BMW R1250R - and with a boxer engine, the bike can "ignite"

BMW produces not only cars, but also motorcycles. By the way, the German brand has something in common with the Soviet and Russian Urals. First, our heavy bikes with sidecars were copied from BMW. And secondly, the Irbit motorcycle plant still produces boxer engines, like the Germans. If in Russia the Ural was equipped with structurally ancient engines due to poverty and the impossibility of modernization, then BMW decided to make their own “chip” out of this. However, IMZ also became proud of its outdated engines, and indeed, the new Russian "carriages" now cost like two Lada Grants.


And BMW continues to equip its most expensive and legendary motorcycles with boxer engines. And they do not care that they are outdated. It's like Harley-Davidson with its V-Twin - brand ownership, prestige and an indicator of the social status of the owner.

So the BMW R1250R is equipped with the same boxer engine as its predecessors for more than 75 years. And no matter how much the manufacturer tells stories about the next innovations in the motor, it essentially remains the same. But the BMW R1250R turned out to be really interesting!
