
Bruce Kendall A bit delayed - done more than half of it - should be uploaded by weekend.

***** Now I can :-)
I swear I didn't do a thing!!!!!

Let us know what you think after track ride !
NICE SKILLS, NICE BIKE MATE... TOP SPEED OF R1200R ?
Hi Pietro, I never took it flat out but I think it's very close if not the same as GS....in the region of 230km/hr.
Is it ok on track that this green rider did? He cut off the the GS rider line.
Not OK but it's track day...$hit happens.
@@miragegp i see)
Not the same... But there's a certain '09 R12R that I'd love to have...
Eyvind Mondragon I have to say, I wasn't big fan of older R...
Didn't like boxers motors either.
Now I'm a convert :-)
Why you didn't used the quick shifter
elaeroplano Bike didn't have one.
miragegp I got my R1200R two weeks ago and it has the fabulouse quickshifter. I love this bike.
elaeroplano I liked it too. Very nimble through corners.
+elaeroplano Und runter schalten geht auch ohne Kupplung! Wenn man den Preis dafür zahlt!
drehzahl72
Ja, ich meine 400 euronen einmal runterschalten oder ein neues getriebe
No ,no at 1:45 that rotating device changes your sat nav.
Yip, you're correct !
You are welcome,i did not know myself.
Let me show you my r1100s on track... Do you dare??? LOL LOL...
Let me know time and place, I will be there :-)
@@miragegp I live in Spain. Jerez de la frontera. Lol. Lol. Do you know Jerez De La Frontera circuit??? See you...
I just need to recover from my previous crash, then we set up time and place :-)
I'm no Rossi, but the guy in front is leaning his butt into the corners and his shoulders away from the turns. I can barely stand toi watch. He needs lessons.
He's no Rossi either ;-)
I feel like the instructor is scared of the bike he is riding. Or maybe keeping a slow pace so others don't crash. Not sure but he is slow...
He is very smooth, riding at decent pace but not racing anyone.
