Range of Equipment:
Optional extras and special equipment.
As a classic Roadster in unique design and with outstanding, dynamic all-round qualities, the new R 1200 R definitely ranks alone in its segment. And through its very concept, it concentrates from the start on the essential: sheer riding pleasure of the highest calibre.
BMW Motorrad nevertheless once again offers a very wide range of additional features for the new Roadster, catering for the rider who wishes to personalise his - or her - BMW. Indeed, this wide range of superior features meets even the most demanding customer wishes and preferences.
BMW Motorrad demonstrates its leadership in the area of active safety through the new generation of Integral ABS available as an option. This new generation of ABS brake technology, just like BMW Motorrad's unique ASC anti-spin control, is indeed making its world debut in the R 1200 R.
Apart from other almost classic features already to be admired on BMW Motorrad's other models such as the main stand, heated handles, an anti-theft warning system, cylinder protection hoops or a chrome-plated exhaust, the discerning customer also has the choice of numerous innovative technologies ranging from the on-board computer through ESA Electronic Suspension Adjustment all the way to the navigation system. A wide range of options, therefore, for even greater comfort or enhanced functions.
Sophisticated components upgrading the looks of the machine, such as aluminium parts finished in chrome or milled from a complete block, are also being prepared to additionally highlight the unique and classic character of this Boxer Roadster.
As usual, optional extras are provided straight from the factory, while special equipment may also be fitted subsequently by the customer's BMW Motorcycle Dealer.

ESA Electronic Suspension Adjustment.As an option the rider is able to conveniently vary the suspension of his R 1200 R simply by pressing a button on the handlebar, adjusting the set-up of the springs and dampers by an electric motor in the optional ESA spring struts.
This adjustment function is available even while riding, with the system functions being the same as on the R 1200ST and R 1200 RT.
ESA offers a high standard of comfort in control and ensures optimum adjustment of spring elements to the rider's particular style of riding and load conditions at any given point in time. The system also takes the higher standard of riding dynamics on the Roadster into account and
makes a significant contribution to superior riding safety.
TPC tyre pressure control.Optional TPC tyre pressure control makes a significant contribution to the high standard of riding comfort and safety by reliably informing the rider of the current level of tyre pressure. And since the rider is able to conveniently display the data required in the cockpit at the touch of a button, there is no need to stop, say, at a filling station to adjust tyre pressure in a laborious process often involving dirty fingers.
The data required for tyre pressure control comes from sensors in the wheels.
TPC also features an active warning function: As soon as the system recognises a relevant deviation from the pressure required, a yellow information light or, in the event of a greater deviation, a red warning light automatically informs the rider of the current status.
TPC is scheduled for introduction in late 2006 and will then be available straight from the factory and may also be retrofitted as special equipment.
On-board computer. The on-board computer available as an optional extra enhancing the wide range of functions already offered by the instrument cluster featured as standard, is a very practical companion on the road. Merely pressing a button on the handlebar, the rider is able to call up all kinds of information then presented in the display. This includes bar displays presenting the fuel supply and engine oil temperature as well as gauges showing the range still remaining on the fuel in the tank, the rider's average speed, average fuel consumption, and the ambient temperature. And as another very important feature the on-board computer informs the rider of the risk of black ice once the outside temperature drops to 3 °C (37.5 °F) or below.
Case support.The new BMW R 1200 R is available straight from the factory with an elegant case support specifically matching the slender rear design of the machine and thus not impairing the overall looks of the motorcycle in any way. An alternative is the special equipment case support featuring an additional luggage rack.
Sports windshield. It almost goes without saying that the sports-minded rider opting for the new R 1200 R has no reason to forego adequate protection from wind and weather, particularly as the new machine is far more dynamic than its predecessor. This efficient protection is provided by the sports windshield which, despite its small dimensions, efficiently guides wind and weather away from the rider. The scratch-proof surface, in turn, ensures lasting transparency and maintains the good looks of the windshield at all times.
The rider with a greater focus on riding comfort also has the choice of a high-rise windshield available exclusively as special equipment and described in greater detail in the section on SE.
Double seat bench low and high.To offer both the somewhat shorter and the taller rider an optimum seating position, BMW Motorrad is able to provide both a lower (seat height 770 mm/30.3´´) and higher (seat height 830 mm/32.7´´) seat bench. And whatever version the rider chooses, these special seats come as a no-cost option when ordered straight from the factory.
Direction indicators in white LED technology.The BMW R 1200 R will soon be available with white direction indicators in LED technology scheduled for introduction as of early 2007 and then fitted either at the factory or by the BMW Motorcycle Dealer. Up to that point in time the machine can be ordered as an option with conventional white direction indicators.

System cases.The case system available for BMW's new Roadster is the same as on the R 1200 ST and R 1200 RT. Hence, the watertight cases offer a capacity of 32 litres or 1.12 cu ft and are readily accessible thanks to their simple and convenient closing mechanism. Through their carefully conceived design, the cases do not stick out too far despite their ample capacity.
Topcase. The topcase is also the same as on the R 1200 ST, increasing the Roadster's luggage capacity by a significant 28 litres or almost 1.00 cubic feet - enough space for light travel luggage or a helmet. A further advantage is that the topcase fits quickly and very conveniently on the luggage rack, the back padding also available as an option offering the passenger extra seating comfort at all times.
Tankbag.The practical tankbag is a special development for the R 1200 R and adjusts perfectly to the contours of the tank itself. The extendable main compartment features an inner bag lockable and glued into position to reliably protect the contents from getting wet and thus eliminating the need for an inconvenient rain cover.
The map pocket offering ample space for an unfolded DIN A4 road map is also watertight. On the side facing the rider, the tankbag comes with an additional, sewn-on pocket complete with a separate zipper for all kinds of odds and ends and again easily accessible for practical use.
Windshield, high.The rider seeking in particular to enjoy riding comfort free of fatigue will certainly benefit from the high-rising windshield. Comparable in its dimensions and shape with the high-rising windshield on the R 1150 R, this high windshield significantly reduces the forces acting on the rider at high speeds, allowing him to travel even long distances on the Autobahn without
problems in an upright seating position. And since the high-rising windshield also comes with a scratch-proof surface, it always looks good and attractive even after long use.
Optical embellishment.Sophisticated components and high-class materials such as chrome and aluminium come out particularly well on a classic Roadster. Precisely this is why BMW Motorrad is developing a special range of accessories allowing the truly discerning rider to upgrade his or her R 1200 R to an even higher level of class and style. The features currently being prepared include chrome-plated custom mirrors, cover caps for the fork bridge and Telelever lathed out of one block, a milled Paralever bar, handbrake lever, clamping supports, and chrome-plated cylinder head covers.
This special range of customising features is currently in preparation, the exact date of introduction is not yet known.
Accessories for several models.Further accessories are also to be introduced for both the new Roadster and other BMW Motorrad Boxers. These will include a paddock stand, a lockable oil plug, an additional toolkit, as well as cables and a support for the BMW Motorrad Navigator.
